Rihanna and her rapper boyfriend A$AP Rocky have officially become parents. According to TMZ, the singer gave birth to a baby boy on May 13 in Los Angeles. They are said to be at home in Los Angeles with the baby, according to a source close to them.
“Rihanna is doing well. They are very excited to be parents. Rihanna is already a wonderful mom,” said the source.
The source continued, “Rihanna is excited to be a mom and couldn’t be happier. Everything Rihanna does, she does it her own way on her own timetable, and having a baby is no different,” the source said.
The source also added Rihanna and Rocky were over the moon about their baby on the way. “They’re just like any other pair of parents-to-be. Yes, they happen to be famous but they’re just the cutest, giddiest young couple that’s expecting kids.”
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky had announced the pregnancy in January
The couple had announced their pregnancy in January with a series of stunning snow-dusted photos taken in Harlem. In the photographs, the expecting mother was wearing a long pink jacket buttoned only at the top and a long bejeweled necklace over her bare tummy. Since that day, Rihanna has sparked a paparazzi frenzy. She has stunned the fashion industry by flaunting her expanding baby bulge in barely-there maternity ensembles with no limits held.
Sharing her pregnancy experience with PEOPLE, she had said, “it’s fun but also a challenge to play with fashion while pregnant. I like it. I’m enjoying it.” Furthermore, she added, “I’m enjoying not having to worry about covering up my tummy. If I feel a little chubby, it’s like, whatever! It’s a baby!”
Rihanna was recently seen out publicly on Mother’s Day weekend in Los Angeles when she and Rocky went out to dinner at Giorgio Baldi. Rihanna, on the other hand, previously discussed appreciating parenthood in an interview with Elle.
