Billionaire singer and entrepreneur, Rihanna, has shared her candid thoughts on the joys and challenges of motherhood, describing being a “boy mom” as an “Olympic sport.” The 36-year-old mother of two made the statement while posting a video clip of her first son, RZA, attempting to escape from his baby cot on her X (formerly Twitter) account.
In the video, RZA is seen making several determined but unsuccessful attempts before finally freeing himself. Rihanna humorously captioned the video, “Being a boy mom is an Olympic sport ♀️♀️.”
Rihanna and her partner, rapper A$AP Rocky, welcomed their first child, RZA, on May 19, 2022, shortly after making their relationship public. The couple expanded their family in August 2023, with the birth of their second son, Riot Ross.
Earlier this year, rumors circulated about Rihanna expecting her third child, which she swiftly denied in a chat with ET. However, the Grammy-winning artist did express her desire for more children, saying she would “definitely” love to have more.
In a previous interview with Interview Magazine, Rihanna revealed that she had been hoping for a daughter but was blessed with two boys so far. “I don’t know what God wants, but I would go for more than two. I would try for my girl. But of course, if it’s another boy, it’s another boy,” she said, showing her openness to expanding her family, regardless of gender.
Rihanna’s honest and relatable take on motherhood continues to resonate with fans around the world, as she balances life as a global superstar, business mogul, and devoted mother.
