Rihanna, the award-winning Barbadian music star, has addressed rumours circulating that she is expecting her third child.

There have been speculations that the ‘Man Down’ hitmaker was pregnant for the third time in three years for A$AP Rocky, her partner.

But in a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, the 36-year-old denied the rumours, adding that she was not pregnant.

She however said that she is open to having more children.

“I am not pregnant, if that is what you are asking. But I would definitely have more kids,” she said.

In April, the mother of two opened up about wanting to expand her family.

She said she wants to have as many kids as God wants, adding that she is hoping for a daughter.

“As many as God wants me to have. I do not know what God wants, but I would go for more than two. I would try for my girl. But of course if it is another boy, it is another boy,” she said.

Rihanna and Rocky sparked their relationship in December 2020 after being longtime friends.

In May 2022, the celebrity couple welcomed their first child.

They also had Riot Rose, their second child, in August 2023.
