'Being a boy mom is so fun but, candidly, it's just hard to share toys and pacifiers' — Rihanna

By: Shawn
Rihanna couldn't be happier to be the mother of two boisterous sons. After a video of her son RZA attempting to climb out of his playpen went viral last month, the singer/entrepreneur spoke with Access Hollywood about what she's learned from her children with boyfriend rapper A$AP Rocky — they also have a year-old son Riot — and what it's been like adjusting to full-time motherhood.

"It's fun, literally, I enjoy it so much," remarked the singer, who hasn't released a new album since 2016's Anti. "I'm simply staring at them and living through them, and I'm astonished by each new discovery they make, even their boundaries. They're teaching me how to be their mother just as much as I'm teaching them how to navigate this world and guide them as best I can."

Rihanna, who is also an older sibling, described RZA's adjustment to becoming a big bro as "rough." He comes running as soon as his newborn sibling screams! He's rushing down and weeping. He's worried. He adores him! It's difficult to share toys and pacifiers."

Rihanna also congratulated Rocky on being selected one of the co-chairs of the 2025 Met Gala, alongside Pharrell Williams, Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton, actor Colman Domingo, and honorary chair Lebron James.

"This is probably one of my favorite themes of all of them," remarked frequent attendee RihRih of the celebration of Black sartorial perfection from the 18th century to present titled "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style."

"This year's Met Ball theme heightened my admiration for the event. It celebrates culture. "It is also a historical celebration," she explained. "It's just brining it to the forefront on a platform where we've been kind of hidden and it's just accepting it."
