Rihanna and A$AP Rocky Share First-Ever Pics with Baby Riot Rose

It's a family affair

Power couple Rihanna and A$AP Rocky are finally giving fans a first look at their newborn son, Riot Rose.

The proud parents, who welcomed their second child in August, introduced the newborn in a series of stunning family photos that feature Rihanna (35), Rocky (34), and their 1-year-old son, RZA.

On Instagram, celebrity photographer Miles Diggs posted a snap of the family posing outdoors. Rocky is seen holding Riot as he leans against a car. Diggs wrote, "It’s a FAMILY thing. Welcome to the World, Riot Rose."

In the pic, RiRi is posing alongside her husband while RZA clings to her leg. One fan commented, "THE ROYAL FAM." Another said, "What a beautiful family."

This marks the first time they've posed together as a family of four. In the other photos (see them here), Rihanna is holding Riot while Rocky happily carries RZA on his shoulders. Another pic shows both parents admiring the newborn as he lies on a blanket.

Rihanna and Rocky welcomed their first child, RZA, in May 2022. And since then, she's been quite open about her experience with motherhood.

In an interview with British Vogue, Rihanna said, "Having a kid honestly unlocks another side of life where you're now in the matrix with the people who've already had kids. You come to have a different respect for moms and dads."

"Everything changes when you have a baby," she continued. "It's everything. You really don't remember life before, that's the craziest thing ever. You literally try to remember it—and there are photos of my life before—but the feeling, the desires, the things that you enjoy, everything, you just don't identify with it because you don't even allow yourself mentally to get that far because it doesn't matter."
