Congratulations are in order for Rihanna and A$AP Rocky, who have welcomed their third baby and first daughter!
Rihanna revealed on Wednesday (Sept. 24) that Rocki Irish Mayers was born on Sept. 13. She posted a picture of herself holding a pretty-in-pick Rocki while later showing off a solo shot of her silk pink boxing gloves.
Rocky said in his Elle cover story that was published Tuesday (Sept. 23) that the couple was hoping “it’s a girl. I really do. We’re praying for a girl.” In June, played off his accidental gender reveal while speaking to Entertainment Tonight at the Brussels premiere of the Smurfs movie Rihanna stars in. When asked whether the baby was “the girl [he’s] been waiting for,” the Don’t Be Dumb MC smiled and nodded in response before holding up a Smurfette plushie. “Right here, right here!” he chuckled.
Ri and Rocky already have two sons together, three-year-old RZA and two-year-old Riot Rose, and Rocki continues the family tradition of “R” names – despite her father’s recent comments about potentially deviating to a “D” name. In his recent GQ interview, Rocky said he would name their third child Denzel after his Highest 2 Lowest co-star Denzel Washington “no matter what. The first female come out named Denzel, it’s lit. We got it figured out,” he said at the time.
