The Diamonds hitmaker already shares sons RZA, 2, and Riot, 10 months, with her boyfriend A$AP Rocky, 35.

Most recently, Rihanna was spotted out in New York City wearing a questionable outfit, keeping her midsection covered.

The singer wore a light grey tank with a lacy bra peeking out underneath, which she paired with black pants.

The most noticeable details, however, were the winter coat she had on and the Louis Vuitton purse she held in front of her stomach.

She also rocked her natural curly short hair, along with sunglasses and accessories as she walked around on the hot day.

On X, formerly Twitter, fans questioned why Rihanna would wear such a heavy jacket during a summer day and insisted she was covering up a pregnancy.

“Rihanna pregnant again. Why she got on that coat in 80 degree weather in New York???” one person asked alongside the photos.

“Ntm on rihanna [laugh emoji] pregnancy can cause hair thinning/loss smh it happened to my mom. and she been pregnant for YEARS,” a second tweeted.

“I just knew Rihanna was pregnant again the way she kept covering her belly,” said another.

“Rihanna, mamas are you pregnant again?? Why are you hiding that stomach like that??” someone else asked.

Fans have been speculating a possible pregnancy as Rihanna has potentially been dropping clues over the past few months.

The songstress also kept her previous pregnancies under wraps, fueling speculation even further.

BUMPIN’ IN THE BIG APPLE?

Last week, Rihanna sparked speculation after she was seen covering her stomach again while out in NYC.

The Love on the Brain singer wore a shirt that said, “I’m Retiring,” which she quickly covered with a green purse as she headed into a car.

She paired the look with a form-fitting long skirt and sneakers, keeping her look comfortable and casual.

Fans quickly questioned why she seemingly used the bag to cover her stomach instead of placing it on her shoulder.

Days before, she was seen rocking an oversized zebra-print coat for a night in NYC with her girls.

The Fenty Beauty founder fully covered her midsection in the fleece jacket, which she kept fully closed when photographed.

Along with other dynamic accessories, such as a gold headpiece and diamond necklaces, Rihanna also carried a black handbag — which she kept placed in front of her body.

Last month, the singer was spotted in the Big Apple once more while covering up in another fur jacket with A$AP by her side.

She opted for a satin corset top and baggy jeans, which she matched with the fuzzy grey jacket.

Rihanna also made sure to keep the items in her hands placed in front of her as well, as one photo caught her with her hand over her belly.

PREGNANCY CLUES

While the singer may have just welcomed her son in August of last year, speculation around a third pregnancy began in early 2024.

As Rihanna spent time in Milan, Italy in February, she was photographed leaving a private airport in another questionable look.

She opted for a loose-fitting outfit that was covered by a gray jacket, which ruffled around her midsection.

It appeared that she may have been attempting to distract attention from her stomach, as she was also seen wearing a “Birthday Girl” crown.

One month later, some fans believed Rihanna was showing signs of a new pregnancy during a performance in India.

While singing at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s pre-wedding party, she opted for a form-fitting, green gown with a high slit that clung to her curves.

After a clip was shared online, fans were certain they could see a small baby bump in the tight outfit.

A lingerie shoot for Savage X Fenty in April showed the singer wearing a beige bodysuit as she posed in front of a satin curtain.

She used the curtain, however, to fully cover up her stomach as she only showed off the top part of the garment.

Other photos in the shoot showed the artist lying down on her side, with Savage X Fenty-branded fabric perfectly bunched to hide her midsection.

OTHER WILDCARDS

Along with potentially keeping her baby bump a secret, fans have picked up on other potential clues from the singer.

One came as she debuted a shorter “mom” haircut earlier this year, which featured shaggy blonde bangs and layers around her face.

Others noticed a possible hint after she posted photos taken for her Vogue China April cover issue on Instagram.

Followers who weren’t distracted by her bright nails noticed the gold ring she was wearing, which featured the word, “Mom.”
