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.”

Here’s Why ‘Shake It to the Max’ Was Deemed Ineligible at the 2026 Grammys — And Why Its Label Calls the Decision ‘Devoid of Any Common Sense’

Representatives from the Recording Academy and gamma. CEO Larry Jackson comment on one of this year's most shocking Grammy snubs.

Few phrases define the year in music and culture like Moliy’s scintillating directive to “shake it to the max.” The Ghanaian singer’s sultry voice reverberated across the globe, blending her own Afropop inclinations with Jamaican dancehall-informed production, courtesy of Miami-based duo Silent Addy and Disco Neil. Originally released in December 2024, Moliy’s breakthrough global crossover hit ascended to world domination, peaking at No. 6 on the Global 200, thanks to a remix featuring dancehall superstars Shenseea and Skillibeng. Simply put, “Max” soundtracked a seismic moment in African and Caribbean music in 2025.

Given its blockbuster success, “Shake It to the Max” was widely expected to be a frontrunner in several categories at the 2026 Grammys. In fact, had the song earned a nomination for either best African music performance or best global music performance, many forecasters anticipated a victory. So, when “Shake It to the Max” failed to appear on the final list of 2026 Grammy nominees in any category earlier this month (Nov. 7), listeners across the world were left scratching their heads — none more than gamma. CEO Larry Jackson.
