- Why it matters: The ultra-private couple balances global fame with parenthood
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have transformed from music’s most-watched couple to parents of three, all while keeping their family life largely out of the spotlight. The couple, who confirmed their relationship in November 2020, have built their family at lightning speed while maintaining their status as two of entertainment’s biggest stars.
The Growing Family
The couple’s journey into parenthood began with the birth of their first son RZA on May 17, 2022. Just over a year later, they welcomed their second son Riot on August 1, 2023. Their family became complete with the arrival of their first daughter Rocki Irish on September 13, 2025.
While many celebrity parents share every milestone on social media, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have taken a markedly different approach. They’ve shared only one photo of baby Rocki Irish since her birth, choosing instead to give selective glimpses into their children’s lives through carefully curated posts.
Life in the Spotlight
Despite their private nature, the couple couldn’t resist sharing some special moments with their fans. Their sons made their modeling debut in October 2024 when they appeared in a Savage x Fenty holiday campaign. Behind-the-scenes footage showed Rihanna trying to wrangle her boys for the photos, giving fans a rare look at her life as a working mom.
Rihanna’s sense of humor about motherhood shines through her social media posts. When sharing a video of RZA escaping his crib, she captioned it: “Being a boy mom is an Olympic sport 🤦🏾♀️💙🤷🏿♀️.”
Family Milestones
The family’s vacation to Barbados in early 2025 provided some of their most cherished photos. Rihanna shared images from the trip in November 2025 to celebrate her home country’s 59th year of independence. One intimate photo showed RZA sitting on his father’s stomach while a pregnant Rihanna cradled her baby bump.
Religious holidays have also provided opportunities for the couple to share their joy. For Easter 2023, Rihanna posted photos of RZA with real-life bunnies, captioned “Look at heeeeee!!!!” The following month, they celebrated RZA’s first birthday with a carousel of never-before-seen family photos on A$AP Rocky’s Instagram account.
A$AP Rocky’s New Chapter
The release of A$AP Rocky’s album “Don’t Be Dumb” on January 16, 2026 marks his first musical project in eight years. The timing coincides with his role as a father of three, adding new depth to his creative output.
For Father’s Day 2025, A$AP Rocky shared a series of photos celebrating fatherhood, including one where he cradled RZA while kissing Rihanna’s pregnant belly – a nod to the daughter they were expecting.
Keeping It Real
Even with their massive fame, the couple has found ways to make ordinary moments special. In August 2024, they shared a video of baby Riot promoting Fenty Beauty’s latest products at Target, showing that even shopping trips can become family affairs.
Rihanna has also used her platform to share the realities of parenting. A TikTok video posted six months after RZA’s birth gave followers their first glimpse of the baby on the platform, simply captioned “Hacked.”
Balancing Act
The couple manages to balance their high-profile careers with hands-on parenting. Rihanna’s work with Fenty Beauty and Savage x Fenty often incorporates family time, as seen when her sons joined her for the holiday campaign shoot.
Their approach to sharing their children with the world reflects a thoughtful balance. While they occasionally post photos, they maintain control over what the public sees, ensuring their children can have as normal a childhood as possible given their parents’ fame.
Looking Forward
As their family of five settles into their new normal, fans can expect the couple to continue their selective sharing approach. With A$AP Rocky’s new album release and Rihanna’s ongoing business ventures, the couple shows no signs of slowing down professionally while prioritizing their role as parents.
Their journey from music icons to parents of three in just five years demonstrates their ability to evolve together while maintaining the privacy they value for their growing family.
