Rihanna and A$AP Rocky Welcome Baby No. 3, Daughter Rocki Irish Mayers


Rihanna has officially become a mother of three. On September 13, the Grammy-winning artist and entrepreneur welcomed her third child—a baby girl named Rocki Irish Mayers—with longtime partner and rapper A$AP Rocky. The couple confirmed the news via Instagram, where Rihanna shared a heartwarming image of herself holding her newborn daughter wrapped in a soft pink blanket, accompanied by a symbolic photo of pink boxing gloves tied with satin ribbons. The caption simply read: “Rocki Irish Mayers, Sept 13 2025.”

Rocki’s arrival completes what fans have been calling Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s “perfect family of five,” joining her older brothers—RZA, age 3, and Riot, age 2. The couple has been open about their joy at expanding their family. Back in July, during the premiere of The Smurfs Movie, in which Rihanna voiced the character of Smurfette, she revealed that both boys were thrilled about the idea of a new sibling. She also shared her own hopes, admitting she “always wanted a girl” but felt grateful either way, saying, “God knows best, right? And I love my boys.”

A$AP Rocky shared his own excitement in a statement to the Associated Press, saying, “It feels amazing. We were tired of holding that in, and now everyone can share in our joy. We’re definitely happy.”

For Rihanna, motherhood has been life-changing. Over the years, she’s reflected on how becoming a parent shaped her style, her confidence, and even her approach to creativity. She’s proudly embraced her role as a “boy mom,” telling E! News last year that it made her feel “really cool.” But now, with the arrival of her daughter, fans are eager to see how her journey as a mother evolves even further.

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s relationship has only grown stronger with time and parenthood. “We’re best friends with a baby,” Rihanna famously told British Vogue in 2023. “Everything changes when you have a baby, but I wouldn’t say it’s done anything but made us closer.”

With Rocki Irish Mayers now part of the family, Rihanna’s world just became a little more pink—and the world is celebrating with her.
