Rihanna's Father's Legacy: A New Chapter in Parenting
Exclusive Scoop! Rihanna Reveals How Late Dad's Legacy Inspires Her Parenting Style
The 37-year-old superstar, who's expecting her third child with A$AP Rocky, has opened up about how her late father Ronald Fenty's influence will live on through her little ones. And trust us, it's a juicy tale!
In a candid chat with Entertainment Tonight, Rihanna spilled the tea on how her dad's adventurous spirit and love for nature have shaped her parenting approach. "I've always dreamed of what type of grandfather he would be to them," she gushed about her late parent, who passed away at 70 in May.
Fast-forward to her own parental journey, and it's clear that Fenty's legacy is well on its way to being fulfilled. With two rambunctious boys, RZA (3) and Riot (2), already running wild under her watchful eye, Rihanna confessed that she wants them to be "outside and in nature" – no tablets or screens allowed!
The pop star credits her dad for some of the most unforgettable moments from her own childhood. "He prepared me for having two boys," she said with a smile. "Just running around outside, barefoot, free... those were the best times!"
But what about the rocky road their relationship took? In 2019, Rihanna sued her father, claiming his Fenty Management talent firm was cashing in on her fame. Two years later, they seemingly made amends, with Ronald gushing over becoming a grandfather to Rihanna's first child.
As A$AP Rocky and Rihanna prepare for the arrival of their third baby (yes, it's a boy again!), fans are eager to know more about this little bundle of joy. And if you caught A$AP's candid interview at the Smurfs premiere, you might've noticed he accidentally spilled the beans on the baby's gender.
When asked if that was "the girl" they'd been waiting for, Rocky quickly replied, "It is, man... it is!" – before pulling out a Smurfette doll and giving a sly grin. Ah, we see what you did there, Rocky!
Meanwhile, Rihanna has been slaying the maternity style game like a pro. At the Met Gala, she stunned in not one, not two, but THREE custom looks by Marc Jacobs – each showcasing her growing baby bump. And before the main event, she gave fans a sneak peek of her glamorous attire, complete with a dapper hat and scarf.
For an after-party hosted by A$AP, Rihanna transformed into a sleek, all-black siren, flashing a hint of midriff and oozing sophistication.
So, what's behind Rihanna's passion for fashion even in the midst of pregnancy? "I've had too much fun dressing my bump," she confessed to Vogue. "I didn't want my love for fashion to disappear just because I'm pregnant."
As we bid adieu to this juicy scoop, it's clear that Ronald Fenty's legacy will continue to inspire Rihanna as a mom – and maybe even spark some intergenerational fashion trends? Stay tuned for more updates on the world of RiRi!
