THE RUNDOWN

• Rihanna and A$AP Rocky spoke to Entertainment Tonight at The Smurfs’ Belgian premiere about their third baby.
• Both Rocky and Rihanna played coy when asked if they’re having a girl.
• Rocky spoke about how big they want their family to be, while Rihanna confirmed they’ve made one big decision about their baby’s name.

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky did more than deliver a major fashion moment at the Belgian premiere of The Smurfs on Saturday. The couple spoke with Entertainment Tonight and opened up a bit about their expanding family. Rihanna, who is expecting their third child, playfully revealed she doesn’t know if she’ll be having a baby girl. Rocky and Rihanna have two sons, 3-year-old RZA and 1-year-old Riot, who will turn two in August.

The reporter asked, “Is this the girl that you’ve been waiting for?”

“Let’s see if it’s a Smurfette!” she teased.

“You know!” he exclaimed.

“No,” she said. “Could be a Papa Smurf. Who knows!” She did confirm her child will have an R name though: “It’s always going to be an R name. That’s the one thing me and Rocky don’t fight over.”

The reporter also asked Rocky whether baby number three is the girl they’ve been waiting for. He played coy, too. “It is, man, it is,” he said, raising a Smurfette plushie to dodge the question. “You know what I’m saying? Right here.”

He kept joking when asked how big their family might get. “We’re going to be like the Wayans family [which has 10 siblings], you know?” Then he added more seriously, “I mean love is beautiful, and it’s just spreading it, you know?”

In February 2023, Rihanna spoke about how many children she’d like to have in a British Vogue interview. “Listen, I’m down for whatever,” she said. “My wish would be I would like to have more kids but whatever God wants for me, I’m here.”
