Global pop icon Robyn Rihanna Fenty (Rihanna) and rapper Rakim Athelston Mayers (A$AP Rocky) have expanded their family: the couple announced the arrival of their third child, a daughter named Rocki Irish Mayers, who was born on September 13, 2025.

Rihanna shared the first family photo on Instagram on September 24, 2025, posting a sweet image of the newborn wearing pink and revealing the baby’s name. Rocki joins big siblings RZA Athelston Mayers (born 2022) and Riot Rose (born 2023), continuing the couple’s playful tradition of names starting with the letter “R.”

Keeping the gender a surprise

In an ELLE interview published in October 2025, A$AP Rocky confirmed that—like their earlier two children—the couple chose not to learn the baby’s sex before birth. “I’m hoping it’s a girl,” he said, recalling that each pregnancy felt a little different in how they approached the reveal.

How the world found out

Rihanna first announced her pregnancy in dramatic, glamorous style on the Met Gala red carpet on May 5, 2025. She wore a sculpted gown and black hat that showcased her baby bump, and spoke about enjoying the freedom to share the news publicly.

Earlier that month, A$AP Rocky told Late Night with Seth Meyers that their future child would likely continue the family’s “R” name pattern. Now with Rocki’s arrival, the siblings’ names—RZA, Riot, and Rocki—form a sweet familial streak.

From collaborators to family

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s relationship traces back years: they first worked closely in 2013 when Rocky remixed Rihanna’s track “Cockiness (Love It)” and joined her on the Diamonds World Tour. Their personal relationship became public around 2020, after Rihanna launched her Fenty Skin line and the pair were seen together more frequently. By late 2020, photos of their Barbados vacation helped confirm what fans had suspected—Rihanna and Rocky were a romantic pair.

In 2021, Rocky called Rihanna “the love of my life” in GQ, and since then the couple has been steadily building a private, family-first life while also continuing high-profile creative work.

Quick family timeline

  • RZA Athelston Mayers — born 2022
  • Riot Rose — born 2023
  • Rocki Irish Mayers — born Sept 13, 2025

As of this announcement, the family’s naming tradition stands out as a warm, quirky detail fans adore—each child’s name begins with “R,” and now the trio completes that pattern.
