Rihanna Reveals She's Pregnant With Baby No. 3 With A$AP Rocky as She Arrives at the 2025 Met Gala
The 'Diamonds' singer, 37, showed off her growing baby bump in photos obtained by People before arriving at the star-studded event, which was held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday, May 5. She later walked the red carpet several hours after the event started in a black tailored look and a large hat with her baby bump on full display.
Rihanna is now expecting her third child with boyfriend A$AP Rocky (real name: Rakim Mayers). The couple currently share two sons, 2-year-old RZA Athelaston Mayers, born in May 2022, and 1-year-old Riot Rose Mayers, born in August 2023. A$Ap walked the red carpet earlier on in the night solo.
The dress code for the 2025 Met Gala is "Tailored for You," which is a "nod to the exhibition's focus on suiting and menswear — from specific silhouettes to various fabrics and accessories — that is purposefully designed to both provide guidance and invite creative interpretation."
Cochairs for this year's highly anticipated event include A$AP Rocky, 36, Oscar-nominated actor Colman Domingo, Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton and hitmaker Pharrell Williams, plus Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.
Before stealing the show at this year's event with her big news, Rihanna previously spoke about how much she is enjoying motherhood.
"It makes me feel really cool to be a boy mom," she told E! News at Fenty Beauty's Soft'Lit Naturally Luminous Longwear Foundation launch in April 2024. "Like I get to be as casual and busted as I want to, but it also forces me to embrace the epic things about being a woman, and a female and all my femininity. I embrace it so much more now, like I wear pink."
She added, "I go between wearing jerseys and like, 'I'm wearing a dress today! I'm the only one in this house who can do that right now.'"
The Barbadian bombshell said she's really embraced her role at home and it's empowered her in other ways.
"It just kind of highlights about being a woman," she shared. "Because I'm the one that can experience all of that in the house — giving birth to them, carrying them, being a partner with Rocky and running the household and the family. It's new territory, but it's empowering."
A source told In Touch that RiRi is continuing to expand her empire after launching Fenty Beauty and Savage X Fenty, a lingerie line, noting that she is well on her way to doubling her billion-dollar fortune.
"Rihanna takes a very serious, thoughtful approach to each of her investments, she doesn't just slap her name on her brands, she's heavily involved in every step from the design to the marketing and the products," the insider dished.
"There's a reason everything she touches seems to turn to gold. She does thorough research and due diligence and puts in the hours," spilled the source, revealing Rihanna is serious about investing her time and energy into her products.
"She has an incredible sense of judgment, and her ventures, like her perfume line, are performing incredibly well. She's careful to time her launches right to ensure things are successful, she starts slow and steady before diving into a new project. Her existing brands are thriving, and she's now moving into new territories."

Bradley Cooper May ‘Pop the Question' to Gigi Hadid in a ‘Couple of Months'
THE RUNDOWN After almost two years of dating, sources close to Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper believe they may be getting engaged soon. An insider speaking with Page Six says that they are very serious and that Cooper is 'considering marriage and kids with Gigi.' 'He might pop the question in the next couple of months,' they added. Another source stated, 'They could picture a blended family with their daughters and their own kids,' adding they are 'incredibly happy and are in their own bubble.' Both the actor and the model have children already, with Cooper sharing his seven-year-old daughter, Lea De Seine, with model Irina Shayk. Hadid shares her five-year-old daughter, Khai, with former boyfriend Zayn Malik. An insider told People in January that the couple has introduced their daughters and they all spend time together. 'It's very sweet,' said the source. 'They are busy with work, but also prioritize their relationship and daughters.' The couple first stirred dating rumors in October 2023 after being seen on a dinner date at Via Carota in New York City. They have been very discreet about their connection, but in March, Hadid opened up to Vogue that they met at the 'backyard birthday party' of a mutual friend's child. She also shared some of the challenges that come with dating as a celebrity. 'You want to give yourself a normal experience of dating, and even for my friends who aren't public figures, that's hard,' Hadid began. 'Where do you go? And, what? You just start talking to people? And then there's another added layer of privacy and security. You want to believe that people are going to have your back and not call TMZ or go on DeuxMoi or whatever, but you just don't know.' Hadid added that her and Cooper's relationship is 'very romantic and happy.'

