Rihanna and her boyfriend, A$AP Rocky, have decided to put the drama behind them, for now, to focus on what truly matters to them — their baby, who will be born any day now.
Over the weekend, the beauty maven and her partner decided to put A$AP Rocky’s arrest headline aside.
The New York MC and the businesswoman were seen holding hands as they arrived for a private and intimate dinner with close friends and family members.
According to several reliable media outlets, Rihanna and the rapper attended a baby shower dinner with their close ones.
The billionaire singer once more pushed her maternity look to higher heights with her daring choice of outfit.
Rihanna selected a classy yet revealing attire to make an impressive entrance at the soirée.
The fashion designer rocked a black reversible bomber jacket and a white embellished shirt that she kept wide open to flaunt her growing baby bump.
She completed the sexy look with a crystal bra, shorts, elegant sparkly strap sandals, and a matching handbag.
A source close to the couple spoke to PEOPLE and shared a few details about the gathering.
The person explained that it was a happy moment for the flamboyant mother-to-be and added: “It was a happy and relaxed group. Rihanna looked great. She sat next to A$AP, and they were affectionate. They dined for a couple of hours. The focus was very much on Rihanna and the baby.”
The paparazzi photos that captured the Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s sweet moment as they entered the luxury restaurant were probably meant to dispel some of the rumors flying around.
Over the weekend, reports surfaced claiming that Rihanna and her boyfriend were forced to cancel the baby shower that they had planned because they were reeling from A$AP Rocky’s arrest at LAX.
The couple spent a lovely vacation in Barbados, where they were seen soaking up the sun and enjoying local cuisine.
Upon their return to California via private jet, police arrested A$AP Rocky for his alleged involvement in a Hollywood shooting that took place in late 2021.
According to sources, who spoke to The Sun, Rihanna “has been crying non-stop” since the arrest.
One insider claimed: “She’s heavily pregnant, and these are very serious accusations. It’s a nightmare scenario for her.”
The source added: “Rihanna was very, very upset and stressed by Rocky’s arrest. It’s not the best time for her to be on such an emotional rollercoaster.”
According to reports, Rihanna is set to give birth in May. She was hoping to have her baby in her native country, but that is up in the air after the father-to-be’s issues with the law.
