Rihanna and A$AP Rocky were photographed soaking up a stunning Ibiza sunset on November 4, 2025, with their 1-year-old daughter balanced on the rapper’s shoulders. The couple—dressed casually in linen and barefoot—strolled the shoreline, laughing and stealing kisses as the sky turned pink and gold. It was a rare, low-key moment for the billionaire parents, who rarely share family outings publicly.
But fans quickly noticed two missing faces: the couple’s sons, RZA, 6, and Riot, 3.
Sources close to the family tell Page Six the boys were not left out—they were simply having their own adventure. RZA and Riot stayed at the family’s rented villa with Rihanna’s mother, Monica Braithwaite, for a planned “grandma night.” The kids reportedly enjoyed pizza, Disney movies, and an extended bedtime—complete with extra dessert and zero rules.

“Rihanna and Rocky wanted a quiet hour with the baby,” an insider said. “She’s at that perfect age—portable, sleepy, happy on dad’s shoulders. The boys are full-on energy. Grandma volunteered to take them so the parents could breathe.”
Monica, a frequent presence in the couple’s life, flew in from Barbados earlier in the week. Photos from the villa (shared by a staffer on a private account) show RZA directing a “pirate battle” in the pool with floaties, while Riot smeared frosting across his face during cupcake time. Both boys were asleep by 9 p.m.—well after their usual bedtime.
The outing lasted just under two hours. Rihanna, 37, wore a white oversized shirt and gold hoops, her hair in loose waves. Rocky, 37, went shirtless under an open linen button-down, his daughter’s tiny hands tangled in his braids. Paparazzi captured the trio from a distance—no drones, no disruption. The family returned to the villa before dark.
This isn’t the first time the couple has carved out one-on-one time with their youngest. During a July 2025 trip to Italy, they were seen on a boat with just the baby while the boys explored a nearby village with Monica and nannies. “It’s balance,” the source added. “Three kids under 7 is a lot. They rotate who gets the solo spotlight.”
Rihanna has been open about the chaos of motherhood. In a 2024 Vogue interview, she said, “Some days I’m Supermom. Other days I’m just trying to find a clean sock.” Rocky echoed the sentiment on The Joe Rogan Experience last year: “Fatherhood is beautiful, man. But three? That’s a tag team.”
The family is in Ibiza for a short break before Rihanna resumes work on her long-awaited album and Rocky preps for a 2026 tour. They’ve kept a low profile—no club appearances, no yacht parties. Just beach walks, villa dinners, and family.
Fans flooded social media with support.

One viral tweet: “Plot twist: the boys planned this. They wanted the iPad AND the ice cream.”
Monica Braithwaite has not commented, but a source says she’s “in her element.” The boys reportedly woke up asking for “more Grandma pancakes” the next morning.
Rihanna and Rocky were all smiles returning to the villa—daughter asleep on mom’s chest, Rocky carrying her sandals. The perfect end to a perfect escape.
Parenting three isn’t easy. But sometimes, 90 minutes, one baby, and a sunset is all you need.
