Rihanna has announced her third pregnancy in the most Rihanna way.

Rihanna has confirmed her third pregnancy after being photographed on the red carpet (or should we say, blue?) at the 2025 Met Gala.

The singer and fashion icon was first spotted outside The Carlyle Hotel in a chic two-piece grey ensemble, displaying her baby bump before fashion's night of nights.

Her photographer then shared photos of the 37-year-old with her midsection on display.

"Chance of showers," he captioned the Instagram post.

Meanwhile, the official carpet continued with multiple stars walking the runway… except Rihanna.

It was around an hour after the carpet officially closed that she finally arrived, sporting her baby bump with a pinstriple low-waist skirt and cropped blazer.

Rihanna's partner, rapper A$AP Rocky, was co-chairing this year's event, which is themed "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style".

In an interview with Associated Press, Rocky appeared to confirm their happy news.

"It's time to show the people that we was cooking up. I'm glad everybody's happy for us because we're definitely happy, you know," he said.

The stylish pair share two sons together. Their first child, RZA Athelston Mayers, was born in May 2022, and is named after Wu-Tang Clan leader, RZA. Their second son, Riot Rose Mayers, was born in August 2023.

Rihanna's previous pregnancy announcements.

Rihanna's pregnancy announcements have been nothing short of iconic.

She revealed her first pregnancy in January 2022, via a chic photo shoot in New York City. She was seen strolling with A$AP Rocky, her baby bump on full display.

She made headlines again when she unveiled her second pregnancy during the 2023 Super Bowl halftime show.

She later said the reveal wasn't initially planned; her outfit didn't fit properly, leading her to embrace the moment and share the news with the world.

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have been in a committed relationship since 2020. While there have been speculations about their marital status, the couple has not officially confirmed whether they are married.

In June 2023, A$AP Rocky referred to Rihanna as his "wife" during a performance, adding further fuel to wedding rumours.

As Rihanna continues to balance her roles as a global superstar, fashion mogul, and devoted mother, fans eagerly await more updates on her growing family. Her recent Met Gala appearance not only showcased her impeccable style but also highlighted her journey into motherhood once again.

Earlier this year, Rocky was found not guilty of shooting former friend Terell Ephron, in November 2021. As the verdict was read, he plunged into Rihanna's arms. He later thanked the 12-person jury, stating: "Thank y'all for saving my life."
