Rihanna and rapper A$AP Rocky are busy parents to two young boys, RZA and Riot. Rihanna shared a cute video on Instagram of her eldest son trying to escape from a playpen, joking that being a boy mom is like an Olympic sport. She added the theme song from Mission Impossible to the post for an extra touch of humor. This is not the first time Rihanna and Rocky have made light of the challenges of parenting, with Rocky joking about his kids’ obsession with the cartoon Cocomelon in an interview with Billboard in August.
Rocky spoke in the interview about the difficulties of balancing their busy careers with the demands of parenting. Despite the chaos, he praised Rihanna for her understanding and compatibility, saying their relationship is going great. He expressed his love for her in an interview with GQ in May 2021, calling her “The One” and saying that she is so much better than anyone else. The couple welcomed their first child, RZA, in May 2022 and their second child, Riot, in August 2023.
While Rihanna is enjoying being a “boy mom,” she also expressed in an interview with Interview magazine in June that she is open to having a daughter or even more sons in the future. She said she would love to have a girl, but if she ends up having another boy that would be just as wonderful. Despite the challenges of parenting and their busy schedules, Rihanna and Rocky are making it work and finding balance in their relationship. Rocky said that he appreciates how understanding Rihanna is of his hectic schedule and how they make the most of their time together when they can.
The couple’s ability to navigate the demands of parenting and their careers is made easier by the fact that they are both in the music industry. Rocky acknowledged that their shared experiences in the industry help them understand each other’s schedules and make compromises when needed. He expressed admiration for Rihanna’s ability to handle the juggle of career and family responsibilities. The couple’s shared commitment to their relationship and their children has helped them build a strong foundation for their family. Despite the challenges, they are making it work and enjoying the journey of parenthood together.
