“I hope it’s a girl. I really do. We’re praying for a girl,” he told the outlet. “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. You can tell from the experience. I hope it’s a baby girl, man. I need that.”
The couple has a track record for starry pregnancy announcements, with Rihanna emerging on the 2023 Super Bowl stage with a baby bump on full display. Their son Riot Rose was born later that year.
The pair had their first child together in May 2022 after the Grammy Award-winning singer announced her pregnancy in January 2022. The couple were photographed for the announcement walking together in New York with Rihanna’s protruding belly proudly on display.
In September 2023, Rihanna and Rocky showed off their growing family, with a first glimpse of their newborn son, Riot Rose Mayers, in a series of family photos.
In the pictures, shot by celeb photographer Miles Diggs, the musical power couple could be seen snuggling up with Riot and his older brother, RZA.
“It’s a FAMILY thing 💪🏽 Welcome to the World Riot Rose,” Diggs posted to his Instagram page, with an adorable shot of RZA grasping his smiling mom’s leg, while a proud dad holds up his pink-clad second-born to the camera.
