Global superstar Rihanna has sent fans into a frenzy after hinting she might be open to expanding her family once more. The comment came in response to a social media post about future life choices, sparking immediate speculation and a wave of humorous pleas from followers desperate for new music.
A Playful Hint on Instagram
Former Love Island contestant Montana Brown, 30, shared a light-hearted video to Instagram on Sunday, pondering her plans for the year 2026. The caption over the clip read: 'Deciding to get hot and sexy or get pregnant in 2026.' Rihanna, 37, swiftly responded in the comments section, writing: 'Wait! So I'm not crazy then? Bet!'
This seemingly playful agreement with the idea of a future pregnancy has been widely interpreted as the singer and business mogul signalling her own openness to having another child. Rihanna and her partner, rapper A$AP Rocky, also 37, are already parents to three young children. They welcomed their third child, a daughter named Rocki, on September 13, 2024. Their family also includes two sons: RZA, born in May 2022, and Riot, who arrived in August 2023.
Fans Plead for New Music Instead
The singer's comment was met with an avalanche of replies from fans, who quickly redirected the conversation towards her long-awaited musical comeback. Rihanna's last studio album, Anti, was released in 2016, and her followers are growing increasingly impatient for new material.
The comment section was flooded with messages like: 'Girl the only thing you need to be popping out is that album PLZZZZZZ' and '@badgalriri we vote for hot sexy and album release.' Another fan wrote, 'Need to be pregnant with an album sis,' while others subtly expressed hope her big 2026 decision would be about 'which state you're going to start the tour.'
Embracing the Joys of Motherhood
This social media moment follows recent emotional reflections from Rihanna about her life as a mother. In an interview with Extra, she gushed over her children's rapid development. 'The babies are amazing. They're all getting bigger, and I cannot take it,' she said. 'My sons - oh, my God! - their faces are changing. Their necks are getting longer. I love it.'
A$AP Rocky echoed her sentiments, describing their children as 'cute as ever' and expressing pleasant surprise at how well their two older boys are getting along. He acknowledged occasional jealousy towards their newborn sister but emphasised the overall loving dynamic in their household.
In a 2023 interview with Vogue, Rihanna described motherhood as 'everything' and called Rocky her 'best friend.' She revealed the profound impact having children has had on her worldview, stating that raising a young Black man is one of the 'scariest responsibilities in life.' Despite the challenges, she insisted parenthood has only strengthened her bond with Rocky, calling them 'best friends with a baby.'
The couple's relationship accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic, which Rihanna told Interview magazine 'sped up' their comfort with one another. She expressed unwavering confidence in Rocky as a father from the outset, saying, 'I knew he would be a great dad.' When asked about her family's future size, Rihanna has previously said she is open to having 'as many as God wants me to have.'
