Rihanna is 'shockingly feeling okay' during her third pregnancy
In a separate interview with Entertainment Tonight, Rihanna offered more insight into how she’s feeling as she expects her third child.
“Shockingly feeling okay and not too overwhelmed at the moment,” Rihanna said about her pregnancy with A$AP Rocky.
The couple, who have been together for over five years, are already parents to two sons — nearly 3-year-old RZA and 21-month-old Riot.
Reflecting on the early days of her pregnancy, Rihanna added, “At first it was like, Ah. And I'm tired. [But] I'm excited,” during her chat with the station.

Rihanna also touched on her hopes for the future in a November 2024 interview, according to Parade.
She shared that she believed A$AP Rocky and their sons would experience some "karma" if they welcomed a baby girl into their family.
"I certainly feel like, based off what I've seen from little girls, I won't be seeing much of Rocky. Like my niece, she took her dad, and that's her bestie," said Rihanna during the interview.
She then added, "We're not there yet. I'm still learning how to walk again. Like Bambi legs. I'm trying to find my balance with boys. So I'm not there yet."
