Rihanna‘s promised ‘surprise guest’ during her comeback performance at the Super Bowl LVII Halftime Show has proven to be baby No. 2.
The singer’s highly anticipated performance took place at the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona on Sunday evening (February 12). As promised during her Apple Music press conference on Thursday (February 9), the show consisted of a medley of songs from all but her debut album.
Immediately following the performance, however, Rihanna fans began speculating as to whether the noticeable change in the singer’s appearance was in fact a baby bump. The questions were bolstered by the fact that, just days ahead of the performance, RiRi told CBS News’ Nate Burleson that she was “thinking about bringing someone” when he asked if her performance would involve a guest.
Within minutes of the end of the Apple Music Halftime Show, Rihanna’s representative confirmed that she is expecting her second child in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter.
Rihanna and partner A$AP Rocky are parents to a 9-month-old son, whose name they have yet to share with the public. The couple shared the first snaps of their baby in December to avoid having paparazzi leak unauthorized photos of the family taken during a planned photo shoot.
On December 17, Rihanna posted the first video fans have seen of her baby boy to her TikTok page. The clip sees the baby smiling, laughing and cooing as he reaches for his mother’s phone.
Confirming the video’s authenticity, RiRi can be heard talking to her baby as he sits in his car seat. “Oooh,” she says, reacting to the infant smiling. “You trying to get mommy phone? Oh wow!”
Hollywood Unlocked also obtained three exclusive photos of the baby, with A$AP Rocky hiding his face behind his son in two of the snaps, and one shot of the little boy alone.
One pic appeared to have been taken in a nursery, with Rocky holding his little boy as he’s dressed in just a diaper and a burping cloth over his head. The other father-and-son shot was seemingly captured while the family were out and about. In it, the baby wears leather shorts and a fuzzy sweater while being held by his dad’s bejeweled hands.
During an interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe last month, Lord Pretty Flacko spoke about how big of a spectacle he expected superstar girlfriend’s return to the stage to be.
“Oh man, I’m just as excited as you guys — if not more,” Rocky said while laughing. “I’m super excited. This is huge, this is incredible. I’m so glad that my lady is back making music again and what not, and getting back out there, you know?”
He continued: “It’s incredible, especially for both of us. It’s a good year for both of us to be more active and be out there. But the Super Bowl is huge. The creative that she is, she’s going to bring it, man.”
The halftime show marked Rihanna’s first appearance at the Super Bowl and her first major performance since the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards, where she delivered a career-spanning medley of hits to coincide with her winning the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award.

I always thought Rhianna didn’t like us “DARKIES” ,i.e Dark skinned Ngaz bkz b4 Flacko I have NEVER In her what 20+ year career EVER seen her dating not one Dark skinned Black Man/Brotha on God. She’s always chased after them light skin pretty boy type mfz, or non BM facts! I guess they wouldn’t give her no babies & she was running out of time most likely lol. And ASAP just happened to have the cosmetic/genetic looks she approved of & just had to take the L on wanting a light skin, YT looking child ahah lmao smh. ASAP Is now Rhianna’s “Wife Husband” ahaha. U know how these half BI/Ghay, woke liberalist Ngaz are these modern days & times where MEN want to be women & women believe they are Men lol YEah, but she’s wack for not EVER dating a DArk skin Black Man until she allowed all the lightskin, non blk& YT boys run thru her azz. Hoepfully Rocky Iz playing the “Long game” & Is trying to get in that byetch 1.8 Billion dollar net worth. <

holy shit is anyone read this and didn’t have their brain scrambled is a savant. no chance this guy even seen a high school. TYPE LIKE A NORMAL HUMAN. YOU ARE NOT ON THE CORNER.
Dude, shut the fuck up. Talking about us dark skinned brothers like you had a chance with this woman, lmao.
Gayest most insecure rant I seen today
And yet Silent Partner seems to think he has a chance with her. Your emotions towards her are making you look like a bitch.

