Both being talented and famous in their own right, together they make a powerhouse.
Whilst they’ve both had their fair share of romantic links, including Lewis Hamilton, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Kendall Jenner, they seemingly are destined for each other!
They have been locked in for a while now, but where did it all begin for the couple? And how did A$AP turn the OG bad gal into the mother she is now?
When did Rihanna and A$AP Rocky first start dating?
Rihanna and A$AP have known each other for a very long time, starting out in the most respectable way possible, as friends!
They first publicly collaborated on one of Riri’s track, ‘Cockiness (Love It)’, which they famously performed at the 2012 MTV VMA’s, which is now one of the star’s most iconic performances.
Following on from the popular performance, Rocky then featured as the opening act on the ‘Rude Boy’ singers ‘Diamonds World Tour.’
In 2012, Rihanna also starred in the rapper's music video for ‘Fashion Killa’, looking cosy. A$AP has since referred back to that music video shoot as when the ‘Work’ singer fell in love with him.
At this stage, they were still just friends, even though they looked so good together!
The pair popped out at the London Fashion Awards in 2019, in a look that is now iconic for Rihanna.
It was shortly after that event that rumours first began to emerge surrounding the pair’s romantic relations, despite the ‘Diamonds’ singer having just recently broken up with her ex of three years, Hassan Jameel.
Later on in 2020, the pair were spotted during the Covid outbreak, masked up on a romantic stroll, pap’d and seemingly very cosy.
It was that Christmas when it was made clear how serious the two were, with the A$AP crew member visiting Barbados to spend the holiday with his girlfriend’s family.
The first confirmation from the couple themselves came in the form of Rocky’s interview with GQ, in May 2021, in which he called Rihanna ‘the love of his life’.
How long have Rihanna and A$AP Rocky been together?
The couple has been dating for over 5 years now, after first being romantically linked in 2019.
They upgraded from boyfriend and girlfriend to mother and father in January 2022, when they revealed the star was pregnant with their first child together, RZA.
RZA was born in May of the same year, bringing the couple their first bundle of joy!
They didn’t rest, though! Everyone remembers the ‘Work’ singer’s second pregnancy announcement at her Super Bowl headline show in early 2023, the celeb couple becoming parents for the second time, almost, back-to-back.
Ever since, the couple has dominated the media for just how couple goals they truly are.
Always stepping out in a fashion statement, Rihanna is particularly making waves with her maternity fashion, now with RZA and Riot often pictured on their hips.
They were rumored to have tied the knot back in 2022, when they wore matching grills with the phrases “Will you marry me?” and “I do” in his track “D.M.B.,” a song dedicated to her.
However, neither of them confirmed the marriage. Still, they seem locked in for life, as in love with each other now as they were in 2019.
They recently announced that Riri was pregnant for the third time, A$AP joking in an interview that they will eventually become the Wayans family, who are famous for having lots of children.
We wish the couple nothing but happiness and more love as they enter into the next chapter together!
