Rihanna and A$AP Rocky Welcome Baby Rocki: A New Chapter as Parents in Pop Culture Spotlight

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have welcomed their third child together, a baby girl named Rocki Irish Mayers, born on September 13, 2025. The couple announced the arrival of their daughter via Instagram, sharing a photo of Rihanna cradling the newborn in a baby-pink jumpsuit. Rocki joins her older brothers, RZA Athelston Mayers and Riot Rose Mayers, who were born in May 2022 and August 2023, respectively.

The name Rocki Irish continues the family’s tradition of names beginning with the letter “R,” a pattern that also reflects the parents’ own names—Robyn Fenty (Rihanna) and Rakim Mayers (A$AP Rocky). A$AP Rocky revealed during the Smurfs premiere in Brussels in June 2025 that they were expecting a baby girl, holding a plush Smurfette doll while speaking with Entertainment Tonight’s Kevin Frazier. When asked if the child was the girl he had been waiting for, Rocky responded, “It is, man. It is.”

In a recent interview with Elle magazine, A$AP Rocky shared his hopes for a daughter, saying, “I hope it’s a girl. I really do. We’re praying for a girl.” He explained their approach to learning the sex of their children: they wanted to know with their first child, chose not to know with the second, and decided to wait until birth with the third.

Seven months after her birth, Rocki made her magazine cover debut alongside her mother on the Pop Issue of W magazine. The photo, shot by Tim Walker, shows Rihanna and Rocki dressed in Dior. Rihanna praised her daughter’s performance on set via Instagram, writing, “Cover girrrrrlz!!! Baby Rocki served sumn serious on her first cover! Came on set and shut her mama dowwwnn!!!!” Although Rihanna did not give a direct interview to W magazine, her partner A$AP Rocky spoke about their family life in the cover story.

Rocky highlighted how motherhood has changed Rihanna, saying, “She has changed a lot because she became a mother in that time span, and that certainly changes you. But this woman has always been magic. Philosophically, the way she operates is on another level. She is the most charming and genuine person on Earth. Her energy is unmatched—one of a kind. I just adore her.” He also shared insights into their home life, noting their shared love for documentaries and films, mentioning they have watched the Bob Marley documentary and the movie El Cantante numerous times together.

The couple began dating in 2019 and first publicly confirmed their relationship in late 2020. Their growing family reflects their deep bond, with Rocky previously expressing admiration for Rihanna’s authenticity, and strength. As of April 2026, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky continue to balance their high-profile careers with raising their three children, often sharing glimpses of their family life through music, fashion, and occasional public appearances.
