A$AP Rocky and Rihanna are not only two of music's biggest stars, they are also partners who put their family first.

The couple welcomed their first child, son RZA, in May 2022, and their second child, son Riot, in August 2023.

Their third child, a daughter named Rocki Irish Mayers, was born on Sept. 13, 2025, according to a post Rihanna shared on Instagram.

During her pregnancy with Rocki, Rihanna brought her two sons to the U.S. premiere of 'Smurfs" in Los Angeles.

Describing the addition of Rocki to the family's two sons, A$AP Rocky told the New York Times' "Popcast" podcast that she, "came in, and just kind of took over the whole household.”

“Baby Rocki man, she's something, you know she's 4 months ... And she looks exactly identical to me. My twin, bro,” the rapper said in the Jan. 15 interview promoting his fourth studio album, "Don't Be Dumb."

It was A$AP Rocky who confirmed at the 2025 Met Gala in May that he and Rihanna were expecting their third child.

"It feels amazing, you know," A$AP Rocky told reporters after they congratulated him following media reports that the couple was expecting their third child, according to The Associated Press. "It's time that we show the people what we was cooking up, and I'm glad everybody's happy for us, 'cause we definitely happy, you know."

The two artists first met in 2012 before they started dating years later in 2019, according to an October 2024 feature on the rapper in W magazine, before they tied the knot in May 2021.

Three years ago, the couple became parents for the first time and Rihanna told Interview magazine their new chapter together felt like a natural next step.

"There was no denying it. It was the best thing that ever happened to us. It just happened," she said.

A$AP Rocky also told W that fatherhood profoundly changed his life.

"Once you a parent, you just embody that, no matter what," the 36-year-old said, adding that Rihanna is a "great mom" and he's "the greatest dad in the whole wide world."

A$AP Rocky said becoming a dad has also changed the way he views his music today.

"I do have songs where I'm talking about my life, and fatherhood is one of the things that I bring up, though—adapting to changes and having a work-family balance," he told W.

RZA Mayers

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky welcomed their first son, RZA, on May 13, 2022.

Rihanna has described her son as "an empath" who loves melodies and music, according to Harper's Bazaar.

She also told Interview magazine the first word RZA ever said was simply, "Hey."

"I used to try to get his attention all the time, and I would say, 'Hey, hey, hey.' And one day he said it back to me in the same melody and I kept singing it and he kept following it over and over again," she said.

Riot Mayers

The artists became parents of two when they had their second son, Riot, on Aug. 3, 2023.

Rihanna told Harper's Bazaar that fellow singer and songwriter Pharrell Williams helped them select Riot's name.

"He gave us this name thinking it was going to be a girl, because he had seen something online," Rihanna said. "Pharrell is very deep. He's not surface. He will never say anything and just leave it there with a full stop. He will have the entire history: the energy, the time, the month that it is."

According to A$AP Rocky, Riot is the more outgoing of the couple's two sons.

“And my second son is just a socialite at this point, you know? He wants to steal the room when he comes, and he walks in it, and he's addicted to cotton candy, and... he likes... typical little kid stuff,” he said on the Jan. 15 episode of "Popcast."

Rocki Irish Mayers

The couple's daughter, Rocki Irish Mayers, was born on Sept. 13, 2025.

Rihanna broke the news in a sweet Instagram post, sharing an image of herself holding the infant, who is swaddled in a pink blanket.
