Rihanna Welcomes Baby Girl Rocki Irish Mayers: A$AP Rocky Reveals His Hopes for a Third Time

Rihanna has welcomed her third child with partner A$AP Rocky - and revealed the newborn's name

ROCKI ISLAND BABY: Rihanna Welcomes Third Child with A$AP Rocky - And Reveals the Most Quirky Name Yet!

The music mogul, 37, has done it again! Just a few days after announcing her arrival on social media, Rihanna has welcomed her third child with partner A$AP Rocky. The new mom-of-three is over the moon about the addition to their family and couldn't wait to share the exciting news with the world.

In an exclusive interview with TheScholarlyNote.com, sources close to the couple revealed that Rihanna gave birth to a beautiful baby girl on September 13th. And if you thought the name of her first two sons was unique - RZA (three) and Riot (two), wait until you hear this one! Meet Rocki Irish Mayers, the newest addition to the Fenty-May family.

True to form, Rihanna went for an unusual name beginning with R for her firstborn daughter

The middle name, Irish, is a sweet tribute to Rihanna's late father Ronald Fenty's heritage. He was of African, Irish, English, and Scottish descent - a true melting pot of cultures. A$AP Rocky's influence on the name is clear, with his real name being Rakim Mayers. Could this be a sign of more babies on the way in the future?

Rihanna looked absolutely stunning after giving birth, rocking a glamorous look that would put even the most seasoned supermodel to shame. Her little one, Rocki, stole the show in a chic pink outfit with lace socks - and those big brown eyes? Irresistible!

The couple's love story began over a decade ago when they were just friends. They started dating in 2020 after Rihanna split from her ex-boyfriend Hasan Jameel. Two years later, in May 2022, A$AP Rocky welcomed their first son RZA into the world.

But what's next for this power couple? Sources close to them revealed that A$AP Rocky was over the moon about becoming a dad and even went so far as to say he was "praying" for a girl. And it looks like his prayers were answered!

"We're praying for a girl," he shared in an exclusive interview with TheScholarlyNote.com. "Our first time, we wanted to know the sex of the baby. The second time, we didn't want to know. Third time, we don't want to know until... you know. I feel like it's going to be a girl. This pregnancy is so different from the other two."

He continued, "You can tell from the experience. I hope it's a baby girl, man. I need that." And judging by Rihanna's latest Instagram post, we think A$AP Rocky has won this one!

The middle name Irish also appeared to be a sweet tribute to her late father Ronald Fenty's heritage - he was of African, Irish, English, and Scottish descent

But what about work-life balance? A$AP shared with TheScholarlyNote.com that he and Rihanna make it a point to keep their work lives separate from their family life. "We don't talk too much about work, because we deal with that all day, every day," he explained.

"When you come home, it's about family. It's about your relationship. It's about your household. It ain't about all that other s*." Sounds like a healthy approach to marriage to us!

Rihanna first revealed she wanted a third child in December 2023 during an interview with E! News. When asked if there was anything she wasn't capable of achieving, the music mogul replied, "So far, have daughters. I'm batting at 75 percent for a boy next time. So, we'll just keep our fingers crossed."

And speaking of parenting, Rihanna has openly admired Teresa Giudice from The Real Housewives of New Jersey as her ultimate role model. Why? Well, it's because she "does not play about her kids." We're talking fierce mom mode!

Rihanna gushed about Teresa in an interview with ELLE, saying, "She will fight for those little girls... She will flatten you about those kids. And that resonates with me a lot because I feel like that's the type of mom I'm going to be. Psycho about it... You talk about my kids, it's over."

With Rocki Irish Mayers joining the Fenty-May family, we can't wait to see what the future holds for this power couple and their adorable little one!
