"All three of our kids are A names, but the difference is only my wife has the A name and nobody cares what my initial was."

Rocky then humorouslyasked if any of Meyers' kids are named A$AP. The host caught the joke and told the rapper he has been looking for a reason to get his wife pregnant a fourth time, and "A$AP Meyers" would be a great fit.

The 'Man Down' Singer's History Of Interesting Pregnancy Reveals

Rihanna's third baby bump drop on the floral red carpet continued her trend of memorable announcements. She previously revealed her second pregnancy during her halftime performance at the 2023 Super Bowl, where she proudly displayed her baby bump. 

A few months later, in August 2023, she and A$AP Rocky welcomed their second child, a son named Riot Rose Mayers, inspired by Pharrell Williams, whose song "Riot" was released shortly before the birth. 

Their first child, RZA Athelston Mayers, was born in May 2022. Rihanna and Rocky kept RZA's name a secret for nearly a year before unveiling it, paying homage to the renowned Wu-Tang Clan member.

The Singer Kept Her Second Pregnancy A Secret From Her Father, Ronald Fenty

Rihanna's father apparently found out about Riot with the rest of the world. In February 2023, her father, Ronald, learned about her second pregnancy while watching the news, which caught him by surprise. 

He had reportedly traveled from Barbados to attend the Super Bowl, where Rihanna was performing, after she gifted him tickets. During her halftime show, he was overwhelmed with emotion, realizing that his daughter looked pregnant.

In a previous interview, Ronald expressed his hope that Rihanna's first child would be a girl, as he already had four grandsons from his other children. 

He anticipated the joy of welcoming a granddaughter and even speculated about Rihanna's future family plans. Ronald recalled that she once mentioned wanting to have three kids.

"Rihanna's a great mom. She loves playing with kids. Rocky's such a playful dad, too. They were hoping for another baby," the insider added.

Rihanna and Rocky are also very overjoyed to be expecting their third child, as confirmed by a source. The Fenty Beauty CEO has always dreamed of having a large family, and this new addition is reportedly a source of excitement for the couple. 

The source noted that they are especially eager to give their boys another sibling, as they believe that having children close in age will allow them to grow up together and develop a strong bond. 

The couple reportedly feels blessed and grateful for this next chapter in their lives, marking it a very special time for their family.
