Rihanna and A$AP Rocky just made headlines once again — this time with the sweetest announcement yet. The superstar couple has officially welcomed their first daughter together, and her name carries a special hidden meaning that fans can’t stop talking about.
From Friends to Family of Five
Rihanna, 37, and A$AP Rocky, 36, were close friends for years before romance blossomed in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, their love story has only grown stronger.
In May 2022, the pair welcomed their first child, a son named RZA Athelston Mayers. Just over a year later, their second boy, Riot Rose Mayers, joined the family. And now, the dream team of two boys has finally been balanced with a baby girl.
On September 24, Rihanna took to Instagram to share the exciting news with her 150+ million followers. The post featured her holding the little one, dressed in a pink onesie and lace booties, along with another picture of tiny pink boxing gloves — a symbolic touch that fans immediately noticed.
The Hidden Meaning Behind the Name
Born on September 13, 2025, the couple’s daughter has been named Rocki Irish Mayers. But this isn’t just any name. It’s a clever and heartfelt tribute to A$AP Rocky himself.
A$AP, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, is affectionately known in the music world as “Rocky.” Their daughter’s name, Rocki, gives a feminine twist to her father’s stage name — swapping the “y” for an “i.”
The boxing gloves in Rihanna’s post were no accident either. They are believed to be a nod to Rocky Balboa, Sylvester Stallone’s iconic film character, tying into A$AP’s nickname in an even deeper way.
A$AP Rocky’s Dream Came True
Interestingly, A$AP had openly shared his hopes for a daughter in a recent interview with Elle.
“I hope it’s a girl. I really do. We’re praying for a girl,” he revealed. He even admitted this pregnancy felt “different” from their first two, making him confident it would be the baby girl he had been wishing for.
His instincts were spot on — and now, he and Rihanna officially have the daughter they dreamed of.
Fans Still Waiting on New Music
While the world celebrates the couple’s growing family, some fans are playfully reminding Rihanna and A$AP that it’s been years since either released a new album. Rihanna’s last studio album, Anti, came out in 2016, while Rocky’s Testing dropped in 2018.
Even the couple joke about it. “Your fans might want to kick your a** as much as my fans wanna kick my a**,” Rihanna teased in an interview. “What saves me is that I’m pregnant most of the time.”
Conclusion
With baby Rocki Irish Mayers now here, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s family feels complete. The meaningful name not only honors Rocky but also adds a charming story fans are sure to cherish.
For now, music might have to wait — but the world is more than happy to celebrate this precious new chapter for one of the most beloved celebrity couples.
