Pop star Rihanna has welcomed her third child, a girl, with her partner A$AP Rocky. The baby has been given her father's stage name.
Rocki Irish Mayers was born on September 13, the singer announced in an Instagram post, sharing a photo of herself cuddling her daughter along with a photo of miniature pink boxing gloves.
The couple, who also have two sons, Riot and RZA, announced Rihanna's latest pregnancy at this year's Met Gala. Fans rejoiced at the birth announcement on social media, with the post garnering more than 5 million likes in two hours.
A few weeks ago, the famous Barbados-born singer, whose real name is Robyn Fenty, also celebrated the 20th anniversary of the release of her first album. The news was met with congratulations from fans and requests for her next project. It's been a little less than a decade since her last album, Anti.

During this time, Rihanna has launched numerous businesses, including her popular cosmetics line Fenty Beauty and a lingerie company. The 37-year-old's net worth is estimated by Forbes at over $1 billion.
When the fashion and beauty mogul debuted her pregnancy on the Met Gala blue carpet in May, she wore a dress tailored to her growing belly.
"It's time to show people what we've been cooking," Rihanna told reporters.
The "Diamonds" hitmaker has announced her previous pregnancies in similar style. In 2023, she revealed the news of her second child while performing at the Super Bowl halftime show, wearing a red jumpsuit.
The news of their first child isn't the first time they've made headlines this year. In February, A$AP Rocky was found not guilty of shooting an ex-girlfriend in a trial that saw Rihanna bring her two sons to court.
