The Met Gala 2025 got even more dazzling when Rihanna dropped the joyful bombshell that she’s expecting her third child with rapper ASAP Rocky—right before the star-studded event. This revelation caught everyone by surprise and sent waves of excitement through fans and attendees alike.
In an exclusive video shared by the Associated Press, Rocky shared how it felt to reveal the news on such a high-profile day. He described the experience as “amazing,” saying they had been “tired of holding that” secret and felt it was finally time to “show the people what we were cooking up.”
Rocky expressed his gratitude for the outpouring of love and positivity from fans, calling it “a blessing.” He acknowledged that, unlike some situations where jealousy might arise, they’ve been met mostly with love and support, which they truly appreciate. His words—“Love is love”—captured the warm and accepting vibe surrounding their announcement.
For those new to the story, Rihanna and ASAP Rocky are already parents to two children: sons Rza Athelston Mayers and Riot Rose Mayers. Rihanna’s first pregnancy announcement was famously low-key, marked by a New York City stroll, while her second came amid the spotlight of her headlining the 2023 Super Bowl halftime show.
True to her reputation, Rihanna’s Met Gala look was nothing short of spectacular. In keeping with the theme Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, she wore a Marc Jacobs ensemble featuring a black wool crop jacket, a bustier bodysuit, and a tailored black pin-striped skirt with a bustle. She accessorized with a polka dot satin cravat and a striking hat created by Jacobs in collaboration with milliner Stephen Jones, as detailed by Vogue.
ASAP Rocky, who also served as a co-chair for the gala, donned a custom-made outfit from his creative agency AWGE. His look was centered around a black oversized coat, complemented by diamond jewelry and an eye-catching Briony Raymond umbrella with a pistol-shaped handle, a detail noted by E! News.
Together, Rihanna and Rocky’s stylish presence and joyful news added an extra layer of sparkle and love to one of fashion’s most glamorous nights.
