RIHANNA has dropped clues that she’s pregnant with her third child less than a year after the Wild Thoughts singer welcomed her second.
The Fenty founder and her partner, rapper A$AP Rocky, welcomed their first son, RZA Athelaston, 1, in May 2022 and their second son, 7-month-old Riot Rose, in August 2023.

But fans have been keeping a close eye on Rihanna, 36, whether at concert performances or on magazine covers and actively picking up any hint that points to the Grammy-winning artist expecting her third child.
Here are five clues that many fans think prove the music icon is secretly pregnant.
RING THE ALARM
On Tuesday, the Rude Boy singer posted a series of photos taken for her upcoming Vogue China April cover issue on Instagram.
In the photos, Rihanna wore dark red lipstick that perfectly matched her long, carmine-colored nails.
The freshly manicured nails were decorated with tiny blue, purple, green, and yellow plastic flowers.
Also adorning one of her fingers was a gold ring that had been fashioned to read, “Mom.”
In the comment section of her Instagram post, one fan wrote, “Y’all see the ‘mom’ ring?” commenting on the mother of two’s jewelry.
A second fan inquired, “Because is she pregnant AGAIN??”
“She is, she’s having a girl this time,” boldly speculated a third.
Another fan wrote, “Rihanna looks to be pregnant again!!!!,” as they commented on the Guava Island star’s cowboy-inspired outfit.
SKIRTING BY
Rihanna donned a black, embroidered cowboy hat with a matching, Western-style jacket for the Vogue cover shoot.
The black jacket was left open – revealing an equally ornate, flowery bra.
She paired the stetson and the rest of her cowgirl ensemble with an oddly simple black skirt.
The garment appeared to purposely obscure the lower part of her stomach.
The pleated skirt was positioned high on the Don’t Stop the Music singer’s torso which if needed could conceal a growing baby bump.
The pop music artist’s cowboy boots continued the embroidered flower theme with vibrant splashes of color contrasting against the mule ear boot’s black leather.
KAREN CUT

Earlier this month, Rihanna seemed to be settling into a mother-of-three look after she debuted a brand new hairstyle that has some fans questioning if she’ll soon be asking store employees for their manager.
Rihanna was spotted heading to a meeting in Santa Monica, California after announcing Fenty Beauty would soon be available in China.
The beauty mogul rocked a laid-back look consisting of an oversized shirt, a matching blazer, and a pair of baggy jeans.
She also sported a new, blonde, hairstyle.
The haircut featured choppy layers that fell above her shoulders and around her ears and shaggy bangs.
Fans took to Reddit to joke that the Diamonds singer’s new look made her look like a “Karen.”
In the comment thread, one person wrote, “Rhianna would like to speak with your manager! I could get used to it though…”
“It’s giving Florida Woman,” a second Redditor added.
A third fan noted that the look was “kinda giving ‘Karen'” while a fourth asserted, “She is in her Karen era.”
BUMP SIGHTED

In early March, fans believed Rihanna was showing signs of a new pregnancy during a performance in India.
The We Found Love singer performed at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s pre-wedding party.
Rihanna wore a tight-fitting, bright green gown with a high slit that clung to her figure.
A clip of the private concert was posted online where fans were convinced they could see a baby bump in the outfit.
“So, she really is pregnant again?” one person asked.
“I don’t even wanna know how rich you gotta be to book Rihanna and her unborn child bro,” a second commenter joked.
HIDDEN FIGURE

Shortly before the pre-wedding performance, fans wondered if she was pregnant after she was photographed while out in Milan, Italy to celebrate her 36th birthday.
Paparazzi caught Rihanna and A$AP Rocky leaving the Milano Linate private airport.
Rihanna, A$AP, their children, and her close friend Melissa Forde took a trip out of the country to celebrate the singer’s 36th birthday.
Already prepared to celebrate, Rihanna wore a crown that read, “Birthday Girl,” atop her head.
The mom of two donned a baggy outfit, which included a gray jacket that ruffled around her midsection as she left the airport.
The design of the outfit could have been a means for Rihanna to detract attention away from her stomach.
Rumors of Rihanna being pregnant have only gotten more intense on X, formerly Twitter.
“Rihanna pregnant again ain’t it,” one person asked on the social media platform.
Another person wrote,
“Rihanna surprise trip to ULTA Beauty store and slays it with a pregnant pose in front of her own makeup display,” another wrote.
“Fun trip. Rihanna is cool!” they added, attaching a clip of Rihanna at Ulta.
UNDER WRAPS

Rihanna keeping another pregnancy a secret would be par for the course as she kept her pregnancy with Riot under wraps for months.
The baby’s birth in August came after the singer shockingly revealed her pregnancy during her Super Bowl LVII Halftime Show performance.
Rihanna made the announcement by pushing her red suit to the side and rubbing her baby bump.
A source told The U.S. Sun she barely left her new $13.8 million Beverly Hills mansion while she was expecting.
“Rihanna and Rocky moved into their new home in Beverly Hills some time ago,” the insider revealed.
“She’s rarely been out in recent months and managed to hide her baby bump with oversized clothing to keep her pregnancy a secret.
“It was for safety and privacy reasons, they just wanted to be in that bubble together for a while.
“She is in her element and has plenty of support.
The source revealed that Rihanna and A$AP live together “full-time” and that Rihanna “refuses to have a nanny and is a very hands-on mom.”
“Only her mother really cares for her son if she has work or other commitments,” they said.
“She has wanted her own family for so long, and although fans are desperate for new music, it is her main focus right now, but she’s not neglecting her career.”
The source also explained that Rihanna has a “small closed circle of family and friends,” and a group of loyal staff members who have been with her for years and whom she trusts.
And in 2022, she welcomed her first child, but kept quiet about the details, revealing his name, RZA, almost a year after his birth.
