Rihanna Looks Tense As She Caught For The One Time in Public After Devastating Family Tragedy With Loss of Her Father
Rihanna was captured on camera look tense as singer pay visit to Giorgio Baldi restaurant in Santa Monica last night following the death of her father.
The 37-year-old superstar — who is currently pregnant with her and her partner’s third child together — is grieving the loss of her dad Ronald Fenty, who tragically died at the age of 70.
Rihanna’s father reportedly had a brief illness and died in Los Angeles on Saturday, May 31, according to TMZ and the Fenty family’s native Barbados’ Starcom Network.
Rihanna, who is one of the children Ronald shared with ex-wife Monica Braithwaite, has not yet publicly addressed their devastating family tragedy.
But last night, the 37-year-old was seen in public for the first time in loss of her dad, and she looks tense despite conflict between them.
Previously, Rihanna and her father were estranged before they eventually reconciled in recent years.
In 2019, she sued her dad and claimed he capitalized on her business empire.
In her filing, she alleged that his Fenty Management talent firm profited off of her Fenty Beauty line and other trademarked eponymous ventures.
Two years later, she filed to dismiss the lawsuit and had seemingly mended her relationship with him.
In 2023, when Rihanna and Rocky were expecting their second child together, Fenty gushed over his daughter and shared his excitement of becoming a grandfather to another one of their babies.
Fenty shared three children with his ex-wife Braithwaite including Rihanna, Rajad and Rorrey.
Around the time Rihanna’s career in music was taking off in 2002, her parents split up.
In addition to Rihanna, Fenty is survived by his grandchildren including Rihanna and Rocky’s sons RZA, two, Riot Rose, 18 months, and their baby on the way.
He is also survived by his other children Rajad, Rorrey as well as Kandy, Samantha, Jamie and multiple grandchildren.
