Earlier this week, singer Rihanna revealed she and rapper A$AP Rocky were expecting their third baby together. The “Diamonds” singer announced her news at this year’s Met Gala. Now, the rapper has hinted at the baby name the couple has in mind for their newborn.
During his appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, the rapper was joined by Anna Wintour where the three discussed his baby news. The talk show host asked A$AP Rocky if he and Rihanna would following a naming pattern for their third baby. The couple’s first two children, both boys, are named RZA and Riot Rose. “So your first two kids have ‘R’ names. Obviously you and Rihanna have ‘R’ names,” Seth started, referring to the rapper’s given name Rakim Mayers. “Is this a lock that the third will have an ‘R’ name, do you think?” The rapper confirmed replying, “For sure.”
As for what ‘R’ baby name the couple will choose, it appears the couple hasn’t decided on one just yet. The musicians are notorious for keeping their children’s names under wraps. The name of their first son, RZA, wasn’t shared until just days before he celebrated his first birthday. He was born on May 13, 2022 and his name was shared on May 11, 2023.
The world didn’t have to wait quite as long for the name of the couple’s second baby to be revealed. News that Rihanna gave birth to baby #2 came out in August 2023. The following month, his baby name was revealed to be Riot Rose.
Congratulations again to Rihanna and A$AP Rocky on the news of their pregnancy! We look forward to learning which ‘R’ baby name they choose for their third baby.
