Rihanna is looking back at her pregnancy with baby No. 3, daughter Rocki Irish Mayers.
The “Pon de Replay” singer celebrated her native Barbados’ 59th anniversary of independence with a carousel of photos posted to Instagram on Sunday, November 30, and included an intimate snap from her pregnancy.
In the picture, Rihanna, 37, is seen walking barefoot beside an outdoor swimming pool with her sons, RZA, 3, and Riot, 2, while clad in a red bikini top.
In another snap, Rihanna can be seen showing off a baby bump while clad in a green two-piece bikini. Behind her is an idyllic Bajan scene with palm trees, clear blue skies and the ocean visible in the photo.
Yet another bikini picture shows the star spending some quality family time with one of her sons and her partner, A$AP Rocky. In the pic, Rihanna, in a pink bikini top, is seen looking dotingly at her little one, who is perched on top of his dad. Rocky, meanwhile, is seen lying on the grass propping up his son as the sun beams behind the family.

Rihanna and Rocky, also 37, first revealed they were expecting their third child in May on the day of the 2025 Met Gala, which he co-chaired.
“I’m good. I’m shockingly feeling OK and not too overwhelmed at the moment. I mean, at first it was kinda like, ‘Ah!’ And I’m tired, but then I’m excited,” Rihanna told Entertainment Tonight on the red carpet at the fashion event.
Rocky also gushed about the big news on the red carpet, telling the Associated Press, “It feels amazing, you know. It’s time that we show the people what we was cooking up. And I’m glad everybody’s happy for us ’cause we definitely happy, you know.”
In a September Elle magazine profile, Rocky said he hoped he and Rihanna were having a girl after previously welcoming two sons.
“I hope it’s a girl. I really do. We’re praying for a girl. Our first time, we wanted to know the sex of the baby. The second time, we didn’t want to know. Third time, we don’t want to know until, you know,” he said.
“I feel like it’s going to be a girl. This pregnancy is so different from the other two. You can tell from the experience. I hope it’s a baby girl, man. I need that,” Rocky said in the interview, which was conducted before Rocki’s birth.

In October, the proud dad again gushed over his little girl.
“My daughter. That’s my favorite thing I created this year,” Rocky told Complex. “Shout out to Rocki Irish, man.”
In February, Rihanna praised her man, telling Harper’s Bazaar that the “greatest thing” about Rocky is “seeing him be a dad.”
“His pureness. His charm,” she said. “I’m annoyed because my sons sometimes just live for him more than they live for me. And I’m like, ‘Did you know who cooked you? Do you know who pushed you out?’ And they love him, but when I see it, oh, it’s the best.”
