Rihanna’s Glorious Tribute to Motherhood on International Women’s Day
On International Women’s Day, Rihanna, the pop sensation and Fenty Beauty mogul, took to Instagram to celebrate the profound experience of motherhood, sharing intimate delivery room photos of her two sons, RZA and Riot Rose. With a playful caption that declared her sons as “my little miracles,” Rihanna reflected on the strength and transformation that comes with bringing new life into the world. Sporting pearls and pink sunglasses during her deliveries—because why not?—she quipped, “And yes I gave birth in pearls and sunglasses…don’t ask, a lot was happening.”
Rihanna, 37, has been open about her journey into motherhood since welcoming RZA, now 2, and Riot, 19 months, with her partner A$AP Rocky. The couple has been together since 2020, and their family dynamic seems to be thriving, with Rihanna previously expressing that she feels her family is now complete after the birth of Riot. A source close to the star revealed, “She loves being a mom, so this is where her mind is at the moment.” Indeed, the singer has consistently praised the joys of motherhood, once describing it as “legendary.”
In her candid interviews, Rihanna has stated that motherhood has fundamentally changed her perspective on life. In a 2021 cover story for British Vogue, she remarked, “You really don’t remember life before… that’s the craziest thing ever.” She elaborated on how becoming a mother reshapes one’s identity and priorities, making it nearly impossible to recall a time without her children.
Moreover, Rihanna doesn’t shy away from acknowledging A$AP Rocky’s role as a devoted father. In a February interview with Harper’s Bazaar, she playfully lamented that their sons seem to prefer their dad at times, jokingly reminding them, “Did you know who cooked you? Do you know who pushed you out?” This banter reflects the warmth and humor that permeates their family life, making it clear that while motherhood is a priority for Rihanna, she also cherishes the balance they share as partners in parenting.
As we celebrate powerful women on this special day, Rihanna’s heartfelt tribute serves as a reminder of the strength found in motherhood and the joy it can bring, showing that even superstars are not immune to the trials and tribulations of parenthood.
