Award-winning singer Rihanna has opened up about her experiences raising her two sons, Riot and RZA, with partner ASAP Rocky, expressing both excitement and the unique challenges that come with motherhood. In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, she shared that there’s never a dull moment in her household filled with “boy energy.”
“I want to have a girl, but I won’t know what to do because I only know about boys so far, but it’d be an adventure,” Rihanna admitted, highlighting her desire for a daughter amidst the lively chaos of her current family dynamic. She described the joy of having young boys, saying, “The boy energy in my house is the best. It’s never a dull moment, and I love when they climb onto chandeliers. They are literally so scary that I’m forced to have fun. Them running around and me lifting them up is all fun and exercise. It works out for ASAP, me, and our kids.”
Rihanna and ASAP Rocky welcomed their first son, RZA Athelson, on May 13, 2022. In February 2023, during her show-stopping performance at the Super Bowl halftime show, Rihanna announced her second pregnancy in a spectacular manner, rubbing her stomach and unzipping her outfit to reveal her growing belly while wearing a form-fitting red jumpsuit. This announcement took the world by storm, igniting a frenzy on the internet.
The couple welcomed their second child, Riot Rose, in August 2023 at Cedar Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles. They continued the tradition of naming their children with the letter “R,” showcasing their unique bond as a family. Rihanna’s candid reflections on motherhood reveal the joyful chaos and love that define her life with her two sons.
