Pregnant Rihanna 'may tie the knot with A$AP Rocky in Barbados' before releasing a new album
2024/04/02

Rihanna fans may face further delays for her highly anticipated ninth album. According to reports, the 35-year-old superstar is putting music on hold to plan her wedding and focus on expecting her second child with partner A$AP Rocky. 

An insider claimed Rihanna's main priorities right now are "throwing a wedding and having another baby." Though performing at the Super Bowl reinvigorated her love of the stage, her home life takes precedence. Luckily, A$AP Rocky fully supports her decision to put her career second during this time.

The report comes as Rihanna is preparing to perform at the Oscars in two weeks.

Though the couple "can't wait to get hitched," they are figuring out the best way to wed with a baby on the way. Options include eloping in secret or a small LA ceremony followed by a lavish Barbados bash next year. Rihanna wants a "super glam event" but also envisions herself "running around barefoot" in her native country.

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have been romantically linked since 2020. They are currently expecting their second child together, with Rihanna debuting her baby bump in a recent photoshoot. The pop icon has made only sparse appearances of late, focusing on fashion and philanthropy over music.

Fans have impatiently awaited Rihanna's ninth studio album, with many taking to social media to plead for its release. However, between planning a wedding, pregnancy and motherhood, Rihanna has clearly chosen to step back from performing for the time being. Though known for her tireless work ethic, she seems to be relishing this period of life away from the spotlight with her growing family.

When or if Rihanna releases another album remains unknown. For now, she appears content embracing her roles as partner to A$AP Rocky and mother above all else. Her navy of devoted fans continue to stand by in eager anticipation of her highly anticipated return to music - but fully understand why that day has yet to come just yet.

'Guests who attend can expect to dine on delicious island food while listening to live music.'

The couple, who have been together officially since 2020, gave a glimpse at what their nuptials might look like in Rocky's D.M.B video which was released last May.

The Billboard Music Award winner looked gorgeous in a red gown and veil, and carried a bouquet of red roses in the wedding scene. 

As far as new music goes, Rihanna, who hasn't released a new album since 2016's Anti told British Vogue before her current pregnancy, 'I want it to be this year, like, honestly, it'd be ridiculous if it's not this year.

But I just want to have fun. I just want to make music and make videos.'

The Lift Me Up singer has yet to release her son's name to the public, and now that she is expecting baby number two, those priorities may have changed. 

Although she has never stopped recording and has many unreleased songs in the vault, the prolific singer and songwriter seems hesitant to use any of that material for a new album.

'(It's) almost like trying to dress like you used to dress. It's like, "Ew, no. I would never wear those again." Your taste changes, your vibe changes.'
