For the first time since photos revealing her pregnancy were released, Rihanna has posted her own snapshot of her baby bump to Instagram.
The sweet photo shows Rihanna posing in a bathroom, lifting an orange and teal jersey with her Prada glove-clad hands (an outfit she wore with a vintage Jean Paul Gaultier coat earlier this month) to peer down at her growing stomach. She also posted other photos from her and boyfriend A$AP Rocky's pregnancy reveal photoshoot in Harlem from this past weekend, which featured Rihanna in a hot-pink Chanel coat unbuttoned above her stomach as well as bejeweled body jewelry adorning her bump.
"How the gang pulled up to black history month," the Fenty mogul captioned the pictures.
The couple, who reportedly started dating in December 2020, have previously opened up about their desire to become parents.
During a red-carpet interview with Essence in 2019, Rihanna said, "I'm a Black woman. I came from a Black woman, who came from a Black woman, who came from a Black woman and I'm going to give birth to a Black woman. It's a no-brainer. That's who I am. It's the core of who I am in spirit and DNA." She explained that she sees her own mom as "an incredible example of how to fight through obstacles in life. I'm sure her mom taught her that and that's how I'm going to be. We are impeccable, we're special, and the world is going to have to deal with that."
Meanwhile, Rocky told GQ last year of the possibility of fatherhood, "If that’s in my destiny, absolutely. ... I think I’d be an incredible, remarkably, overall amazing dad. I would have a very fly child. Very."
As an associate editor at HarpersBAZAAR.com, Chelsey keeps a finger on the pulse on all things celeb news. She also writes on social movements, connecting with activists leading the fight on workers' rights, climate justice, and more. Offline, she’s probably spending too much time on TikTok, rewatching Emma (the 2020 version, of course), or buying yet another corset.
