Gotham/GC Images/Getty ImagesAccording to reports from People, Rihanna is expecting her first child with partner A$AP Rocky. The singer has yet to confirm the pregnancy and a representative did not immediately respond to Rolling Stone‘s request for comment.
Celebrity photographer Diggzy was the first to get the news circulating this morning with a photo of the singer’s rounded belly posted to his Instagram page with the caption “SHE IS!” People then shared additional photos from the wintery shoot taken during the snowfall this past weekend in Harlem, New York.
Rihanna appears in the photos in an open pink jacket showing off her bump, accessorized with a jewel-encrusted golden cross.
Fans on social media have been speculating that the multi-hyphenate performer was pregnant as recently as last week when Rihanna surprised employees at a Sephora in midtown Manhattan wearing an oversized orange coat. TikTok users took to dissecting the video from how she walked to the way she leaned forward to hug the workers.
Speaking with British Vogue in 2020, Rihanna revealed she anticipates having three or four children within 10 years. The interview pre-dated her high-profile relationship with Rocky.
“I feel like society makes me want to feel like, ‘Oh, you got it wrong…’ They diminish you as a mother if there’s not a dad in your kids’ lives,” she shared, admitting that having a partner isn’t really a necessity to raising a child. “But the only thing that matters is happiness, that’s the only healthy relationship between a parent and a child.”
Maroon 5 officially launched the second weekend of American Express presents BST Hyde Park with a headline performance on London's Great Oak Stage on Friday, 3 July 2026. Taking a short break from their ongoing global Love Is Like tour, the multi-platinum American pop rock band delivered an energetic sold out concert for thousands of fans. The milestone performance reflected just how far the group has come since making its London debut at the intimate Barfly venue in 2005.
Frontman Adam Levine guided the six member band through an uninterrupted set packed with worldwide hits, kicking things off with "Harder To Breathe" after an opening audio tribute to The Beach Boys. The energy stayed high as the group launched into fan favorites including "Animals" and "One More Night," with Levine making his way along the runway to connect with fans gathered at the front of the stage. As the evening sky over London began to glow, "Sunday Morning" provided one of the night's standout moments, featuring an extended guitar showcase from lead guitarist James Valentine. The audience then joined together for huge singalongs to "She Will Be Loved" and the Cardi B collaboration "Girls Like You." The main performance wrapped up with the instantly recognizable whistle melody of "Moves Like Jagger," before an encore featuring "Payphone" and "Sugar" brought the night to an unforgettable finish.
The main stage also welcomed a crowd pleasing set from pop rock band OneRepublic during the late afternoon. Frontman Ryan Tedder performed a string of beloved hits spanning nearly twenty years, including "Stop and Stare," "Apologize," and the hugely successful European streaming favorite "Counting Stars." He also treated fans to a solo medley highlighting songs he has written for artists including Beyoncé and Adele.
Earlier in the day, Jess Glynne attracted a huge audience with spirited performances of chart hits "I’ll Be There" and "Hold My Hand," while R&B singer Ella Eyre impressed with powerful renditions of "Space" and a soulful take on "Crazy."
