Despite being parents for nearly six months, the couple has kept their baby’s identity private
Rihanna has opened up about why she and A$AP Rocky have kept their son’s name and photographs private, nearly six months after welcoming their first child together. In a recent interview with the Associated Press, the 34-year-old beauty mogul explained that their hectic schedules have contributed to the delay in sharing details about their baby boy.
“We just haven’t gotten around to it yet,” Rihanna said, reflecting on their quiet approach to parenthood. “We’ve just been living our lives.” She also acknowledged the freedom that comes with keeping certain aspects of her life private.
However, the “Diamonds” singer did mention that her return to the public eye with her headlining Super Bowl halftime show performance comes with its own conditions. “If I’m going to leave my baby, I’m going to leave him for something really special,” Rihanna shared.
Rihanna and the 34-year-old rapper welcomed their baby in May. The couple first revealed their pregnancy during a photoshoot in Harlem, New York, in January, where Rihanna showed off her baby bump in a pink puffer jacket.
Despite the secrecy surrounding their son’s name, the couple’s choice to remain private is a personal one. Rihanna reflected on how the public often tries to guess the baby’s name, noting that some have taken a guess, like “Wolf”, but that wasn’t the name they chose.
In an earlier interview, Kylie Jenner shared that she and her partner were considering a name change for their son, but refrained from offering any hints about the new name.
