From the start, Grandma Cathy made it clear she’s always believed Rocky was destined for greatness. But what truly warms her heart is who he’s chosen to share his life with. “I’m glad that he settled down, and I’m happy with who he settled down with,” Cathy gushed, adding, “[Rihanna’s] a down-to-earth person.” According to Rocky, his grandma “loves her some RiRi,” and it seems the feeling is mutual.

But Cathy didn’t stop at simple approval. She boldly confessed that she believes Rihanna has changed Rocky’s life for the better, grounding him and helping him grow into the man—and father—he is today. “She’s the best thing that ever happened to him,” Cathy said, noting that Rihanna’s influence is “obvious” in Rocky’s demeanor and priorities.

A Family in the Spotlight—And Growing

Pregnant Rihanna bares baby bump in new Louis Vuitton campaign

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky first sparked romance rumors in early 2020. Since then, their family has quickly grown, with the arrival of their first son, RZA, in 2022, followed by baby Riot Rose just 15 months later. Now, speculation is swirling that the couple could be expecting their third child.

The rumors gained traction after Rihanna was recently spotted at Rolling Loud California, cheering Rocky on in a navy blue lace skirt and matching oversized jacket—a look many fans believe was chosen to conceal a baby bump. While neither Rihanna nor Rocky has officially confirmed the pregnancy, the singer’s recent outfits and social media posts have only fueled the speculation.

Adding to the buzz, Rihanna was seen dancing and glowing during a vacation in her native Barbados. Despite attending a Fenty X Puma party on the island, she has yet to address the pregnancy rumors directly. However, fans across the globe are convinced another baby is on the way, especially after Rihanna’s own words last year: “I don’t know what God wants, but I would go for more than two. I would try for my girl. But of course if it’s another boy, it’s another boy.”

Rocky and Rihanna: The Perfect Match?

In his Vogue interview, Rocky described his love for Rihanna as “internal, external, infinite, the past, the future.” He also shared a glimpse into their family life, revealing that their older son prefers books and quiet, while little Riot loves attention and playful mischief.

Rocky has also spoken about the challenges of balancing their busy schedules, calling Rihanna “the perfect person” for him. “When the schedules are hectic, she’s very understanding of that. And when the schedule’s freed up, that’s when you get to spend the most time together. It’s all understanding and compatibility,” he explained.

Fashion, Family, and the Future

As Rocky prepares to co-chair the 2025 Met Gala alongside Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, and Pharrell Williams, he remains a force in both music and fashion. His grandmother, meanwhile, revealed she has a soft spot for Colman Domingo, joking, “I love him.”

Rihanna, for her part, is also teasing her long-awaited new album, promising that it won’t be what anyone expects. “It’s not going to be commercial or radio digestible. It’s going to be where my artistry deserves to be right now. I feel like I’ve finally cracked it, girl!” she told Harper’s BAZAAR.

What’s Next for the Power Couple?

Whether or not the third baby rumors are true, one thing is certain: A$AP Rocky and Rihanna continue to capture the world’s attention with their love, talent, and growing family. And with Grandma Cathy’s bold stamp of approval, it seems the couple has support from every generation.
