Rihanna is pregnant!

Rihanna is expecting her first child with rapper A$AP Rocky.

The singer was photographed debuting her baby bump during an outing with her boyfriend A$AP in Harlem, New York, over the weekend.

The 33-year-old wore a pink jacket closed by one button, exposing her stomach, and a long necklace which adorned her bump with colourful jewels.

The loved-up couple were spotted stopping their walk to hug and exchange a kiss.

The star first sparked pregnancy rumours back in November 2021, when she accepted her National Hero of Barbados award. She denied she was expecting at the time in a response to a fan on Twitter.

“Can I come to the baby shower sis!?” the fan wrote. “True or not your babies are going to be beautiful. Sorry everyone’s up in your uterus right now.”

She responded: “Ha! Stop! You ain’t came to the first 10 baby showers! Y’all breed me every year dammit lol.”

Rihanna and A$AP have been dating since November 2020.

A$AP previously opened up to GQ magazine about his romance with the Diamonds singer, referring to her as the “love of my life.”

Speaking about being in a relationship, he said:

“It’s so much better when you got ‘the one.’ She amounts to probably, like, a million of the other ones. I think when you know, you know. She’s the one.”

Fans  and friends of the musicians have taken to social media to express their happiness for the couple.

“Rihanna always said she wanted kids within this timeframe. I’m very happy for her,” one person wrote.

“Wow congratulations to Rihanna and A$AP!! The journey is gonna be so beautiful she looks amazing!!” a second said.

Another joked: “Rihanna is excused from dropping the album since she will likely be birthing the second coming of Jesus Christ.”