Company in Coldplay 'Kiss Cam' scandal releases Gwyneth Paltrow ad
Gwyneth Paltrow is consciously teaming up with Astronomer. A decade after the "Shakespeare in Love" actress, 52, and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, 48, announced their "conscious uncoupling," the Oscar winner is lending a hand to the data tech company following a controversy involving its former CEO and HR chief at her ex-husband's concert. In the video released July 25, the "temporary spokesperson" said she was "hired on a very temporary basis to speak on behalf of the 300-plus employees at Astronomer," adding that the company "has gotten a lot of questions over the last few days, and they wanted me to answer the most common ones." Gwyneth Paltrow reveals oddly romantic things Brad Falchuk loves about her Astronomer was thrust into the spotlight earlier this month when a video went viral showing a man and a woman embracing each other before quickly letting go and ducking out of view when a "Kiss Cam" put them in the spotlight at a Coldplay concert at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts. "Uh oh, what? Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy," Martin quipped at the July 16 concert. But in the newly released clip, text appeared and said, "OMG! What the actual" before Paltrow answered a different question: "Yes, Astronomer is the best place to run Apache Airflow, we've been thrilled so many people have a newfound interest in data automation." "As for the other questions we've received," Paltrow said cheekily as text popped up on screen, "How is your social media team holding" before she again answered a different question. Martin and Paltrow were married from 2003 to 2016 and share two children: 21-year-old Apple Martin and Moses Martin, 19. "We will now be returning to what we do best: delivering game-changing results for our customers," Paltrow said before the video ended. "Thank you for your interest in Astronomer." Astronomer released a statement July 19, on social media platform X and on job networking site LinkedIn, saying that its former CEO "Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted." "As stated previously, Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding," Astronomer's statement reads. "Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met." The company's HR chief Kristin Cabot has also reportedly resigned, according to CNBC and BBC. Contributing: Anthony Robledo, Jonathan Limehouse

Why Travis Kelce Posting Taylor Swift Pics Now ‘Wasn't Random'
THE RUNDOWN On Thursday, Travis Kelce went 'Instagram official' with girlfriend Taylor Swift, posting a carousel of pics featuring the Eras Tour singer during their time together this year. In the caption, he wrote, 'Had some adventures this offseason, kept it 💯' The high-profile couple seems to make careful decisions about appearing in public and sharing intimate looks into their relationship and they're generally fairly discreet on social media. A source speaking with People says that Kelce's choice to finally post images of Swift 'wasn't random.' 'It was intentional,' the insider claimed. 'They've been private in their own way, but this was his way of showing how serious things have become.' The source added, 'They're in a really solid place and more in sync than ever.' The couple started dating in the summer of 2023, but Swift first appeared at one of Kelce's Kansas City Chiefs games in September of that year, announcing the relationship. 'When I met her in New York, we had already kind of been talking, so I knew we could have a nice dinner and, like, a conversation, and what goes from there will go from there,' Kelce told WSJ magazine in November 2023 of their first date. 'Everybody around me telling me: 'Don't fuck this up!' And me sitting here saying: 'Yeah—got it.'' Swift has posted Kelce on Instagram before, in June 2024, when she shared a selfie taken backstage at her London show while being visited by Prince William and his children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte. Kelce's collection featured pics with friends and family, including his brother, Jason, and mother, Donna. Swift appeared beside Kelce in photos from a trip to Montana, on a boat, and in a restaurant where they're wearing matching black outfits. One photo even revealed Kelce's lock screen, which featured a black-and-white pic of the couple. Some fans thought Swift was flashing an engagement ring in the blurry image, since she is clearly holding up her hand. But the singer is reportedly wearing her boyfriend's Super Bowl rings in the image. She's proud of him.
