"I enjoy it so much" - Rihanna gets candid on being a boy mom and her family life
Rihanna, also known as Riri, recently shared her thoughts on being a mother of two boys with Access Hollywood. The nine-time Grammy Award winner, who has two kids, RZA and Riot, with partner A$AP ROCKY, got personal with Access on the red carpet for the launch of Savage x Fenty in Nordstrom on October 10, 2024.
The 36-year-old mogul shared with the media outlet that being a boy mom was "an Olympic sport for real." Riri also used the phrase as a caption when she shared a funny video of her son RZA trying to climb out of his playpen on September 28, 2024.
Rihanna was also quick to add during the red-carpet interview that motherhood was enjoyable. Per Billboard's report on October 14, 2024, she said:
"It's fun. I literally- I enjoy it so much. I am just looking at them and living through them, and I'm amazed by every new discovery of theirs, even their boundaries."
She further added:
"They're teaching me how to be their mom as much as I'm teaching them how to be in this world and guide them as best as I can."
Rihanna says it's hard to share pacifiers and toys between her sons
The Diamond hitmaker also shared insights into how her older son, RZA, was handling his role as a big brother. Rihanna, who is also an older sibling, described it as 'rough.' She explained that RZA doted on his younger brother, Riot, and was always there for him:
"It's rough, but the second that his baby brother cries, he's there, like he's running there. He's actually crying, too, he's worried."
The singer then joked:
"It's just hard to share toys and pacifiers."
Riri also praised her longtime partner, A$AP ROCKY, for his recent nomination as one of the co-chairs for the Met Gala 2025, alongside Pharrell Williams, Lewis Hamilton, Colman Domingo, and LeBron James.
The Fenty Beauty mogul also expressed appreciation for the theme of the upcoming event, Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, and described it as a celebration of culture and history.
She added:
"It's just bringing it to the forefront on a platform where we've been kind of hidden, and it's just accepting it."
