Rihanna’s Two Sons Make a Surprise Red Carpet Debut—In Dior Men, No Less

The singer, who is currently expecting her third child, shares the boys with A$AP Rocky.

The Gist

  • RZA and Riot, the two sons of Rihanna and A$AP Rocky, made their joint red carpet debut together on July 13 at the L.A. premiere of Smurfs.
  • Rihanna not only stars in the movie as the voice of Smurfette, but she also recorded a song for the film’s soundtrack.
  • Rihanna is currently pregnant with her third child, who she has said definitively will also have a name that begins with an “R.”

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s two sons RZA, 3, and Riot, 23 months, had a big Sunday night alongside their glamorous mother.

The two boys also marked a milestone on July 13 as they attended the Smurfs premiere in Los Angeles: it was the first time that the two jointly attended a red carpet together. Dressed in Dior Men, the two were on the arm of Rihanna, who voices Smurfette in the movie (which comes out July 18). A highlight of the evening on Sunday? RZA and Riot got the chance to meet Papa Smurf.

Rihanna, of course, is currently expecting her third child with A$AP Rocky, revealed at the Met Gala back in May. She, too, made a fashion-forward appearance on the red carpet, wearing a chocolate brown Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello look with a lingerie-inspired lace-trim top and ball gown-style skirt, which she paired with a matching leather jacket. At the Smurfs premiere in Brussels, Belgium on June 28, Rihanna had Rocky on her arm; for that occasion, she wore a Chanel ensemble that accentuated her baby bump.

At that same premiere, Rihanna told Entertainment Tonight that, when it comes to their third child (or, it seems, any child thereafter, should that be the case), “It’s always going to be an ‘R’ name,” she said. “That’s the one thing me and Rocky don’t fight over.”

Rocky seemed to take details about the family’s new addition a step further, hinting to Entertainment Tonight that he and Rihanna are expecting a baby girl: “Is that the girl you’ve been waiting for?” co-host Kevin Frazier asked the rapper, to which Rocky responded, “It is, man, it is.”

In a quick-on-his-feet save, Rocky then held up a Smurfette toy—who Rihanna plays in the film—and added, “Right here, right here,” to which Frazier replied, “You know what I’m asking!” as Rocky laughed.

“Rihanna and Rocky couldn’t be more thrilled to be growing their family again with baby number three,” a source told People. “They’ve really embraced this chapter, and their bond has only deepened since becoming parents.”

The rapper “has been incredibly attentive and nurturing throughout this pregnancy,” the insider added. “He’s so hands-on with RZA and Riot, changing diapers, doing bedtime routines, and keeping them entertained so Rihanna can rest. He’s completely tuned into her needs.”

This includes “bringing her late night cravings when she’s in the mood or creating little ways for her to unwind,” they added. “He’ll run her baths, massage her feet, and take care of things around the house so she doesn’t have to lift a finger.”

“This pregnancy feels especially meaningful because they’ve grown so much together as partners and parents,” the source continued, adding that “Rocky is Rihanna’s biggest cheerleader. He always makes her laugh—he keeps things light and full of love. They both prioritize their family time above everything, and it’s clear this is what matters most to them.”
