The Harlem rapper took to Instagram on May 13, posting a series of heartwarming photos and videos featuring his two sons, RZA and Riot Rose, along with their mother, Rihanna. The images capture the family in playful and candid moments, showcasing their close bond.
In the initial photos, Rocky, Rihanna, RZA, and the newest addition, Riot, strike humorous poses. The carousel also includes rare moments between Rocky and RZA, highlighting their father-son relationship. One particularly adorable video shows RZA dressed in a Snorlax onesie, adding a touch of whimsy to the celebration. “HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY 2 MY 1st BORN BABY BOY RZA ❤️” Rocky captioned the post, expressing his love and joy.
The birthday celebration took place at the Color Factory in New York City, an intimate venue filled with colorful balloons, ball pits, toy trucks, and slides. According to TMZ, both parents actively participated in the festivities, making it a memorable day for their children. After the party, Rocky and Rihanna enjoyed a night out, hitting a club where they danced and performed karaoke. Rocky rapped hits like Cam’ron’s “Oh Boy,” while Rihanna joined in the fun, though she didn’t perform any of her own songs.
The couple’s family has grown recently, with the arrival of their second son, Riot Rose, on August 1. The “Diamonds” singer, 35, and the rapper, 34, posed with their baby boys in a series of fashion-forward family portraits. The photos, part of Bottega Veneta’s ‘Portraits of Fatherhood’ series by Carrie Mae Weems, capture the family in casual yet stylish looks, smiling together and radiating happiness.
Rihanna and Rocky’s journey to parenthood has been a public affair, with the singer announcing her second pregnancy during her Super Bowl halftime show. She made the big reveal by rubbing her stomach and leaving her jumpsuit unzipped to show her baby bump. The couple hinted at their new baby’s name in a Beats Studio Pro ad directed by Rocky, featuring his new single “RIOT (ROWDY PIPE’N).” In the video, Rocky is seen working in his home studio when Rihanna calls him to go to the store for diapers. The ad cleverly incorporates their family life, with Rocky grabbing a pack of AWGEY diapers featuring RZA on the package.
The musical duo’s relationship has been a topic of interest for fans and media alike. They were close friends for nearly a decade before their friendship blossomed into a romantic relationship. Since confirming their relationship in November 2020, the couple has been frequently spotted together, enjoying dates and vacations. After welcoming Riot, an insider told PEOPLE, “Rihanna feels her family is now complete. It’s something she’s always wanted.”
