ASAP Rocky Shares Rare Photos Of Him And Rihanna With Their Sons

ASAP Rocky shares rare photos of him and Rihanna with their sons. In celebration of their first-born child RZA's 2nd birthday Sunday (May 13), the "Babushka Boi" rapper, 35, shared a slideshow of photos with his adorable family.

A$AP shared multiple photos of him and Rihanna cuddled up with RZA and their son Riot, who is nine months old, all smiling. One adorable photo in the carousel shows Rocky and RZA making similar shocked faces as the little guy wears an adorable sweater vest. His happy birthday baby is giggling to the sound of a harmonica being played in a clip. In another video, RZA is dressed in a Snorlax onesie with a matching Pokémon plushie in hand. Rocky shares another sweet clip of himself laughing as he tells RZA to give back his little brother's pacifier.

The rapper captioned the Instagram post: "HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY 2 MY 1st BORN BABY BOY RZA [red heart emoji]."

Sharing the love for Rocky's sweet family post, Metro Boomin commented, "THE RZA!!" Pusha T responded, "HBD RZA!!!!!!!" DJ Khaled wrote: "Happy b day ! GOD IS GREAT !" There was no shortage of fans praising the couple on social media. One person wrote of Rihanna: "her finally being loved properly after all the pain she endured really restores my faith in love."

Another said: "Rihanna really showing us how to be yourself and not lose your identity when you start a family! Literally went against every single thing you’ve been fear mongered about motherhood." Many fans agreed that their children look just like their mother, with one user commenting, "Anyone saying that’s not Rihanna twins right there in those two boys [fire emojis] stole her whole face twice."

The couple was spotted in New York City looking fly, as usual, celebrating their son's birthday. Rihanna was wearing colorful balloon animal wings.

A$AP and Rihanna have proven parenthood suits the couple of four years. In fact, the Fenty Beauty mogul revealed to E! News that being a mom has given her a new perspective on life. The 36-year-old "We Found Love" singer told the publication that she feels "really cool to be a boy-mom."

The Barbados native loves that she gets to be "as casual and busted as I want to." However, she admits that being a mom to two boys forces her to embrace the "epic things" about being a woman. Now, Rih finds herself wearing pink- a color she hasn't been seen wearing a lot prior to giving birth to her first-born back in 2022.

"It just kind of highlights about being a woman," she continued. "Because I'm the one that can experience all of that in the house—giving birth to them, carrying them, being a partner with Rocky, and running the household and the family. It's new territory, but it's empowering."

Rihanna first shared a photo of her partner and RZA during a family vacation to Barbados in July 2023.

In 2023, lots of celebrity couples welcomed babies. Some celebrated the birth of their very first child, while others, added a new bundle of joy to their growing family. In some cases, celebrities who couldn't have a natural birth have welcomed children via surrogate. No matter how their children were brought into the world, a baby is a blessing. These stars have opened up about their pregnancy journey and celebrated with fans as they welcomed their newborns. There must be something in the celebrity gene pool that makes their babies not look like aliens fresh out of the womb because their newborns are so adorable.

Approximately 134.28 million births will occur across the globe in 2023, according to the United Nation’s medium variant of the population projections. Based on that projection, there should be an average of about 368,000 births per day in 2023. However, birth rates have declined in most states across the US in recent years, as women are having babies at an older age, according to data released by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Birth rates among women in their late 30s and early 40s rose in the last decade, and the birth rate among women over 45 also exceeded one birth per 1,000 population for the first time in more than a decade. Meanwhile, the teen birth rate dropped to a record low last year, according to the data.

As for Hollywood couples, there seems to be no shortage of babies being born in 2023. The list keeps growing and so do their families. Since the year isn't over yet, take a look below to see which celebrities welcomed babies in 2023.

In August, RiRi and Rocky [inlink id="rihanna-aap-rocky-show-off-newborn-son-for-the-first-time" text="welcomed their second son"], Riot Rose. Riot and their son, RZA are just 15 months apart.

In August, Olsen [inlink id="ashley-olsen-secretly-welcomes-first-baby" text="secretly welcomed her first baby"], Otto, with her husband. Notoriously private, the couple tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in December 2022. The pair have been linked since October 2017, but neither Olsen nor Eisner have spoken about their relationship publicly and have kept a low profile through the years. Eisner is an artist and the son of jewelry designer Lisa Eisner.

The couple already shares daughter Luna Simone, son Miles Theodore, and welcomed daughter Esti five months earlier by natural birth, in January.
