Rumors of Rihanna’s Pregnancy Sparked by Social Media Photo, But Appears to Be False Alarm

Speculation about Rihanna’s possible pregnancy has emerged following a photo shared on social media by user @LustSierra. The image features A$AP Rocky standing beside a visibly pregnant Rihanna, leading to widespread rumors about the couple expecting their third child.

However, it seems that the pregnancy speculation is unfounded. Users on Community Notes have reportedly identified the photo as from June 2023 when Rocky and Rihanna attended the Louis Vuitton show at Paris Fashion Week. Given that @LustSierra is an X Premium user, there’s a chance that the original post is intentionally misleading, as X Premium users are incentivized based on engagement, potentially encouraging the creation of viral content, regardless of its accuracy.

While the recent rumors may be unsubstantiated, it’s worth noting that Rihanna has expressed an interest in expanding her family. In a December 2023 interview with Access Hollywood, she spoke about A$AP Rocky’s parenting, stating, “I loved him differently as a dad. This is major, major like, it’s a turn-on. It’s just like, ‘Wow! What a leader, what a great, patient, loving (dad). And my kids are obsessed with him. I’m just a background, I’m an extra.”

Despite ongoing desires for more children, sources told Us Weekly in November 2023 that Rihanna still hopes to have a daughter. The couple, as per another source, is “living out their dreams together.” However, concerns have been raised about the potential challenges Rihanna could face as a single mother if Rocky faces legal consequences for gun charges related to an altercation with A$AP Bari.
