Rihanna is pregnant with her first child.

The singer, 33, is expecting a baby with her rapper love A$AP Rocky.

News of her pregnancy has hit headlines after the lovers were pictured out on a romantic walk in New York City over the weekend.

The Diamonds hitmaker debuted her bare baby bump while braving the snowy streets despite the freezing cold.

Photographs of the loved-up couple emerged in People.

They go way back as friends to the early 2010s which years later blossomed into a romance.

The couple were initially romantically linked in November 2020 after the singer split from her ex Hassan Jameel.

Previously, A$AP Rocky said starting a family is “in my destiny, absolutely”.

He added: “I think I’d be an incredible, remarkably overall amazing dad. I would have a very fly child. Very.”

Asked about their relationship, he told GQ magazine: “So much better. So much better when you got ‘the One.’ She amounts to probably, like, a million of the other ones. I think when you know, you know. She’s the One.”

In March 2020, Rihanna lifted the lid on her plans for motherhood.

She told British Vogue 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.”
