Pop icon and business mogul Rihanna has welcomed her third child, a baby girl named Rocki Irish Mayers, with her partner, rapper A$AP Rocky. The couple announced the joyful news on Instagram, revealing their daughter was born on September 13th.
The announcement post, which featured a tender photo of Rihanna cradling her newborn alongside a pair of tiny pink boxing gloves, was instantly met with an outpouring of love from fans, amassing millions of likes within hours.
The newborn’s name continues the couple’s tradition of unique and meaningful monikers, paying homage to her father’s stage name. Rocki joins her two older brothers, RZA, two, and Riot Rose, one. The family officially expanded after Rihanna stunningly revealed her pregnancy on the Met Gala red carpet in May, telling reporters, “It is time to just show the people what we were cooking up.”
The birth of Rocki marks a significant milestone in a monumental year for the Barbadian superstar. Just weeks ago, she celebrated the 20th anniversary of her debut album, Music of the Sun, a reminder of the musical career that launched her into global fame. While fans continue to eagerly await a follow-up to 2016’s ANTI, Rihanna has since built a billion-dollar empire with her Fenty Beauty and Savage X Fenty brands.
The happy news also follows a period of personal challenge for the couple. Last February, A$AP Rocky was found not guilty in a high-profile trial where Rihanna was a constant supportive presence, even bringing their sons to court. The arrival of baby Rocki signals a bright new chapter for the family, solidifying their status as one of music’s most-watched power couples.
