Rihanna debuts baby bump ahead of 2025 Met Gala as she reveals she’s expecting THIRD child with A$AP Rocky | HO

Rihanna is expecting her third baby with partner A$AP Rocky, as photos and videos from the 2025 Met Gala showed the pop star cradling a baby bump.

In a video posted on X/Twitter, the 37-year-old ‘Diamonds’ singer was seen arriving at The Carlyle Hotel in New York City before the annual fashion extravaganza.

The clip showed Rihanna wearing a light turquoise Miu Miu long sleeve shirt and matching knee-length skirt.

In true Rihanna fashion, the Fenty Beauty founder also had her midriff on full display, showing off her growing baby bump.

The ‘Umbrella’ singer is already a proud mother to two sons – RZA, two, and Riot, one – whom she shares with boyfriend A$AP Rocky.

The rapper, 36, was named as co-chair for this year’s Met Gala, along with Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, Pharrell Williams, and Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.

The theme for the 2025 Met Gala is ‘Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.’ It explores Black dandyism from the 18th century to its revival during the Harlem Renaissance and its impact on fashion today.

Rihanna, who is notorious for arriving late to Met Gala red carpets, appeared hours away from making her ‘blue’ carpet debut at the Met Museum, as she headed into the hotel to get ready, rather than towards the museum steps.

The singer’s pregnancy news comes after she suggested she wanted a third child

In 2023, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky didn’t depart the Carlyle Hotel until 10pm for the Met Gala red carpet, arriving after Vogue’s livestream of the event had already ended.

DailyMail.com has reached out to Rihanna’s reps for comment.

The singer’s pregnancy news comes after she suggested she wanted a third child in December 2023 while speaking to E! News.

When asked if there’s anything she is not capable of achieving, Rihanna said: ‘So far, have daughters. I’m batting at 75 percent for a boy next time. So, we’ll just keep our fingers crossed.’
