Rihanna explains why she and A$AP Rocky have yet to share baby boy’s name, photo
Ooh na na, what’s his name?
Rihanna is giving insight into her and A$AP Rocky’s choice to keep their baby boy’s name and photo private, five months after his arrival.
“We just didn’t get around to it yet really,” the singer said in a Washington Post interview published Monday.
“We’ve just been living,” the Grammy winner, 34, continued. “But I guess there’s a certain freedom that comes with kind of just, like, getting it out there.”
The Fenty creator gave birth in May and has since kept the 5-month-old out of the public eye.
Also speaking to E! News on Monday, Rihanna said she reminds herself of her mom, Monica Braithwaite, now that she has a little one of her own.
“It is weird,” the “Lift Me Up” singer told the outlet. “Even the little things that annoy me about her, I do it. I literally make all of the same faces. I say the same things. I clear my throat the same way. I move my mouth the same way.”
She added, “I either never noticed it or it never happened until I had a baby.”
Now that Rihanna is on the “other side” of pregnancy, she is excited to get back to work, with her Savage X Fenty Vol. 4 show later this week and her highly anticipated Super Bowl performance next February.
“Once you get to the other side, you’re like, ‘I gotta get back,'” the lingerie designer explained. “There’s something that just happens.”
Rihanna revealed her pregnancy with an outdoor photo shoot in January, spending the next few months baring her bump in daring looks.
The makeup mogul’s maternity style inspired other moms, including model Shanina Shaik.
“She definitely paved the way,” the Victoria’s Secret Angel, 31, told Page Six in October. “I think it’s just about empowering women and understanding that once a woman is pregnant, our life is not on pause.
“We can go to events and function like a normal human being.”
