Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have finally revealed their second baby's unique name! Find out the special meaning behind it.
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have recently disclosed the unique name of their second child. The couple has named their newborn son Riot Rose Mayers, according to a report by The Blast.
The Significance Behind the Name
The name Riot Rose Mayers could be an understated reference to A$AP Rocky's track "Riot," released in July and featuring Pharrell Williams. This choice also aligns with the couple's preference for names starting with the letter "R." Their first son, born in May 2022, was named RZA Athelston Mayers.
The Birth Details
Rihanna gave birth to Riot Rose Mayers on August 1, 2023, at Cedar Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles at 7:41 a.m. The birth certificate confirming these details was obtained by media outlets.
The Medical Team
For the delivery, Rihanna chose the celebrity-favored OB-GYN, Thais Aliabadi, who has previously appeared on the reality TV show "Keeping Up With The Kardashians." Aliabadi has also assisted in the delivery of Al Pacino and Noor Alfallah's son, Roman.
Insights from Rihanna's Father
Ronald Fenty, Rihanna's father, had earlier mentioned to Page Six that the couple had considered "a few names" for their newborn. However, he chose not to disclose any of the names under consideration, humorously stating that Rihanna would "have my head if I tell you!"
Keeping the Pregnancy a Secret
Rihanna managed to keep her second pregnancy under wraps until her performance at the Super Bowl 2023 halftime show. During the performance, the Fenty Beauty creator cradled her baby bump in a red outfit, later confirming her pregnancy.
The Firstborn: RZA Athelston Mayers
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, have been open about sharing images of their firstborn son on social media since his birth in May 2022. The couple even featured their happy baby in a Vogue spread but kept his name a secret until May 2023. Rihanna had hinted at the name for months by wearing clothes that honored the Wu-Tang Clan's leader and producer, RZA.
The Couple's Journey
Before becoming parents, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky had been longtime friends and collaborators. Their friendship blossomed into a romantic relationship in 2020.
This latest revelation about their second child adds another chapter to the couple's evolving story, capturing the public's attention and leaving fans eager for more updates.
