Rihanna has recently addressed the swirling rumors about her being pregnant, firmly stating that she is not expecting at the moment. During an interview with Entertainment Tonight at the launch of her new brand, Fenty Hair, the “Umbrella” singer clarified her current status. While she is not pregnant, she hasn’t ruled out the possibility of expanding her family in the future.
The 36-year-old artist, who shares two sons, RZA and Riot, with A$AP Rocky, humorously reflected on her past comments about wanting a daughter. When asked about the prospect of having more children, Rihanna expressed her hopes, saying, “You know what, I hope so. I do.” She added, “I’m not pregnant if that’s what you’re asking. I would definitely have more kids.”
In another conversation with Extra, Rihanna reiterated her desire to grow her family. She mentioned that everyone around her is encouraging her to have more children. “If I ever get a daughter, I am going to show her so much footage — she’s been talked about forever,” she shared. When asked if she specifically wanted a girl, Rihanna responded enthusiastically, “Of course! A spicy little girl would be so fun.”
Back in April, during an interview with Interview Magazine, Rihanna was asked by stylist Mel Ottenberg about the number of children she envisioned having. She replied, “As many as God wants me to have.” She further elaborated, “I don’t know what God wants, but I would go for more than two. I would try for my girl. But of course, if it’s another boy, it’s another boy.”
Despite her clear statements, rumors about Rihanna’s pregnancy have persisted, especially after she was named a National Hero in Barbados. The speculation was fueled by the orange dress she wore at the event. To put an end to the false news, Rihanna directly addressed a fan named Jen in a DM, which Jen later shared publicly. Jen had humorously asked if she could attend Rihanna’s baby shower, to which Rihanna responded, “Haaaaa! Stawwwp! You ain’t came to the first 10 baby showers! Y’all breed me every year dammit lol.”
Jen captioned her post with a light-hearted note, “😂😂😂 her uterus said ‘stay out of my damn business’ 💀😎 I spit my water out when she said ‘the first 10 baby showers’💀💀😭 regardless i’m happy for her either way she’s living life to the fullest! ❤️👸🏾👑 #riri #loveya”
Rihanna has always been open about her desire to become a mother. In a 2020 interview with British Vogue, she shared her hopes for the future, saying, “Ten years? I’ll be 42! I’ll be ancient. I’ll have kids—three or four of ’em.” She also mentioned that she would be willing to have children even if she hadn’t found the right partner, emphasizing that the most important thing is the happiness and love between a parent and child.
As Rihanna continues to navigate her career and personal life, she remains candid about her dreams of motherhood. While she is not currently pregnant, her fans can look forward to the possibility of her expanding her family in the future.
