Rihanna confirmed she’s expecting her third child by debuting her baby bump around the 2025 Met Gala, turning fashion’s biggest night into a personal announcement that quickly dominated coverage of the event.
The singer and Fenty founder arrived late in the evening in a tuxedo-inspired Marc Jacobs look, while partner A$AP Rocky—one of the gala’s co-chairs—spoke to reporters on the carpet and confirmed the news.
How Rihanna’s baby news broke at the Met Gala
Reports noted that Rihanna’s photographer, Miles Diggs, posted an image of her in the rain before she hit the carpet, effectively tipping the reveal ahead of her Met Gala entrance.
When she arrived at the Metropolitan Museum of Art for the Costume Institute benefit, the bump confirmation became unavoidable, and Rocky acknowledged it publicly while greeting the press.
