Earlier this year, a source close to the situation stated that Rihanna and Rocky are “thrilled to be growing their family.”

“Rihanna has always wanted a big family, so she couldn’t be more excited. Rihanna and Rocky are thrilled to be growing their family and they can’t wait to give their boys another sibling,” the insider told People.

“They wanted to have their children close together in age, so that they could grow up together and share a close bond,” the insider added.

“They feel so blessed and are so grateful for this next chapter in their lives. It’s a very special time.”

Rihanna revealed in a 2022 interview that she thought she would get married and then have kids — but she’s perfectly happy with the way things worked out!

“I always thought it would be marriage first, then a baby, but who the f— says it has to be that way,” she told Vogue at the time.

“I’m certainly not gonna let that get in the way of me being a mom.”

Maybe Rihanna and Rocky will get married in the year ahead. Or maybe not.

Whatever the case, it sounds like the parents of three couldn’t be happier!
