Rihanna welcomed her first child, a baby boy, with her 34-year-old partner A$AP Rocky eight months ago.
Turns out being a mother – who is also 34 – really suits the Umbrella singer, a source told People magazine. ‘Rihanna loves being a mom. She is obsessed with her baby boy,’ shared the insider.
Last month, the Fenty Beauty founder shared a TikTok video showing off her then-seven-month-old son for the first time.

The insider also said Rocky is ‘very involved as well and a great dad.’
In early 2020, rumors started circulating that the pair were dating although they have collaborated multiple times in the years leading up.

Rocky previously opened for the U.S. leg of Rihanna’s Diamonds World Tour in 2013.
Rihanna also starred in his Fashion Killa music video in the same year.
By November 2020, an insider revealed to People that the longtime friends had officially become an item.
In an interview with GQ in 2021, Rocky talked about being a father one day after calling Rihanna ‘the love of [his] life’ and ‘the one’.
‘If that’s in my destiny, absolutely,’ he said about becoming a father. ‘Nah, but like, I think I’d be an incredible, remarkably, overall amazing dad.’

‘I would have a very fly child. Very,’ he continued.
Around this time last year, DailyMail.com exclusively confirmed that the couple were expecting after Rihanna stepped out in a pink Chanel coat baring her baby bump.
Months after they welcomed their son, Rihanna talked about her life as a new mom and her huge upcoming projects in a Vogue interview at the end of last year.
Her favorite: When asked about her favorite part of motherhood, she responded, ‘His smile. He is the happiest baby’
‘[There’s] not much balance,’ she said. ‘But everything is stimulating. Everything right now is firing off. I’m excited.
‘It’s getting me super motivated, super energized to do new things, to create,’ she continued. ‘And I’m back in the studio and now we’re going to be back on stage for the Super Bowl. Which is just crazy that I even agreed to that, but I am, and I’m excited.’
She added: ‘Of course being a new mom is insane. It is lovely. It is epic, honestly.’
When asked about her favorite part of motherhood, she responded: ‘His smile. He is the happiest baby. No matter what you’re doing or what you’re feeling – when he smiles at you, everything else just goes away. It’s the best.’
