Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have completed the nursery for their third child, and according to a source close to the couple, it includes one very special touch that’s left fans everywhere touched by the couple’s love for their growing family.
After months of anticipation — and plenty of speculation — the insider confirmed to People that preparations for the newest member of the family are officially wrapped. The global superstar and her rapper partner, both known for their style and creativity, have reportedly spent the last five months designing the perfect space for their baby on the way.
A Nursery Built with Love
While the couple has not shared photos yet, the source revealed that the nursery reflects both Rihanna’s Caribbean roots and A$AP Rocky’s personal style. The pair wanted the space to feel “warm, personal, and rooted in family traditions,” the insider explained.
One feature fans are particularly touched by? A custom piece the couple spent months preparing: a restored heirloom rocking chair from Rihanna’s childhood home in Barbados. The chair, which belonged to her mother, was shipped to Los Angeles earlier this year, refinished by local artisans, and now sits proudly next to the crib.
“They could have bought any designer furniture in the world,” the source said. “But instead, they wanted something meaningful. That rocking chair carries memories from Rihanna’s own childhood — and now it will be part of her children’s lives too.”
A$AP Rocky: The “Biggest Cheerleader”
According to People, A$AP Rocky has been “the biggest cheerleader” throughout Rihanna’s third pregnancy, helping with preparations at home while also caring for their two young sons, RZA and Riot.
“He’s been incredibly hands-on,” the source told the outlet. “He handled bedtime routines, kept the boys entertained, and made sure Rihanna could focus on her health and rest. This nursery project became something they worked on together — it’s been a real labor of love.”
The rapper, 36, even hinted at the baby’s sex earlier this summer during the premiere of The Smurfs Movie, where he voiced a character alongside Rihanna. Holding up a Smurfette doll on the red carpet, Rocky smiled when asked if the couple was expecting a girl, replying, “It is, man. It is.”
The comment sent fans into a frenzy, sparking speculation that baby number three might be the couple’s first daughter.
The “R” Tradition Continues
Rihanna, 37, and Rocky already share two sons with distinctive names: RZA, born in May 2022, and Riot Rose, born in August 2023. Both children made their red carpet debut this year in matching Dior outfits at Paris Fashion Week — a moment fans called “peak family style goals.”
Now, the couple seems poised to continue what fans are calling the “R Tradition.” Rihanna recently told People that choosing another R-name was the “easiest part” of preparing for their third child.
“We didn’t even have to talk about it,” she joked. “It was automatic.”
Fans React to the Nursery News
After news of the completed nursery broke, social media lit up with excitement.
“An heirloom rocking chair? That’s such a sweet touch,” one fan wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
Another commented: “They could’ve gone full Hollywood with this nursery. Instead, they’re bringing in family history. Love that for them.”
The couple has not announced when they plan to share photos or a full reveal of the nursery, though insiders say it will likely be after the baby arrives.
A Growing Family and a Bright Future
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have balanced parenthood with busy careers over the past few years. In addition to music projects, Rihanna has expanded her Fenty Beauty empire, while Rocky continues to release music and explore film opportunities.
But those close to the couple say family always comes first. “They’re partners in every sense,” the source told People. “Their home is full of love, music, and laughter — and this new baby will be surrounded by all of it from day one.”
As fans eagerly await the arrival of baby number three, one thing is clear: Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have built more than just a nursery. They’ve built a home filled with history, heart, and hope for the future.
