Rihanna and ASAP Rocky’s love story, which blossomed from friendship to romance, has reached a beautiful milestone. The couple, who first met in 2013 and began dating in 2020, already share two sons. This year, Rihanna surprised fans at the Met Gala, showing off her baby bump and confirming her third pregnancy. Their prayers for a baby girl have now been answered, as the couple welcomed their daughter on September 13, 2025.
Introducing Rocki Irish Mayers
Rihanna took to Instagram to share adorable photos of her newborn, twinning with her baby girl in matching outfits. She revealed the baby’s name as Rocki Irish Mayers, a choice that fans are already celebrating for its beauty and significance.
The name “Rocki” is believed to symbolize strength and endurance, but it also carries a personal connection: it pays homage to the father, ASAP Rocky, whose real name is Rakim Mayers. “Rocky” was his nickname before he adopted his stage name, making this a heartfelt tribute. The middle name, “Irish,” adds a softer, lyrical touch, and may also reflect Rihanna’s own diverse heritage.
Parents’ Hopes and Joy
In interviews leading up to the birth, ASAP Rocky shared with Elle that he and Rihanna secretly hoped for a baby girl. He mentioned that while they did a gender reveal for their first child, they didn’t for the second or third pregnancies, making this experience especially exciting. Rihanna, when speaking to Extra, humorously acknowledged the anticipation, joking about fans’ reactions if she hadn’t had a girl, before confirming that they were indeed wishing for a daughter.
With the arrival of Rocki Irish Mayers, Rihanna and ASAP Rocky’s family is now complete with three children—two boys and their new princess. Fans around the world are celebrating this joyful moment, admiring the couple’s growing family and the meaningful name they chose for their daughter.
