Pop superstar Rihanna has officially welcomed her third child, announcing the birth of her Rihanna baby girl named Rocki Irish Mayers with rapper A$AP Rocky. The 37-year-old music icon and beauty mogul shared the exciting news on Wednesday, September 25, 2025, revealing that their daughter was born on September 13, 2025.
The announcement came through a heartwarming social media post featuring Rihanna holding her newborn daughter, with everything in the photo shoot covered in pink to celebrate the new addition to their family. A second image shared by the singer showed two small pink boxing gloves adorned with long pink ribbons, adding a playful touch to the birth announcement.
Growing Family Dynamic
Rocki Irish Mayers joins her two older brothers in what has become a bustling household for the celebrity couple. The family welcomed their first son, RZA, in May 2022, followed by their second son, Riot Rose, in September 2023. The timing of Rocki’s birth continues a pattern of September arrivals for the family, with Riot Rose also being born in the same month two years prior.
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, have maintained a relatively private approach to their family life since confirming their romantic relationship in 2020. The couple has been selective about sharing glimpses of their children on social media, making each announcement and photo particularly special for their millions of fans worldwide.
The power couple first revealed they were expecting their third child during the Met Gala in May 2025, where A$AP Rocky served as co-chair. Speaking to reporters at the prestigious fashion event, the rapper expressed his excitement about expanding their family, stating, “It feels amazing, you know. And I’m glad everybody’s happy for us ’cause we definitely happy, you know.”
Relationship Journey and Future Plans
The birth of Rocki represents another milestone in what has been a well-documented love story between two of music’s biggest stars. A$AP Rocky has been vocal about his feelings for Rihanna, telling GQ in 2021 that being in a relationship with her was “so much better” and describing her as “the One.” He elaborated on their connection, saying, “She amounts to probably, like, a million of the other ones. I think when you know, you know. She’s the One.”
Rihanna has equally expressed her appreciation for their partnership, particularly in the context of parenthood. In a 2024 interview with Interview magazine, she reflected on the significance of their relationship, explaining, “When someone sees you completely, and believes in you, and thinks you’re worthy of being the mother of their kids, it’s a great feeling. I felt the same about him. I knew he would be a great dad.”
The timing of Rocki’s arrival aligns with Rihanna’s previous comments about family planning. During a 2020 interview with British Vogue, before her relationship with A$AP Rocky was confirmed, she had envisioned having three to four children. She had even expressed willingness to raise children independently if necessary, though she emphasized that love and happiness were the most important factors in child-rearing.
As the couple continues to balance their high-profile careers with their growing family, fans are celebrating this latest addition to the Mayers household. Both artists have shown their commitment to maintaining their children’s privacy while occasionally sharing special moments with their global audience, creating a balance between their public personas and private family life.
