Met Gala 2025: Rihanna confirms pregnancy as she debuts baby bump on red carpet - how many children does she have with A$AP Rocky?
Singer Rihanna has debuted a new baby bump at the Met Gala red carpet, confirming rumours that she is pregnant with her third child.
The star, 37, walked the red carpet as part of the annual A-list event on Monday, May 5 in New York City. She posed in her Marc Jacobs suit-inspired gown, cradling her growing bump while posing for the cameras.
Her partner, rapper A$AP Rocky, was co-chair of this year’s Met Gala, alongside actor Colman Domingo, F1 driver Lewis Hamilton and music mogul Pharrell Williams. This year’s Met Gala theme was ‘Superfine: Tailoring Black Style’, with the all-male co-chair team leading the first gala to focus exclusively on menswear since 2003.
Speaking about welcoming another child, A$AP Rocky told reporters: "It is time to just show the people what we were cooking up.”
He thanked supporters for their well-wishes, adding: "I'm glad everybody's happy for us because we're definitely happy.”
Eagle-eyed fans would have spotted Rihanna’s baby bump as she made her way into New York City to get ready for the big event. A photograph of the singer was shared on instagram by her photographer Miles Diggs, showing her walking through New York traffic holding an umbrella while her baby bump was proudly on display.

This is major, major .. it's a turn on. It's just like, wow. What a leader, what a great, patient loving ... and my kids are obsessed with him."
In April 2024, the singer also hinted towards growing the family even more, telling Interview Magazine that she was to have “as many as God wants me to have”. She said: "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.”
