Here we go again. A$AP Rocky offered a rare glimpse into his and Rihanna’s growing family during a recent appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, hinting at the possible name direction for their third child. Sitting next to fashion icon Anna Wintour, the rapper was asked whether he and Rihanna intend to stick with the “R” theme they’ve established with their sons RZA and Riot.
As you can imagine, Rocky responded quickly and confidently: “For sure,” signaling that the tradition is likely to continue. However, a playful twist came up in the conversation—his lawyer, Joe Tacopina, who represented him in a high-profile legal case, has been humorously lobbying for a different name. Recalling a light-hearted moment, Tacopina said, “They grabbed me and they said, ‘Listen, our next baby is A$AP Joe.’” He’s since joked that he plans to hold them to that promise.
Get this, the pregnancy became public in true Rihanna style when she arrived fashionably late to the Met Gala on May 5. Dressed in a striking, dramatic ensemble that subtly revealed her baby bump, she made no verbal announcement, instead letting the visuals speak for themselves. A$AP Rocky, who co-chaired the event, took a moment to reflect on the momentous occasion. “It is time to just show the people what we were cooking up,” he said. “I’m glad everybody’s happy for us because we’re definitely happy.”
News of their third child was met with enthusiasm from fans, especially following Rihanna’s heartfelt comments about Rocky’s role as a father. Speaking with Access Hollywood, she shared, “I love him differently as a dad. This is major, major like — it’s a turn on. It’s just like, ‘Wow! What a leader, what a great, patient, loving [dad].’” She spoke affectionately about the bond between Rocky and their children, describing how he naturally becomes the center of their world, while she embraces being a steady presence behind the scenes.
As the couple prepares for the next chapter, fans are eager to see whether baby number three will carry on the signature “R” legacy—or if “A$AP Joe” somehow finds its way onto the birth certificate.
