What do Rihanna, Mummy Pig and Laura Kenny have in common? They can afford to have a third child

Not one for a casual baby announcement, Rihanna used the Met Gala as the stage to confirm that she’s pregnant with her third child. Hot off the heels of Mummy Pig’s gender reveal (a girl, ICYMI) - it feels like everyone and their farm animal is having baby number three. Since I had my second child at the same time that Rihanna had hers, I feel slightly panicked by the news since I, personally, am not ready to make a decision about adding a third to my brood.

For Rihanna, a woman with a private jet that could house a small village, it’s not much of a concern for her that a third child would bring extra flight costs, and I’m sure that her bank account wouldn’t feel pillaged by an additional set of nursery fees. The almighty chaos that children bring probably doesn’t overpower Rihanna’s day, and I’m sure that she has people on call to help when toddlers errantly wee throughout the house, put small objects in their ear canals, or cover themselves in Vaseline.
