The couple—also parents toRZA, 4, andRocki, 10 months—have always made sure their kids feel like the only boy (or girl) in the world for their birthdays.
In fact, theireldest son had the ultimate slime-filled birthday bash in May at the immersive slime experience at New York City’s Sloomoo Institute. Their guests made custom slimes and even had the chance to get slimed. And Rihanna was more than happy to put down her umbrella to join her kids under the slime waterfall.
For Rihanna, 38, being a mom has her feeling beautiful like diamonds in the sky.
“It just kind of highlights about being a woman,” she told E! News in April 2024. “Because I’m the one that can experience all of that in the house—giving birth to them, carrying them, being a partner with Rocky and running the household and the family. It’s new territory, but it’s empowering.”
Meanwhile, A$AP, 37, couldn’t be more thrilled to swing into parenthood with his partner.
“This woman has always been magic,” he toldW Magazinein April. “Philosophically, the way she operates is on another level. She is the most charming and genuine person on Earth. Her energy is unmatched—one of a kind.”
As he put it, “I just adore her.”
