Rihanna’s Delivery Room Vision
Rihanna, known for her bold maternity style and high-profile pregnancy reveals, offered a glimpse into her delivery room plans during a May 2025 interview with Harper’s Bazaar at a Savage x Fenty event. Reflecting on her past births, she described her delivery room for RZA and Riot as “a sanctuary” filled with personal touches like music and jewelry. For her third child, Rihanna hinted at elevating this experience, saying, “I want it to feel like a Fenty set—vibes, comfort, and a little glam.” She teased a setup with dim lighting, a curated playlist of reggae and hip-hop, and a “Fenty Beauty station” for post-birth touch-ups, ensuring she feels empowered even in labor.
The singer’s previous delivery room moments, shared on Instagram for International Women’s Day 2024, provide clues. Photos showed Rihanna with RZA and Riot on her chest, adorned with gold necklaces and pearls for RZA’s birth and pink sunglasses for Riot’s, as reported by Hello!. Fans on X praised her for redefining delivery room aesthetics, with one post reading, “Rihanna turning her delivery room into a photoshoot? Iconic.” For baby number three, insiders told People that Rihanna is working with a designer to incorporate Savage x Fenty fabrics and AWGE-inspired decor, creating a “cozy yet luxurious” space.
Rihanna’s approach reflects her philosophy of embracing motherhood on her terms. She told Vogue in 2022, “I’m not going to let [pregnancy] disappear because my body is changing,” a mindset evident in her Met Gala look—a pinstripe Marc Jacobs suit that showcased her bump. A$AP Rocky, who attended the birth of both sons, is expected to be by her side again, with a source noting to Us Weekly that he’s “hands-on” during deliveries, ensuring Rihanna’s comfort.
The Affair Rumor Resurgence
Amid the excitement, rumors of an affair involving A$AP Rocky have resurfaced, stirring controversy. The speculation appears to be a revival of a 2022 rumor falsely claiming Rocky cheated on Rihanna with shoe designer Amina Muaddi, who collaborated on Fenty’s 2020 collection. Muaddi debunked the claim on Instagram, calling it “fake gossip” with “malicious intent,” and no evidence supported the allegation. Recent posts on X have reignited the narrative, with some users speculating about “trouble in paradise” based on Rocky’s solo appearances at Met Gala after-parties, like Pharrell Williams’ Uno tournament, as reported by E! Online.
However, there’s no credible evidence of a 2025 affair. Rihanna and Rocky’s relationship has only strengthened, particularly after Rocky’s acquittal in a February 2025 firearms trial, where Rihanna supported him in court with their sons. A source told People, “They feel very blessed,” noting that the trial was a “dark cloud” they’ve moved past. Rihanna echoed this in a 2023 Page Six interview, saying she loves Rocky “differently as a dad,” describing him as a “patient, loving” father. Their public displays of affection, like a Santa Monica date night in 2023, and Rocky’s comments to W Magazine in 2024 calling Rihanna his “perfect person,” further debunk the rumors.
The affair speculation seems fueled by misinterpretations of their busy schedules. Rocky’s role as a Met Gala co-chair and his work on the upcoming film Highest 2 Lowest with Spike Lee have kept him in the spotlight, while Rihanna balances Fenty projects and her anticipated R9 album. Fans on X have dismissed the rumors, with one post stating, “Rihanna and Rocky are solid—y’all just bored and recycling old tea.” The couple’s focus on family, including plans to have their kids “close in age to bond,” as per a People source, suggests stability.
A Power Couple’s Journey
Rihanna and Rocky’s third pregnancy is a testament to their resilience. The couple, who began dating in 2019 after years of friendship, have navigated public scrutiny, including Rocky’s trial and past rumors, with grace. Their Met Gala announcement, where Rihanna’s bump stole the show, was a cultural moment, aligning with the “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” theme. Rocky told the Associated Press, “It’s time that we show the people what we was cooking up,” expressing joy at the public’s support.
Their naming tradition—‘R’ names like RZA, Riot, and their own (Robyn and Rakim)—will continue, with Rocky confirming on Late Night with Seth Meyers that the third child’s name is a “lock” for an ‘R’. Fans speculate names like “Reign” or “Rhapsody,” while Ciara, who reconciled with Rihanna at the Met Gala, told Sherri the couple is already discussing a fourth child.
What’s Next?
As November 2025 nears, Rihanna is preparing for a delivery room that reflects her Fenty flair, complete with music and style. The affair rumors, lacking substance, are overshadowed by the couple’s unity and excitement for their growing family. Rihanna’s influence extends beyond motherhood, with her ninth album and potential Savage x Fenty maternity line in the works, as hinted by WWD. Rocky’s creative projects, including his Ray-Ban directorship, keep their partnership dynamic.
Fans on X are hyped, with one post declaring, “Rihanna’s delivery room gonna be a vibe, and those affair rumors? Dead on arrival.” With their third child set to arrive in a space as bold as they are, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky continue to redefine love, family, and fame.
