Rihanna 'welcomes first child with boyfriend A$AP Rocky and reveals gender'

Singing sensation Rihanna has reportedly given birth to a baby boy.

The Umbrella hitmaker welcomed her first child with long-term rapper boyfriend A$AP Rocky last week, according to US site TMZ.

Fans are overjoyed at the news, with many taking to social media to share their excitement and congratulations for the singer and her partner.

One took to Twitter to say: "Ohh my god!! Congratulations to the new parents. I’m so happy for them. Gosh I love Rihanna so much."

Another went on to add: "Rihanna gave birth to a baby boy. So f**king happy for her. Can't wait to hear the kid grow up and realise his mum is one of the most iconic women ever!"

A third noted the baby boy's star sign when they penned: "Rihanna had her taurus baby boy! So happy for her."

While a fourth said: "Congratulations Rihanna! You deserve this beautiful God given gift. I’m so happy for you and your boo."

Neither Rihanna or A$AP Rocky have made an announcement of the birth.

Should reports prove to be true, the couple's baby boy is their first child together.

Rihanna's last public appearance was earlier this month on May 9 in LA for Mother's Day when she and her beau enjoyed a lavish dinner at a swanky restaurant.

Rihanna and her rapper beau A$AP Rocky, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, sent fans into a frenzy when they announced their pregnancy with a sweet public appearance.

The pair walked through Harlem on one of the coldest days of the year with her bump on full show – letting the world know about the wonderful news.

The 34-year-old braved the freezing temperatures and unbuttoned her pink vintage Chanel coat to expose her bare pregnancy belly.

She adorned her bump with an elegant gold cross chain which trailed down to her low-rise ripped jeans.

Boyfriend Rocky, 33, who comes from the New York neighbourhood, wore baggy fitting leather trousers with a denim Carhartt denim jacket.

After the couple made their shock announcement in January that they were having a baby together, fans were desperate to learn as much about the pregnancy as possible.

Throughout the pregnancy, the famous pair kept their cards close to their chests, but many suspected that RiRi was having a baby girl after she was spotted picking up a tiny orange dress during a shopping trip while she was pregnant.

Fans had suspected that the Umbrella hitmaker was going to have her baby boy in May after A$AP Rocky treated her to a $51,991 charm bracelet.

One of the charms was an emerald love locket - the birthstone of the month of May.

Rihanna had proudly flaunted her bump throughout her entire pregnancy, by wearing bikinis and figure-hugging frocks.

On what was her final holiday before becoming a mum, she was seen strolling along a beach in her native Barbados in a sequinned bikini and wrap-around skirt.

She looked content as she tucked into a freshly sliced mango as she dipped her toes in the sea.

But their romantic holiday came to an abrupt end after Rocky was arrested on April 20 as he landed at Los Angeles International Airport with Rihanna after the pair had been on holiday.

He was taken into custody for his potential involvement in a non-fatal shooting in Hollywood last year.

Rihanna was heavily pregnant at the time of the arrest and A$AP was released on bail of £421,000 shortly after his arrest.

At the time the Los Angeles Police Department said the arrest was made in connection with an "argument between two acquaintances" which resulted in shots being fired.

The victim later told police that the rapper, who was walking with two others, approached him with a handgun on the street.

They claimed Mayers shot at him three to four times and that he believed one of the bullets grazed his left hand, according to police reports obtained by NBC News.

In 2019 he was arrested in Sweden after he got into a fight between his entourage and another two men.
