Rihanna confirmed the pregnancy rumours at the Met Gala last night (5 May) as she showed off her baby bump on the blue carpet, but it seems her partner A$AP Rocky also had a thing or two to say about it all.
The ‘Stay’ singer and rapper attended the star-studded Met Gala, though the pair were not seen together on the red – or blue, should we say – carpet.
Rumours were swirling over a third pregnancy for the celebrity couple, though both stayed quiet amid the whispers.
However, in fitting with this year’s theme ‘Superfine: Tailoring Black Style’, which was celebrating menswear for the first time in over 20 years, Rihanna couldn’t particularly hide the bump any longer.
Having sported baggy clothes in recent weeks, the 37-year-old proudly displayed her baby bump in front of the cameras on the carpet.
She could be seen cradling her stomach as paparazzi snapped away, with the ‘Umbrella’ star wearing an all-black suit accompanied with a large black hat.

After his partner proudly placed her hands on her belly for the press, A$AP Rocky, real name Rakim Mayers, was asked about her outfit.
Speaking to CBS Mornings, the ‘Sundress’ rapper said: “Rihanna’s outfit tonight is…I don’t know, whatever, just don’t really cover her baby hump, ya dig?”
The answer provoked a reaction from the interviewer and others around him, as Rocky could be seen smiling and chuckling as he walked away.
Rihanna and Rocky already have two children together, son RZA Athelston Mayers, born in May 2022, and son Riot Rose Mayers, born in August 2023.
This isn’t the first public event that Rihanna has unveiled a pregnancy at though, having revealed her second pregnancy during her Super Bowl performance in 2023.
It made her the first ever halftime headliner to perform while pregnant at the event.
As for the outfits that the couple wore, Rihanna’s look was by iconic fashion designer Marc Jacobs, with her cropped black jacket and grey bustier going into a black floor-length skirt.
Her large black hat was accompanied by a polka-dot scarf and a pair of black and white heeled shoes.

Rocky on the other hand was one of the co-hosts of this year’s Met Gala and was sporting a tailored black suit which he designed on his own.
The stylish fit was complete with an umbrella.
What was this year’s Met Gala theme and what does it mean?
This years theme was Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, looking to explore how clothing and style shaped Black identities.
As usual, Anna Wintour, the boss of Condé Nast, picked it out, with the event focusing on menswear in a rare move for the Met Gala.
2025’s theme was inspired by the 2009 book, Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity by Monica L Miller.
