Rihanna just announced her pregnancy with her third child at the 2025 Met Gala, but she already has baby number four on the brain. In an interview on Sherri, Rihanna‘s friend (and former rival) Ciara—who has four kids of her own with husband Russell Wilson—revealed that she and Rihanna discussed the Fenty Beauty founder’s plan to have even more kids after her and her boyfriend A$AP Rocky’s third child.
“We were cracking up talking about, cause’ Russ with us and A$AP, we all took a picture together and he started talking about cinco because you know I have four,” Ciara said. “We start talking about quatro for her, but she got to get through the tres first, the third baby.”
She continued, “Straight mommy talk, just sweet love, special moment for her. I got to shout her out because she also sent me a sweet DM a few months back saying she’s so proud of me.”
Rihanna also confirmed to Interview magazine in 2024 that she planned to have “as many” kids as “god wants [her] to have.” “I don’t know what god wants, but I would go for more than two. I would try for my girl. But of course if it’s another boy, it’s another boy,” she said at the time.
A source told People in May 2025 that Rihanna and A$AP—who also share sons Riot, 1, and RZA, 2—wanted their kids to be near in age, which is why Rihanna’s pregnancies have been so close together. “Rihanna has always wanted a big family, so she couldn’t be more excited. Rihanna and Rocky are thrilled to be growing their family and they can’t wait to give their boys another sibling,” the insider said. “They wanted to have their children close together in age, so that they could grow up together and share a close bond. They feel so blessed and are so grateful for this next chapter in their lives. It’s a very special time.”
Another source also added to People that Rihanna’s pregnancy comes at a good time after A$AP was acquitted in his felony assault trial in February 2025. The trial was over accusations that A$AP fired an automatic handgun at A$AP Mob member A$AP Relli during an altercation in November 2021.
“[They’ve] had some time to decompress and just focus on family time,” the insider said. “Rihanna’s a great mom. She loves playing with the kids.” The source went on to add that Rocky’s “such a playful dad too. They were hoping for another baby.”
