Rihanna and A$AP Rocky, two well-known singers, have built a lovely family by welcoming their two sins, RZA Athelston Mayers and Riot Rose Mayers, into the world. While their journey to parenting was not meticulously planned, it has definitely enhanced their lives, as seen by their cheerful Instagram pictures. Here’s everything you need to know about Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s children.
RZA Athelston Mayers, 1
RZA Athelston Mayers, their first child, was born on May 13, 2022. According to PEOPLE, Rihanna’s pregnancy became public in January 2022 when the couple were seen in New York City.
RZA, named after the famous producer and rapper RZA of the Wu-Tang Clan, made headlines when he appeared on the cover of British Vogue along with his parents at the age of 9 months. Rocky was carrying RZA in his arms while Rihanna gazed forward, beaming with love and happiness.
Riot Rose Mayers
In August 2023, Rihanna officially became the mother of two children. Less than a year after RZA’s birth, on February 12, 2023, during her Super Bowl Halftime performance, she made the announcement that she was expecting her second child. Rihanna proudly flaunted her baby bump at the beginning of her performance while wearing a red dress, announcing to the world that her family was growing once again. A representative for Rihanna later told The Hollywood Reporter that she was indeed pregnant, shortly after her outstanding performance.
Following in the footsteps of RZA, the couple continued their tradition of “R” names. While the meaning of Riot’s name is unknown, it’s worth noting that Rocky released a single titled “RIOT (Rowdy Pipe’n)” before Riot was born.
