Rihanna Finally Got Her Baby Girl

The singer announced the birth of Rocki Irish Mayers with a tender Instagram photo, pressing her newborn to her bare chest.

In the photo, Rihanna had her hair swept to the side, gazing down at her previous bundle of joy, who was swaddled in a soft pink onesie. The newborn’s feet peeked out in lace-trimmed socks while big pink bows decorated the mother’s arms.

Rihanna adorned herself with chains around her neck, a ring on her left ring finger, and a golden watch with a pink face, which contributed to the overall theme of the photo. She exuded both strength and softness in the photo.

The original post, which has now gone viral, got over 10 million likes, 210,000 congratulatory comments, and 308,000 reposts. Both fans and celebrities alike celebrated the long-awaited arrival of the baby girl.

RZA, Riot, And Rocki

Rihanna’s motherhood journey kicked off with the birth of RZA Athelston Mayers on May 13, 2022. Just 15 months later, Rihanna welcomed her second son, Riot Rose Mayer, on August 1, 2023.

Rihanna’s third chapter came with Rocki Irish Mayers, born September 13, 2025. Her arrival also cemented the family’s “R” legacy, with the father as Rakim (popularly A$AP Rocky), the mother as Robyn (professionally known as Rihanna), and the kids RZA, Riot, and Rocki.

One fan commented, “Riot, Rza, and Rocki are the hardest names ever! Whole family just dragged out.”

The Fenty Empire Celebrates Rocki

In the wake of Rihanna’s and A$AP Rocky’s announcement of their daughter, fans noticed a sweet, coordinated gesture across Rihanna’s Fenty empire.

Fenty Hair, Fenty Skin, and Fenty Beauty updated their Instagram profile pictures to a signature pink hue to symbolize the arrival of Rihanna’s first daughter, dubbed the “princess” after two boys.

Only Savage X Fenty maintained its original profile picture, perhaps to keep its grown-and-sexy branding intact as fans speculate. Although they posted the photo of Rihanna and Rocki, welcoming the baby as a “new queen.”

Rihanna Is Winning

Rihanna appears to be winning both in her career and family. She has her long-desired daughter, two boys she adores, a seemingly strong partnership with A$AP Rocky, and a billion-dollar brand empire. Even with a recent dip in her net worth, she can still boast of a strong fanbase, the loyal Navy, who continues to ride for her.

New Album Next?

Naturally, fans are happy about Rocki’s birth. But a few of them have also shifted focus to her new album. Now that she has a girl, the logic is that she can now focus on her music. However, history suggests she’ll be prioritizing her newborn and toddlers for now. But since she told Harper’s Bazaar that she’s working on the new album, fans may not have to wait so long after all.
