Award-winning singer Rihanna has shared her experiences of raising her two sons, Riot and RZA, with her partner ASAP Rocky, expressing her excitement and the unique challenges that come with it.

Speaking with Entertainment Weekly during a recent interview, she noted that she never has a dull moment with her boys.

"I want to have a girl, but I won’t know what to do because I only know about boys so far, but it'd be an adventure," she admitted.

Rihanna described the joyful chaos of having young boys, saying, "The boy energy in my house is the best. It's never a dull moment, and I love when they climb onto chandeliers, and I love it when they are literally so scary that I'm forced to have fun. Them running around and me lifting them up is all fun and exercise. It works out for ASAP, me and our kids."

The couple welcomed their first son, RZA Athelson, on Friday, May 13, 2022, and then in February 2023, the singer announced her pregnancy in the most spectacular way, during her show-stopping performance at the Super Bowl halftime show. She was seen rubbing her stomach and unzipping her outfit to reveal her growing belly, wearing a form-fitting red jumpsuit.

The announcement shocked the world and threw the internet into a frenzy—a happy frenzy—and in August 2023, she gave birth to her super bowl baby at Cedar Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles at 7:41 am. ASAP Rocky and Rihanna stuck to the tradition of naming their kids with the letter R and named their secondborn Riot Rose.
