Rihanna is open to having at least one more child with A$AP Rocky — and has a preference on the gender.
The power couple have two sons, RZA (born in May 2022) and Riot (born in August 2023), but RiRi has revealed that she wants her family to grow even more.

During a conversation with her longtime stylist and Interview Magazine editor-in-chief Mel Ottenberg, the Bajan beauty said she wants “as many [kids] as God wants” her to have and would love to give birth to a baby girl.
“I don’t know what God wants, but I would go for more than two,” she said. “I would try for my girl. But of course if it’s another boy, it’s another boy.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Rihanna spoke about her motherhood journey and raising two boys with partner of five years A$AP Rocky.
She revealed that RZA’s first word was “hey,” saying: “I used to try to get his attention all the time, and I would say, ‘Hey, hey, hey.’ And one day he said it back to me in the same melody and I kept singing it and he kept following it over and over again.”

The 36-year-old also praised Rocky as a doting father and said that the COVID-19 lockdown “sped up” their relationship, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
“I felt like god knew we needed because we were going to start a family. And had it not been for COVID, we would’ve taken a lot more time to get comfortable with each other, to even know that we were ready,” she said.

“We didn’t even really talk about [having kids]. There was no denying it. It was the best thing that ever happened to us. It just happened.”
She added: “I let god lead and just let go. Because in previous relationships, I tried and tried and tried my best, and you still feel like it’s not enough.
“So when someone sees you completely, and believes in you, and thinks you’re worthy of being the mother of their kids, it’s a great feeling. I felt the same about him. I knew he would be a great dad.”
Outside of being a parent, Rihanna also briefly discussed her long-awaited new album in the interview, explaining how her creative process has changed in the years since 2016’s ANTI.

“I have a lot of visual ideas,” she said. “It’s weird. My brain is working backward right now. I usually have the music first, and the music leads me into all of these visual opportunities.
“And now I’m having all of these visuals, and I don’t have the songs for them yet, but maybe that’s the key, this time. Maybe the visual ideas are leading me to the songs that I need to make.

“Random ideas, quirky ideas, things that have nothing to do with me at all. I mean, I can’t tell you. The opps is watching.”
