Rihanna shared a beautiful set of pictures from her delivery days on the occasion of International Women’s Day on March 8. The pop star-turned-entrepreneur is a mother to two sons, RZA and Riot Rose with partner ASAP Rocky. 

On International Women’s Day, Rihanna reflected on the profound experience of motherhood, particularly during the births of her two sons. In her caption, she expressed, “By far the most powerful thing I’ve ever done as a woman…my little miracles! #InternationalWomensDay.”

Rihanna shared heartfelt images from her childbirth experiences: the first captures the moment she welcomed her eldest son, RZA, who is now two years old, while the second shows her cradling Riot Rose, who is currently 19 months old. In these candid photos, Rihanna appears as a typical mother, makeup-free and weary from labor, yet she added a touch of her signature style with pink sunglasses in one shot and pearl necklaces in the other.

She humorously noted in her caption, “And yes I gave birth in pearls and sunglasses…don’t ask, a lot was happening.” Rihanna and her partner, A$AP Rocky, have been in a relationship since 2020 and share their two boys together.

Rihanna has openly discussed her journey into motherhood. Shortly after RZA’s birth, she graced the cover of British Vogue alongside A$AP Rocky and their newborn. The cover featured a heartwarming family moment of the three of them strolling on the beach. She described motherhood as “legendary,” stating, “It’s everything. You really don’t remember life before — that’s the craziest thing ever.”

She elaborated, “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,” she shared with Vogue at that time.
