Icons in music and fashion, Rihanna (34) and partner A$AP Rocky (34) finally let us into their parenthood journey by sharing pics and TikTok videos of their firstborn!
Rihanna, who announced her pregnancy in January of 2022, waited and enjoyed the privacy of raising her son before revealing him to the world.
However, not unlike Blake Lively revealing her pregnancy pictures to avoid paparazzi intrusion, Riri also made her sharing decisions based on paparazzi pressure.
After reportedly receiving threats from the paparazzi that shared they have photographs of her baby, The ‘Diamonds’ star decided to take matters into her own hands by controlling the narrative. She reached out to Jason Lee, who runs Hollywood Unlocked and asked him to release the images that she shared.
It was very important to her that ‘BLACK MEDIA’ released these images.
Thank you @rihanna for trusting us to share. Adorable! pic.twitter.com/rOpTZAUyhC

She wanted BLACK MEDIA to be the one to do it since she wasn’t going to be given the choice. First, I’m honored they would trust me and kinda sad it had to be that way. I wish they were given the choice. Kids are off limits here at HU. I guess some folks don’t care.

In a recent interview, with Access Hollywood, the business mogul shared more about her recent experience of becoming a new mommy.
“Life starts over when you become a parent. It’s life that you’ve never known before,” she said. “You look at him and he’s yours but he’s a stranger and you’re learning him as he’s learning you and learning the world. When he looks at me in my eyes, my whole soul…I can’t tell if it’s cold or hot.”
Rihanna then also jumped on the reveal by also sharing a TikTok of baby boy sharing him being the cutest in a car ride.
