Rihanna's boyfriend A$AP Rocky gushes about 'coming home to heaven' in 'dad club'

A$AP Rocky is clearly loving life in the "dad club" as he opened up about his pride of fathering Rihanna's child.

The rapper, 34, and Umbrella songstress, also 34, welcomed their first child in May last year and he's gushed how fatherhood has given him a "whole new perspective" on his life and career.

In an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, he admitted he "can't even explain" the feelings he has towards his son. He told the host: "You come home to heaven every day. I’m so thankful. God is good, man.

"Being outside and working and being creative, it drives more energy for you to obviously to think and soak things up like a sponge now that I’m a dad, because I have a whole ‘nother perspective."

He continued: "But it honestly helps you get home to your family and get home to your baby."

His words follow sources saying Rihanna is "obsessed" with her baby. An insider told People : "Rihanna loves being a mom. She is obsessed with her baby boy".

They added that her partner A$AP Rocky is "very involved as well and [is] a great dad."

The couple are understood to have been dating since 2020. They have been keen to keep their tot out of the limelight for the majority of the time and are yet to publicly reveal his name.

However, Rihanna did take to TikTok recently to share an adorable first look at the youngster in a sweet clip.

She uploaded the short video last month to her six million followers on the app. It begins with the child smiling for the camera before the award-winning singer can be heard speaking to him in the background.

She captioned the cuteness overload "hacked" and fans were quick to gush over the post in the comments section.

Rihanna's long-awaited music comeback is set to take the world by storm as she readies herself for an explosive Super Bowl half-time show.

The often epic event will see the singer take to the stage next month in what will be her first major live event for six years.
