Global music sensation and fashion icon Rihanna has quietly welcomed her third child with longtime partner A$AP Rocky. The arrival of their baby girl has sparked immense joy, but it’s the unique name that has captured the hearts and attention of fans worldwide. Rihanna shared an emotional Instagram announcement, revealing the first photo of her newborn daughter and her name. The post ignited excitement across social media, as fans admired the baby’s beauty, the meaningful choice of name, and her striking resemblance to her famous mother.
In the Instagram post, the 37-year-old artist cradled her daughter while including a symbolic image of tiny pink boxing gloves — a nod to the fierce spirit she hopes her daughter will embody. The tender gesture reflected Rihanna’s blend of strength and love as a mother. She accessorized with elegant jewelry, including a watch, a ring, and a standout “R” pendant from the Splendente Letter Pendant collection, designed by New York-based jeweler Renato Cipullo. Priced at $7,950, the pendant combines Cipullo’s Italian craftsmanship with a retro 1970s New York vibe, adding a stylish and meaningful touch.
Fans were immediately captivated by the baby’s name: Rocki Irish Mayers, born on September 13, 2025. Choosing a softer, stylized version rather than A$AP Rocky’s stage name, Rihanna and her partner continue a family tradition where all children’s names begin with the letter “R.” Their second child, Riot Rose Mayers, was born on August 1, 2023, and their eldest son, RZA Athelston Mayers, arrived in 2022, his name honoring the Wu-Tang Clan leader.
The announcement left fans overjoyed, with messages like “Welcome baby Rocki!” and “She finally got her baby girl!” Many noted how much Rocki resembles Rihanna, celebrating the mother-daughter bond, while others praised the parents’ creativity and the uniqueness of the name.
