Rihanna and A$AP Rocky Teases Possible Name for His and Rihanna’s Third Baby Ahead Of Due Date
A$AP Rocky gave a rare peek into his growing family’s future as he and Rihanna prepare for baby number three. During an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, seated next to fashion icon Anna Wintour, the rapper was pressed about their children’s names. With Riot and RZA already setting an ‘R’ theme, Meyers asked whether the couple plans to keep the streak going with their next child.
Rocky answered without pause—“For sure,” he said—suggesting their next child’s name might follow the same ‘R’ tradition. But that choice could clash with a lighthearted request from his attorney, Joe Tacopina, who’s been campaigning for the name A$AP Joe.
After securing Rocky’s acquittal in a widely publicized shooting case, Tacopina quipped, “They grabbed me and they said, ‘Listen, our next baby is A$AP Joe.’” He’s since joked that he plans to hold them to it.

Rihanna debuted her pregnancy with trademark flair at the Met Gala on May 5, making a late entrance in a sweeping, head-turning look that subtly emphasized her growing bump. Without a word to the press, she posed with calm confidence, gently cradling her stomach as cameras snapped away.
A$AP Rocky, serving as the evening’s co-chair, took a moment on the red carpet to speak on their growing family. “It is time to just show the people what we were cooking up,” he said. “I’m glad everybody’s happy for us because we’re definitely happy.”
The news of Rihanna and A$AP Rocky expecting their third child sparked instant excitement, underscored by the singer’s long-standing admiration for Rocky’s role as a father. In an interview with Access Hollywood, she expressed, “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 warmly about the deep connection their children share with Rocky, who often becomes the center of their world, while joking that she’s happily taken on the role of the quiet anchor in the background.
The couple is about to welcome their newest addition, and with it, the next ‘R’ name that will carry forward a tradition now firmly rooted in their family’s legacy.
