Rihanna and A$AP Rocky Welcome Third Child, Rocki Irish Mayers
Pop superstar Rihanna and rapper A$AP Rocky announce the birth of their third child, a daughter named Rocki Irish Mayers.
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have welcomed their third child, a daughter named Rocki Irish Mayers, born Sept. 13, 2025. Rihanna announced the birth on Instagram, posting a photo of herself holding the newborn.
The couple are already parents to two sons, RZA, born in 2022, and Riot, born in 2023. They have been together since 2020, after years of friendship, and have maintained a high-profile partnership as they navigate careers in music, fashion, and film.
Rihanna revealed her pregnancy in May 2025, appearing on the Met Gala red carpet with a baby bump under a deconstructed Marc Jacobs suit. The moment sparked chatter among fans that she could be carrying twins, especially as she later hinted that she had “brought the kids” to the event.
In the months leading up to the birth, Rocky teased the possibility of a girl. During an early interview, an Entertainment Tonight reporter asked whether he was waiting for “the girl [he’s] been waiting for.” Rocky replied, “It is, man. It is.” He also referenced the moment by holding up a Smurfette doll at a Smurfs premiere in a lighthearted exchange that captivated viewers.
The couple have previously discussed keeping work at bay when they are home. Rocky has said they try not to talk too much about work while they’re together, emphasizing that home life centers on family and their relationship rather than the professional sphere.
Rihanna has also spoken about a naming tradition with the couple, noting that names would likely start with the letter R. “It’s always going to be an R name. That’s the one thing me and Rocky don’t fight over,” she joked in prior interviews, underscoring the couple’s penchant for the initial.
The newborn’s name, Rocki Irish Mayers, is described as a tribute to Rihanna’s family, with the name aligning with the couple’s recurring preference for R-start names for their children. This is Rihanna’s first daughter, expanding a family that already includes two sons, and it marks another milestone for a pair who have remained in the public eye as they balance artistry, brand ventures, and parenthood.
