Rihanna has welcomed her first baby into the world with her boyfriend A$AP Rocky, according to reports.

It has been claimed the baby boy was born on May 13 last Friday in Los Angeles, TMZ reported.

The Umbrella hitmaker is yet to publicly announce the arrival of her bundle of joy on social media or reveal the name of her newborn.

Rihanna’s representatives have been approached by The Standard for comment on the happy news.

At the start of 2022, the 33-year-old singer confirmed she was pregnant with her first child.

She debuted her baby bump while enjoying a romantic stroll with A$AP Rocky through New York City.

Since then, Rihanna has been proudly showing off her blossoming baby bump at numerous events ahead of her child’s arrival.

However, Rihanna was last seen publicly on May 9, 2022 - prompting speculation the songstress had given birth.

Similarly, neither Rihanna nor A$AP Rocky has been active on social media since earlier on in May.

The couple were friends for more than a decade before they became romantically linked at the end of 2020.

The couple also appeared to act out getting married in a recent music video for A$AP’s single D.M.B.

In 2020, the Diamonds songstress discussed her plans for motherhood during an interview with British Vogue.

She told the publication at the time: “I’ll have kids — three or four of ’em.”

“I feel like society makes me want to feel like, ‘Oh, you got it wrong…’ They diminish you as a mother if there’s not a dad in your kids’ lives,” she said.

“But the only thing that matters is happiness, that’s the only healthy relationship between a parent and a child. That’s the only thing that can raise a child truly, is love.”

Messages of congratulations have already begun to pour in amid news Rihanna and A$AP Rocky had finally welcomed their baby boy.
