We accept Rihanna for everything she is, but she’s hardly a shrinking wallflower. Since shooting to fame in 2005 at the age of just 16, after an audition at Jay-Z’s Def Jam Records saw her leave with a six album record deal, we’ve been witness to the highs and lows of the multi-award-winning artist’s life: her relationships, her holidays and, of course, her chart-topping career highlights. But since becoming a mum – Rihanna gave birth to a son with partner A$AP Rocky back in May – the global star has a bit of a different outlook on what she’s willing to share.
A source spoke to Entertainment Tonight about how welcoming their son has changed the couple and their stance on fame. Rihanna and Rocky, notably, have not shared his name or any photos of their son since the birth and this is largely down to the fact that they are keen to just “enjoy” their life as a three.
“They’re keeping things low-key so they can enjoy their little family,” the source said. “Privacy has become increasingly important to the couple. When it was just the two of them, they’d go out all hours of the day and night and interact with fans. Now, with the baby, they’re a little more protective.”
The source also added that while the Fenty Beauty founder is on maternity leave right now and focusing on her son, she will get back to work in due time. “She’s one of the hardest working people out there, and she can definitely have it all,” the source said. “[She’ll] be a hands-on mom and have an impressive career.”
Eugh, thank gawd.
Though the Umbrella singer’s stance on being in the public eye shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise, as Rihanna did hint during an interview ahead of the birth that protecting her child’s privacy would be a priority. Speaking to Elle for their March 2022 issue, Rihanna discussed which of the Real Housewives mums had most inspired her, which led her to open up about how far she’ll go to protect her baby.
“Teresa [Giudice] from Jersey does not play about her kids,” Rihanna said at the time. “She will flatten you about those kids. And that resonates with me a lot because I feel like that’s the type of mom I’m going to be. Psycho about it.”
“You talk about my kids, it’s over.”
We hear you loud and clear, RiRi, you’re a mother not to be messed with.
