Rihanna and her boyfriend, A$AP Rocky, have decided to keep up with the celebrity tradition of picking unique and sometimes jaw-dropping names for their children.
The billionaire businesswoman, who gave birth to her second child in early August, has chosen the name Riot for her son. The infant’s middle name is Rose, and his last name is Mayers.
According to the Blast that broke the news, baby Riot Rose Mayers was born on August 1st at 7:41 a.m. at Los Angeles’ Cedars Sinai Hospital.
There is a big possibility that Riot’s name might have been inspired by an A$AP Rocky song called “Riot,” featuring Pharrell Williams.
Rihanna is also the mom of RZA Athelston, who celebrated his first birthday on May 1st. Sources have revealed that Rihanna feels blessed to have two sons with A$AP Rocky and now thinks that her family is complete.
For those wondering what is next for Rihanna, reports claim an engagement and a wedding. Rihanna revealed in a recent interview that she lives by her own rules, and therefore planned to have babies before getting married.
The singer and actress said: “Who the f–k says it has to be that way? I’m certainly not gonna let that get in the way of me being a mom. They’re going to teach me more than I could ever teach them. And I want them to go for it. I want to see who they are in the world, and who they become. Because I’m just here to keep them on the rails — a passenger as much as the driver.”
A source close to the New York rapper told Us Magazine that he is looking forward to marrying Rihanna, which is why no one is surprised that he has already been calling her “wife.”
The person in the know told the media outlet: “Going by the hints Rocky’s been dropping, [it] may well happen soon, but there’s no pressure and what matters most to both of them is to keep building on this truly beautiful thing they’ve got going. They’re very open with friends that it’s unlike any connection they’ve ever experienced with anyone else, and they see each other as life partners.”
The unconventional pair does not need a piece of paper but has chosen to walk down the aisle because they love each other.
The source claimed: “They don’t need a piece of paper to be happy, but Ri’s a real romantic, and her friends and family — her mom, especially — would love to see her married.”
The two lovebirds have known each other for a long time.
