Rihanna revealed she’s expecting her third baby with A$AP Rocky at the 2025 Met Gala on Monday (May 5).

While she’s yet to hit the blue carpet at New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, photographer Miles Diggs shared the good news on his Instagram with the caption “Chance of Showers,” as the “Umbrella” hitmaker hit the streets with her umbrella and her baby bump popping out of her baby blue ensemble.


Rihanna and Rocky share two sons together, RZA Athelston Mayers, who turns three years old this month, and 1-year-old Riot Rose Mayers.

Her partner A$AP Rocky is serving as one of the co-chairs of this year’s Met Gala, alongside Pharrell Williams, Colman Domingo and Lewis Hamilton, while LeBron (James served as honorary chair. James announced on X he had to cancel his appearance due to a knee injury he sustained at the end of the season.)

This year’s Met Gala celebrated the theme of “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” inspired by Monica L. Miller’s 2009 book Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity. “This is probably one of my favorite themes of all of them,” Rihanna previously told Access Hollywood. “I’ve had tons of incredible themes with the Met Ball that I’ve enjoyed, but this one it just made me respect it so much more…. It’s a celebration of culture. It’s also a celebration of history. It’s just bringing it to the forefront on a platform where we’ve been kind of hidden and it’s just accepting it.”

Ed Sheeran Addresses Controversy at First Show Since Openers, Backing Band Dropped Off Tour, Calls It ‘The Best Show of My Life’

Before his show in Philadelphia, Sheeran read a statement acknowledging the issue of Israel and Palestine, but still tried to keep things neutral.

Ed Sheeran needed to address the situation before he could start playing guitar. It wasn’t how he wanted to start his show, and he’s made it abundantly clear that the last thing he wants around him is controversy or, in his words, to be an “activist musician.”

But here he was, at the first show after his opener and friend Macklemore was kicked off the tour, following pressure by a group of venue owners led by Robert Kraft who took issue with Macklemore’s statement of support toward Palestine. That led to the rest of the tour’s openers and even Sheeran’s backing band for the tour dropping off the tour in solidarity with Macklemore — all of which became a huge news story and PR nightmare for the usually very un-controversial Sheeran. And though he had already made one highly scrutinized statement online while the news story was at its most potent, Sheeran felt the need to address the crowd at Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field on Saturday night (Sept. 19) in person, before the show really started.
