Rihanna could not be happier to be the mother of two rambunctious young boys. After a video of her son RZA trying to climb out of his playpen went viral last month, the singer/entrepreneur talked to Access Hollywood about what she’s learned from her children with boyfriend rapper A$AP Rocky — they also share year-old son Riot — and what it’s been like adjusting to full-time mom duty.
“It’s fun, I literally, I enjoy it so much,” said the star who hasn’t released a new album since 2016’s Anti. “I am just looking at them and living through them and I’m amazed by every new discovery of theirs, even their boundaries. They’re teaching me how to be their mom as much as I’m teaching them how to be in this world and guide them as best as I can.”
As for how RZA is adjusting to being a big bro, Rihanna — who is also an older sibling — said it is “rough. The second that his baby brother cries, he’s there! He’s running down, he’s actually crying too. He’s worried. He loves him! It’s just hard to share toys and pacifiers.”
Rihanna also gave Rocky props for being named one of the co-chairs of the 2025 Met Gala, alongside Pharrell Williams, Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton, actor Colman Domingo and honorary chair LeBron James.
“This is probably one of my favorite themes of all of them,” said frequent attendee RihRih of the celebration of Black sartorial perfection from the 18th century to today titled “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.”
“I’ve had tons of incredible themes with the Met Ball that I’ve enjoyed, but this one it just made me respect it so much more… It’s a celebration of culture. It’s also a celebration of history,” she said. “It’s just brining it to the forefront on a platform where we’ve been kind of hidden and it’s just accepting it.”
