A Star Is Born! Rihanna & A$AP Rocky Welcome Baby Boy

Written by Alexandra Pauly in Culture

Rihanna has given birth to her first child with A$AP Rocky, meaning the world's coolest infant now walks (or rather, crawls) among us.

The Bad Gal reportedly gave birth on May 13 in Los Angeles, meaning her little angel is a Taurus. (I don't really know what that means, but work!) Putting months of rampant speculation regarding the baby's anatomy to rest, anonymous sources say she and A$AP welcomed a boy.

Rih was last photographed in public on May 9, heading to dinner at Giorgio Baldi in a crystal chainmail Miu Miu set (yes, that one). Quite a maternity 'fit to end on.

Judging from paparazzi shots of the star shopping for baby garms, Rih and A$AP Rocky's kid will also dress to the nines — like mother and father, like son.

Between opening six new Savage X Fenty stores, winning the Met Gala without even attending, and consistently killing the maternity style game, Rihanna has stayed booked and busy throughout her entire pregnancy.

Get some rest, Mother!
