Rihanna Reveals Her Ultimate Obsession—And It’s Exactly What You Came For

Rihanna‘s family makes her shine bright like a diamond. 

In fact, the Grammy winner—who shares sons RZA Athelston Mayers, 23 months, and Riot Rose Mayers, 8 months, with rapper A$AP Rocky—had her squad on the brain during a recent outing in London.

"My favorite obsession?" she told a reporter at a Fenty x Puma red carpet event April 17. "My kids."

Rihanna—who also professed her love for Real Housewives during the interview—and A$AP have been thriving since becoming parents in May 2022, when their first child RZA was born. And the family was once again lifted up when baby Riot arrived in August 2023.

And the happy couple isn't ready to stop growing her team any time soon. As Rihanna previously shared, she's hoping to welcome a daughter to the family at some point. 

"I'm batting at 75 percent for a boy next time," she explained to E! News' Justin Sylvester in December. "So, we'll just keep our fingers crossed."

And A$AP, real name Rakim Mayers, doesn't seem opposed to having another baby either. 

"I think we do a real great job at collaborating and making children," he said during a November interview with Complex. "I think that's our best creation so far. Nothing is better than that out there, any design."

His sentiments echo his previous comments to the outlet. "I'm always down to collab with my partner," he said in June 2023. "She's a phenomenal creative."

"Yeah, there's a lot of things we're going to collaborate on," the 35-year-old added, "from products for children, there's a lot of things to look forward to."

In 2012, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky performed their hit "Cockiness" at the MTV Video Music Awards, and their number was so good it deserved a trophy. This wouldn't be the last time the two shared the stage as they went on tour together in 2013.

Fans had this song on replay after Rihanna and A$AP Rocky released the music video for "Fashion Killa" in 2013.

As the years went on, they remained friends. In 2018, they attended the Louis Vuitton Menswear Spring/Summer 2019 show as part of Paris Fashion Week and, of course, they totally slayed.

They also attended The Fashion Awards in 2019, with Rihanna dazzling in a mint Fenty dress and A$AP Rocky looking sharp in a black suit.

Met Gala official! Rihanna and A$AP Rocky attended the 2021 Met Gala together in style, with the "Umbrella" singer wearing a black Balenciaga gown and the "A$AP Forever" artist donning a custom ERL quilt and a tuxedo.

After announcing they were expecting their first baby, Rihanna recalled keeping her pregnancy a secret from her friends. "It was harder for me to keep it from my posse, because they're around me, they know my habits," she told E!'s Justin Sylvester. "They're like, 'You don't want something to drink? You're not smoking?' And I'm eating all the things I'm not used to eating. They know I hate sweets and I'm all of a sudden asking for cookies and donuts. But finally, I just had to let it all out, and they were all shocked, of course, as the world was shocked as well."

SOS! These photos are so sweet! As Rihanna and A$AP prepared for their bundle of joy, she continued to show her incredible pregnancy style.

While fans wondered if A$AP Rocky had proposed to Rihanna after seeing them sport the words "Marry me?" and "I do" across their teeth in his "D.M.B." video, sources close to the couple told TMZ in May 2022 the two aren't engaged.

And baby makes three! Multiple outlets report that the couple welcomed a baby in Los Angeles.

She debuted her second pregnancy during the 2023 Super Bowl halftime show.

Rihanna accompanied A$AP Rocky during his performance at a Spotify party in Cannes, France.

The couple welcomed their second child, son Riot. One month later, they shared their first photos as a family of four in a rare photoshoot. 

Rihanna confirmed her romance with A$AP began at the end of 2019. 

"I've seen him in relationships. He's seen me in relationships," she explained of their long history. "We knew what we're capable of, and the trouble that we could bring to each other's lives. We can make or break each other's hearts. And so, we started dating with a lot of caution."
