Rihanna Shares Intimate Delivery Room Photos with Her Two Kids to Celebrate International Women’s Day
Rihanna marked International Women’s Day by sharing a heartfelt tribute to motherhood. On Saturday, March 8, the Fenty Beauty founder, 37, posted two candid photos on Instagram, capturing the moments just after she welcomed her sons—RZA, now 2, and Riot Rose, 19 months—into the world.
“By far the most powerful thing I’ve ever done as a woman… my little miracles! #InternationalWomensDay,” she captioned the post. The first image features her holding RZA, while the second captures the moment after Riot Rose’s birth.
The delivery room snapshots showcase Rihanna’s signature style even during childbirth—wearing a gold necklace and pearls when welcoming RZA and sporting a pair of pink sunglasses after giving birth to Riot Rose.
“And yes, I gave birth in pearls and sunglasses… don’t ask, a lot was happening,” she joked in the caption.
Rihanna’s Love for Motherhood
Rihanna shares her two sons with her partner A$AP Rocky, whom she has been with since 2020. She has frequently expressed how much she cherishes being a mother.
Following RZA’s birth, she graced the cover of British Vogue alongside Rocky and their then-infant son. The cover image captured a touching family moment—Rocky lovingly kissing their baby while Rihanna walked beside them.
In the accompanying interview, Rihanna described motherhood as “legendary.” She reflected, “It’s everything. You really don’t remember life before—that’s the craziest thing ever. You literally try to remember it, and there are photos of my life before, but the feeling, the desires, the things you enjoyed—everything—you just don’t identify with it anymore.”
Growing Their Family
Rihanna revealed her second pregnancy during her 2023 Super Bowl halftime show performance, and Riot Rose was born in August of that year.
A source told PEOPLE at the time, “Rihanna feels her family is now complete. It’s something she’s always wanted. She loves being a mom, so this is where her focus is right now.”
A$AP Rocky’s Role as a Father
A$AP Rocky has been a devoted father, and Rihanna has publicly praised him for it. In a February Harper’s Bazaar interview, she called watching him as a dad “the greatest thing.”
However, she jokingly admitted that sometimes their kids seem to favor their dad. “I’m annoyed because my sons sometimes just live for him more than they live for me,” she said. “And I’m like, ‘Do you know who cooked you? Do you know who pushed you out?’ And they love him, but when I see it—oh, it’s the best.”
Rihanna continues to embrace motherhood with love and humor, celebrating every milestone with her growing family.
