A$AP Rocky seemingly let slip the sex of his and Rihanna’s upcoming third child at the world premiere of The Smurfs in Brussels on June 28, 2025. When asked by Entertainment Tonight, "Is that the girl you’ve been waiting for?" Rocky grinned widely, responded "It is, man, it is," and held up a Smurfette doll playfully confirming that they are expecting a daughter.

Rihanna, luminous and visibly pregnant, attended the premiere dressed in a custom light blue Chanel ensemble. The semi-sheer chiffon topped with sequins, crystals, and feather accents echoed her milestone moment, her third pregnancy had been announced earlier at the 2025 Met Gala in May. She had previously captivated fans with a bold power-blazer skirt look at that event.

Their two sons spotlighted the couple’s family dynamics: three-year-old RZA and 22-month-old Riot already share a close bond. In recent weeks at Paris Fashion Week, Rihanna and Rocky brought Riot along to his AWGE fashion showcase, further cementing their image as a hands-on parenting duo. On the Brussels carpet, Rocky joked to ET host Kevin Frazier that they might grow a brood “like the Wayans family” a lighthearted nod to his hopes for a large family.

As a pioneer in celebrity maternity fashion, Rihanna’s latest Chanel ensemble felt like a tribute to her iconic 2022 Dior “teddy” dress, reinvented with romantic, baby-blue elegance. The outfit, which reportedly took 840 hours to create, struck the perfect balance of haute couture and maternal glow.

The appearance in Brussels came hot on the heels of their shared outing at Paris Men’s Fashion Week, where Rocky debuted his AWGE fashion line and Rihanna carried Riot to the front row. Their visible family unity on international red carpets underscores both professional and personal alignment as they balance creative partnerships with parenthood.

Though Rocky’s gender announcement is subtle, using gesture and humor, it resonates deeply with fans who have eagerly awaited news about the new baby’s sex. Rihanna, meanwhile, offered her own tease to ET, saying she “doesn’t know if I’ll be having a baby girl… Could be a Papa Smurf. Who knows!” but confirmed their tradition: “It’s always going to be an R name”

Looking ahead, the couple continues to ride their wave of creative engagement: Rihanna voices Smurfette and recorded “Friend of Mine” for the film’s soundtrack, set for release July 18, while Rocky juggles roles in music, fashion, and acting. Amid these ventures, the announcement of their third baby likely a girl adds an emotional crescendo to their shared narrative.

Ultimately, A$AP Rocky’s playful reveal and Rihanna’s radiant maternity fashion mark a deeply personal milestone on an international stage. Their expanding family, anchored by two sons, may soon greet a daughter into the fold. Fans around the world are poised to celebrate another chapter in their ongoing journey one filled with creativity, love, and anticipation.