I’m married dummy. I know you learned everything you know on the internet, but complimenting a woman doesn’t mean you’re owed sex with her.
Then quit acting like a bitch please Silent Partner. If anyone is full of estrogen it’s you. You’re getting sooo butt hurt over anyone saying something about someone you don’t know. Shit is weak bro.
Pointing out that you’re a punk bitch is hardly getting butt hurt.
I really wish that made sense. Keep trying.
Anyone else think it’s funny how this Silent_Partner dude is all caught up in his feelings for a celebrity? I feel embarrassed for him. Why does he keep talking about testosterone and estrogen levels? Shit has gotten real weird.
Bro I was just thinking the same thing silent partners father. Real talk.
who tf cares honestly, these celebrities acting like they’re giving birth to a royal heir….talk about narcissism. Won’t be long before we’re seeing a dude do a baby reveal on stage LOL

I can’t stand this fucking cunt….
Imagine the losers who attack this fine ass woman because a fat old man told them to, lol. What a time to be alive. Men used to put superfluous bullshit to the side to look at fine women. Now, dudes be like I wonder what her political beliefs are and if my Youtube heroes or the people I like in politics like her.
She real fine
Bro, shut up with the celebrity worship. You make fun of people for worshipping one person, while simultaneously worshipping another. She’s just another Satanist pop star, nothing special.
Calling a woman fine is celebrity worship, lmao. Oh boy. They definitely put something in the water to reduce the testosterone in men. Bitches like you walking around on their period like hoes these days.
She’s not gonna f ck u bro, stop white knighting her
This is a fact.
Again, another estrogen filled dude talking about a woman fucking you because you say they’re fine. Donald Trump isn’t going to let you suck his dick either. It’s the only reason you’re complaining.
Silent Panther really out here defending Rihanna like she’s even going to give him a dollar for acknowledging her. I haven’t seen someone simp this hard since Drake. Even Chris Brown would tell you to be a man and find your balls
Why she gets the praise for her looks is beyond me. She is by no means ugly, but aside from her eyes and being light skin, which is a big thing for a lot of americans, shes just the girl next door. I know looks are subjective but she is crazy overhyped with her sex/looks image. Her being pregnant gives her a pass as to why she moved like a sloth. Mediocre performance and great advertising for her and her second baby.
Because the men like us without sugar in our tank can admit that she is a bad motherfucker. Broad just oozes sexuality. I know you gay guys can’t relate. Mofo in here talking about her forehead and shit like her body isn’t banging. If she doesn’t make you hard, something is wrong with your testosterone levels. Gay dues be critiquing women like other women do, lol. The feminzation of America.
God damn dude. You really love some Rihanna. You’re defending her like she’s your wife. You sound stupid.
I love all fine women. I’m married to one. I know you gay men can’t relate. You sit around playing the dozens with women like you’re in elementary school still, relating to hating ass women because that’s what they do. We real men are like damn, that’s a bad bitch. It’s like the dudes who were complaining about J-Lo and Shakira. Like you really got issues as a man if you couldn’t sit there and watch those two shake their asses and be fine.
Real mean don’t refer to woman, especially their own, as bitch. Why are you lusting over women shaking their asses like some high school guy? As i previously stated, she is not ugly. She just isn’t as fine as a lot of people make her out to be IMO.
I’m not aware of “real men” who defend a celebrity crush soooo hard. Oh wait, I forgot, I have low testosterone!!!!
It’s okay to be sweet. Be free.
Entitled to that opinion, because I never thought Julia Roberts, Cher, Madonna, Taylor Swift or most of them white hoes America shoves down our throat were ever attractive either. Super regular.
Boring, lip-synced baby reveal was what this was. The last 2 with Dre & co and the Weeknd were far better.
Nobody cared , boring performance
Silent Partner is too funny. Don’t think Ive ever seen anyone get so caught up in their feelings for a celebrity. Please keep commenting silent partner. This has been entertaining.
