Rihanna announces she is pregnant with first child to boyfriend A$AP Rocky

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have taken to the snowy streets of New York to reveal she is pregnant with her first child.

Despite freezing temperatures, the 33-year-old Diamonds singer and fashion and beauty mogul opened her coat to show off her bump as the pair walked through Harlem — A$AP Rocky's home neighbourhood. 

A series of photos from their walk was posted on Instagram.

Rihanna spoke of motherhood in 2019 at her fifth Diamond Ball in New York City.

"I'm a black woman. I came from a black woman, who came from a black woman, who came from a black woman, and I'm going to give birth to a black woman.

"It's a no-brainer. That's who I am. It's the core of who I am in spirit and DNA."

After months of dating rumours, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky publicly revealed their romance during the pandemic.

In an interview with GQ magazine in May last year, A$AP called her "my lady" and "the love of my life".

Speaking about the relationship, the PMW rapper spoke of their travels the previous summer in a rented tour bus and how the experience cemented their bond.

Asked what it felt like to be in a relationship, he said: "[It is] so much better when you got the one. She amounts to probably, like, a million of the other ones. I think when you know, you know. She's the one."

He also spoke of having children in the future, telling GQ: "If that's in my destiny, absolutely … I think I'd be an incredible, remarkably, overall amazing dad. I would have a very fly child."

The pair have not disclosed any further details about the pregnancy.
