Rihanna's Baby Daddy Spills the Beans: A$AP Rocky Reveals Gender of Their Third Child!

The world premiere of Rihanna's animated film, Smurfs, was the perfect setting for some juicy celebrity gossip! The 36-year-old rapper and father-to-be, A$AP Rocky, couldn't help but give away the gender of their third child in a hilarious exchange with ET's Kevin Frazier.

As the cameras rolled, Frazier asked the expecting 36-year-old if the new addition was "the girl you've been waiting for." Without hesitation, A$AP Rocky blurted out, "It is, man, it is!" Feeling cornered, he quickly redirected attention to a plush Smurfette doll and quipped, "Right here, you know what I'm saying? Right here!"

When ET's Kevin Frazier (R) asked the 36-year-old rapper 'Is that the girl you've been waiting for' he immediately replied: 'It is, man, it is'

Fans went wild on ET's official Instagram account, with many calling out the gender of their new arrival. One user, @aysenuurkc, exclaimed, "It's a girl!" Another fan, @khadija_sufi, laughed, "He definitely gave it away!" Meanwhile, @fashionistaera21 gushed, "That's a real man supporting his girl!"

But before we dive into the juicy details, let's get the tea on A$AP Rocky's past. The 36-year-old rapper has had quite the journey. Originally born Rakim Athelaston Mayers, he spent his teenage years moving from homeless shelter to homeless shelter with his mother and sister after his father went to prison.

Fast forward to present day, A$AP Rocky is expecting a third child with his partner, Rihanna, who is no stranger to controversy herself. The power couple has been going strong for five years and has already welcomed two sons, RZA Athelston Mayers (3) and Riot Rose Mayers (22 months).

However, this latest revelation has got fans buzzing about the possibility of a daughter joining their brood. In a past interview, Rihanna revealed her dream of having a girl, saying, "I want someone to share my clothes with." It seems like A$AP Rocky might have been paying attention!

But let's not forget that A$AP Rocky was facing up to eight years in prison until February 18 when he was acquitted of two counts of assault with a semi-automatic firearm stemming from a 2021 shooting. Talk about dodging a bullet!

Now, back to the present, A$AP Rocky has been promoting his upcoming film, Highest 2 Lowest, which hits US theaters August 22 and will also be available on Apple TV+ starting September 5.

Over on ET's official Instagram account, fans went wild with user @aysenuurkc exclaiming: 'It's [a] girl!'

Rihanna, meanwhile, is keeping busy with her lucrative lingerie line, Savage X Fenty, which boasts a whopping $3 billion valuation. The mogul has expanded her empire to include cosmetics company Fenty Beauty ($600 million), Fenty Skin, Fenty Fragrance, and Fenty Hair.

And now, we can't help but wonder what's next for this power couple? Will they continue to break barriers in the entertainment industry? One thing is certain – with A$AP Rocky's playful reveal of their third child's gender, fans are eagerly awaiting more updates on this exciting chapter in their lives!
