Natural beauty! Pregnant Rihanna goes casual and makeup free as beau A$AP Rocky carries their son
2024/04/02

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky were spotted arriving in New Jersey via private jet this weekend, just over a month after welcoming their first child. The new parents traveled from Los Angeles to Teterboro Airport, dressed casually and accompanied by their newborn son, whose name they have not yet revealed.

At 35, Rihanna has accomplished what few pop stars achieve: longevity and relevance across decades. From her 2005 debut single "Pon de Replay" to her most recent studio album "Anti" released in 2016, she has sold over 200 million records worldwide and earned nine Grammy Awards. Her successful makeup and lingerie lines, Fenty Beauty and Savage X Fenty, have made her a billionaire and cemented her status as a fashion and beauty mogul.

Now, Rihanna embarks on her greatest adventure yet: motherhood. She and partner A$AP Rocky, 34, welcomed their first child in May 2022 following a whirlwind pregnancy. The baby boy joins his parents' globe-trotting lifestyle, but Rihanna says her own Caribbean roots keep her grounded. “Home is where the heart is, right?" she says. "I never forget where I came from.” 

Though known for her daring and futuristic style, Rihanna opted for comfort on the family's private flight into New Jersey. She wore gray sweatpants and a black tank top, with her hair pulled up and minimal makeup.

A$AP Rocky matched in sweats, a T-shirt and baseball cap while carrying their newborn in a carrier. The casual looks were perfect for a long flight with an infant, allowing the new parents to focus on the baby for the six-hour trip.

Once known as a party girl, Rihanna now embraces this quieter chapter. "It's the life I live now," she says. Gone are the late nights at the club; her new baby's needs come first. But she's happy to trade her old habits for 3 a.m. feedings and lullabies. "Being a parent is the greatest joy I've ever known," she shares.

After landing in New Jersey, the family boarded an SUV and headed into New York City, where Rihanna and A$AP Rocky share a home.
