A$AP Rocky teases potential name for Rihanna’s third child in GQ interview

A$AP Rocky teased a potential name for Rihanna's third child during a recent interview with GQ, joking that he might name the baby after his co-star in Highest 2 Lowest, Denzel Washington. “Denzel, no matter what,” Rocky quipped when asked whether he would pick the Oscar winner’s name for their child. “The first female come out named Denzel, it’s lit. We got it figured out.”

Rihanna publicly introduced their third child at the Met Gala in New York City in May. The couple, who have been romantically linked since 2020, are already parents to sons RZA, born in 2022, and Riot, born in 2023. They have not disclosed a due date for the newest addition. Rocky also appeared to hint at the baby’s sex in Brussels in June, at the world premiere of Smurfs, when Entertainment Tonight asked whether their child is “the girl you’ve been waiting for.” “It is, man, it is,” he replied, before playfully showing a Smurfette doll and adding, “Right here, you know what I’m saying? Right here.”

In the same profile, Rocky spoke about the evolution of his life as a father and as an artist. “I think the evolution of who I am as a person, as an individual, as a dad, an artist, as far as being a parent at that time,” he said, calling parenthood “quite fucking interesting” to observe in real time. “So, I got nothing but love to give to these little ones. And as you can see, that’s what occupies a lot of my heart capacity, is my family.”

Rocky’s comments come as Rihanna and Rocky navigate public interest in their growing family, while continuing to maintain a level of privacy around exact due dates. The couple has not publicly disclosed when the newest member is due, and they have kept many details of their personal lives out of the spotlight.
