Rihanna’s Third Baby: Rocki Irish Mayers Continues Family Tradition
Rihanna confirmed that she and Rocky are continuing their “R-name” tradition with Rocki, a feminine twist on her father’s given name, Rakim. The baby’s name was revealed in a heartfelt Instagram post where the singer shared two snapshots: one showing herself holding Rocki in a rose-pink onesie with matching lace booties, and the other featuring tiny pink boxing gloves—a playful nod to the legendary Rocky Balboa.

The couple’s growing family now includes older siblings RZA Athelston, born in May 2022, and Riot Rose, born in August 2023. Their journey together began publicly in 2021, and both Rihanna and Rocky have been vocal about their desire for a large family. In an Elle interview published just a day before the birth announcement, A$AP Rocky shared, “I hope it’s a girl. I really do. We’re praying for a girl… This pregnancy is so different from the other two. You can tell from the experience. I feel like it’s going to be a girl. I need that.”
Rihanna herself has also spoken openly about her family plans. In April 2024, she told Interview, “I don’t know what God wants, but I would go for more than two. I would try for my girl. But of course if it’s another boy, it’s another boy.” She also shared her experience dressing her sons, joking to Entertainment Tonight, “Because I always envision dressing a girl, right? We all do as women… but then you get sons and you’re like, ‘What do I do?’… I have the biggest hack—their dad.”
The Excitement Surrounding Rihanna’s Growing Family
Fans and followers have been eagerly anticipating news of a baby girl, with Rihanna herself commenting to ExtraTV in June 2024 that “everybody is pushing” for her to have a daughter. She added, “If I ever get a daughter, I am going to show her so much footage—she’s been talked about forever. A spicy little girl would be so fun.”
The announcement has sparked joy across social media, with admirers celebrating not just the arrival of Rocki Irish Mayers, but also the loving, vibrant family Rihanna and A$AP Rocky continue to build together. This newest addition is a testament to the couple’s shared dreams and their journey of manifesting the family they envisioned.
Congratulations to Rihanna and A$AP Rocky on their growing family, and welcome to the world, Rocki Irish Mayers!
