Baby Rocki Irish is the first daughter for Rihanna and A$AP Rocky, beautifully rounding out their young family. The little girl joins her two older brothers, RZA Athelston, born in May 2022, and Riot Rose, born in August 2023. The couple’s journey to a family of five has been a public and stylish affair, with each pregnancy announcement more iconic than the last.
Rihanna first revealed she was expecting baby number three at the 2025 Met Gala, where Rocky served as a co-chair. She confidently showcased her growing baby bump in a custom-designed outfit, turning the fashion world’s biggest night into her personal pregnancy reveal. This follows her legendary 2023 Super Bowl Halftime Show, where she announced her second pregnancy to millions of viewers worldwide.
As with their sons’ distinctive names, Rihanna and Rocky have chosen a unique moniker for their daughter. Rocki Irish Mayers has immediately captured public attention. The name “Rocki” is a sweet nod to her father’s stage name, A$AP Rocky, while “Irish” adds a distinctive and charming flair. The choice reflects the couple’s pattern of selecting strong, memorable names for their children.
The singer had previously expressed her hope for a girl. In a 2024 interview, Rihanna shared, “I would try for my girl. But of course if it’s another boy, it’s another boy.” It seems her wish has been beautifully granted.
A Foundation of Family and Partnership
Amid their immense careers, Rihanna and Rocky have consistently emphasized that family is their top priority. Rocky hinted at the strength of their private bond in a recent Elle interview, potentially implying that they are married. He explained that their home life is a sanctuary from their busy work lives, stating, “When you come home, it’s about family. It’s about your relationship.”
