Rihanna is pregnant, the star’s representative has confirmed to People and The Hollywood Reporter. During her long-awaited return performance at the 2023 Super Bowl Halftime Show, she floated above Arizona’s State Farm Stadium in an outfit that revealed her baby bump. She’s the first pregnant woman to headline the Super Bowl Halftime Show.
A$AP Rocky, the father of Rihanna’s first child born in May 2022, was in the stadium watching Rihanna’s performance tonight. She performed songs from across her discography—hits including “Diamonds,” “Umbrella,” “Run This Town,” “Work,” “Bitch Better Have My Money,” and more. She wasn’t joined by any guests during the set. Rihanna returned last year with “Lift Me Up” and “Born Again,” her contributions to Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and her first new music since the period surrounding her 2016 album ANTI.
