When is Rihanna’s baby due?

With nothing confirmed just yet, we can only speculate based on Rihanna’s previous pregnancy timelines.

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky revealed they were expecting their first child, RZA, in January 2022—just under five months before he was born—and their second son, Riot, made his surprise debut during her iconic Super Bowl performance in February 2023, arriving about six months later.

Based on this we can only hope the baby will be with us around November, being the family’s first winter baby!

What will Rihanna name her baby?

With names like RZA and Riot, the Fenty family are sure to come up with yet another one-of-a-kind name.

Fans are certain that it has to be another name beginning with ‘R’, in keeping with the brand, as Rihanna and Rocky’s real names also begin with R – Robyn and Rakeem, respectively.

Although it is alleged, after the dramatic acquittal of A$AP in his trial in February this year, that A$AP agreed to name his next child after his lawyer...Joe. We can only hope this is a rumour!

What is the baby’s gender?

So early on in the stars pregnancy, fans can only speculate as to whether a baby girl or boy is on the way, but it is clear that one is more favourable!

With two cute sons already, we can only hope for a baby girl right?
