Must be babies on the brain!

It’s said a parent’s love is unconditional and in a world of infertility, medical accidents, surrogates, and more, a baby truly has become a blessing. These two stars glow in the light of pregnancy, ready for their new ray of sunshine. 

The singer and fashion mogul,Rihanna at age 33, is pregnant, expecting her first baby with rapper A$AP Rocky.

The couple was photographed out in New York City over the weekend, where Rihanna debuted her baby bump. Her oversized outerwear was buttoned at the top and unbuttoned at the bottom to reveal her growing bump decorated in a shiny gold cross among other  colorful jewels.

In one of the wholesome photos, which were taken in Harlem, where A$AP Rocky grew up, the rapper kisses the soon-to-be mom on her forehead as they enjoyed a chilly outdoors walk.

It is now rumored that she is carrying not one, but two children based on the size of her belly and the symbolism behind Rocky wearing blue and Rihanna wearing pink. As well as many of the comments on their Instagram post mentioned two angels followed by very cryptic giggles from the couple.

Back in May, A$AP Rocky told GQ about his romance with Rihanna, calling her the “love of my life.” When asked what it felt like to be in a relationship, he said, “So much better. So much better when you got ‘the One.’ She amounts to probably, like, a million of the other ones. I think when you know, you know. She’s the One.”

In regards to fatherhood, A$AP Rocky said starting a family is “in my destiny, absolutely.” As he put it at the time, “I think I’d be an incredible, remarkably overall amazing dad. I would have a very cool child. Very.”

A source confirmed to PEOPLE in November 2020 that Rihanna and A$AP Rocky were dating after years of friendship and speculation of an upcoming relationship. The couple had sparked romance rumors since Rihanna broke up with former boyfriend of three years, billionaire Hassan Jameel, in January 2020. That July, she featured A$AP Rocky in her Fenty Skin campaign, and the duo did several interviews together to promote the collab which ignited  the adoration.

It’s unknown when the soon-to-be-parents are expecting the arrival of their little one, nor what the child’s sex will be.

“I feel like society makes me want to feel like, ‘Oh, you got it wrong …’ They diminish you as a mother if there’s not a dad in your kids’ lives,” said Rihanna. “But the only thing that matters is happiness; that’s the only healthy relationship between a parent and a child. That’s the only thing that can raise a child truly, is love.”
