Rihanna and A$AP Rocky changed son's name several times after his birth

Rihanna has revealed that she and her partner A$AP Rocky changed their son's name several times before settling on a moniker.

After welcoming her first child with the rapper in May 2022, Rihanna, 34, has remained tight-lipped about their son's name.

In a new interview with British Vogue, she has reflected on being a mum as well as juggling her parent life with preparing for the ultimate pop music comeback and has explained that she changed her son's name numerous times before finding the perfect one.

Speaking of motherhood in the candid interview, Riri said: “It changed a lot but you’re just at the same constant. You’re of service.

"Literally that is it. You are joyful when you get the time to shower. You know.

"I remember in the beginning I used to roll his bassinet into the bathroom and be showering and like wiping the fog off the glass just to peep at him. Those were always my favourite, his little wake-up face, seeing his face change, seeing his colour come in, just all of these changes.”

It comes after Rihanna left the world speechless on Sunday night during her Super Bowl performance as she announced she was expecting her second child, just nine months after giving birth to her firstborn.

The Diamond hit-maker delivered a show-stopping set in a revealing red jumpsuit, confirming her second pregnancy.

However, her pregnancy announcement was 'unplanned' and 'last minute', according to one of the show's choreographers.

The entire ordeal was supposed to remain under wraps, that was until the chart-topping hitmaker's bump was 'really showing'.

The brains behind the show, choreographer Parris Goebel has now broken her silence, saying they had to change up their ideas at the last minute'.

Speaking on ABC's GMA3 this morning, she explained: "Honestly, she didn't really know if she was going to be showing or not."

Showing off a pronounced baby bump at the beginning of the performance, she rubbed her hand over her stomach while launching into a selection of hits from her catalogue.

Known professionally as Parris, the Emmy Award-winning choreographer said that Rihanna was 'not planning to make a reveal at all'.

"She was going to maybe wear something baggy that didn't really show and then leading up to the show we were just like 'oh she's really showing'," she explained.

Paris added: "So last minute, we decided to embrace it and share it with the world."
