Rihanna sports a pregnancy support belt as she enjoys family outing with son Riot and A$AP Rocky in Paris
The singer, 37, shares two sons, RZA, three, and Riot, 23 months, with her rapper boyfriend A$AP Rocky, 36, and she is currently expecting their third.
She went public with her latest pregnancy at this May's Met Gala, which Rocky co-chaired.
Rihanna proudly bared her bump in a white vest top and used a support strap - which helps support posture and ease discomfort.
She completed the look with a pair of grey jogging bottoms and black sunglasses.
Meanwhile, Rocky, whose real name is Rakim Athelaston Mayers, cut a casual figure in a blue T-shirt as he carried their youngest child into a car.
Rihanna's latest outing comes two days after Rocky appeared to accidentally reveal the gender of their third child while attending the world premiere of her film Smurfs held at Mont des Arts in Brussels, Belgium on Sunday.
When ET 's Kevin Frazier asked the 36-year-old rapper 'Is that the girl you've been waiting for' he immediately replied: 'It is, man, it is.'
Feeling cornered, A$AP then held up a plush Smurfette doll and redirected: 'Right here, you know what I'm saying? Right here.'
Over on ET's official Instagram account, fans went wild with user @aysenuurkc exclaiming: 'It's [a] girl!'
'He definitely gave it away,' Instagram user @khadija_sufi laughed.
'How cutely he promoted the movie and showed his love for her!' Instagram user @fashionistaera21 gushed. 'That's a real man supporting his girl.'
Instagram user @hot_cheetos_0001 commented: 'Put a ring on it. Do it the right way.'
'He needs to marry her,' Instagram user @chibiapril0412 agreed.
When Frazier asked Rihanna the same question, she smiled coyly and replied: 'Let's see if it's a Smurfette...It could be a Papa Smurf. Who knows?'
Riri (born Robyn Fenty) did confirm that the couple would give their next child a name that begins with R: 'That's the one thing me and Rocky don't fight over.'
When asked how many more children they planned on having, the two-time Grammy nominee joked: 'We [are] going to be like the Wayans' family, you know? Yeah, I mean, love is beautiful and it's just [about] spreading it.'
The nine-time Grammy winner and A$Rocky already welcomed two sons during their five-year relationship and she hasn't been shy in the past over her dream of having a daughter.
But the power couple - who share matching 1988 tattoos to mark their birth year - originally met in 2011 when she first enlisted him to rap on her song Cockiness (Love It).
Rocky was facing up to eight years in prison until February 18 when a jury found him not guilty of two counts of assault with a semi-automatic firearm stemming from a 2021 shooting of his longtime friend A$AP Relli (born Terell Ephron).
The AWGE founder's late Bajan father reportedly went to prison when he was only 12, and he spent his teen years moving around homeless shelters with his mother and sister.
Rihanna produced and voiced Smurfette in Paramount Animation's Smurfs - hitting UK/US theaters July 18 - along with writing and recording original songs like Friend Of Mine.
Smurfette was previously voiced by the Bajan billionaire's rival pop stars Katy Perry and Demi Lovato.
Chris Miller's animated film will also feature Nick Offerman, Natasha Lyonne, JP Karliak, Dan Levy, Amy Sedaris, Nick Kroll, James Corden, Octavia Spencer, Hannah Waddingham, Sandra Oh, Alex Winter, Billie Lourd, Xolo Maridueña, Kurt Russell, and John Goodman.
Rocky also took on an acting role as Yung Felony in Spike Lee's critically-acclaimed neo-noir crime thriller Highest 2 Lowest, which hits US theaters August 22 before streaming on Apple TV+ starting September 5.
But there is still no release date for the New York native's long-delayed fourth studio album, Don't Be Dumb.
Rihanna also keeps busy with her $3B lingerie line Savage X Fenty, which she parlayed into a $600M cosmetics company Fenty Beauty as well as Fenty Skin, Fenty Fragrance, and Fenty Hair.

This is the last Tour de France on free-to-air and cycling will never be the same
When the peloton rolls out of Lille on Saturday for the start of the 112th edition of the Tour de France, it will mark the beginning of the end of one of British sport's great institutions. Nearly 40 years after Channel 4 first screened the highlights of the Tour de France in 1986 – played in by that iconic Pete Shelley theme music – ITV will this year broadcast coverage of cycling's biggest race on free-to-air for the final time. As of next year, the Tour will be behind a paywall in the UK, on TNT Sports. It is the end of an era. 'It's going to be emotional,' admits commentator Ned Boulting who has been part of ITV's coverage since 2003, and who will reprise his role this year alongside David Millar, continuing a line going back to Paul Sherwen and Phil Liggett. 'That's very nearly 40 years of continuity. So that's almost three generations of viewers within families. You know, that's grandparents, parents, and children, all of whom have come through the same very familiar routine. The same faces and voices, the same look and feel, the same style. It's unique in broadcasting.' 'A hammer blow for cycling' Once the emotion dies down, the question is: what does it mean for cycling in the UK, both in terms of viewing figures and participation? Will the sport wither on the vine, stuck behind a paywall where no one will watch it? Will the next generation of potential Geraint Thomases and Tom Pidcocks be starved of inspiration? Or might cycling benefit from being lumped in with bigger sports in the TNT Sports portfolio such as football and rugby, attracting new, crossover fans? It is fair to say fan reaction when the initial announcement was made last autumn that Warner Bros. Discovery, which owns TNT Sports, had bought the exclusive UK rights to the Tour, was not positive. There was sadness at the demise of the much-loved ITV coverage, particularly the daily highlights show. But public opinion really nosedived when WBD announced in January that it was axing Eurosport UK and cycling fans would have to shell out for the full TNT Sports subscription to access bike races in the UK. Not just the Tour, but the Giro d'Italia, the Vuelta a España, the spring classics, the whole caboodle. From £6.99 a month for Eurosport to £30.99 a month for TNT Sports – a price hike of some 400 per cent. Outraged fans – who, a couple of years ago were so spoilt they could get every obscure race under the sun for £5 a month on the GCN+ app, before it was bought and shuttered by WBD – threatened to boycott the channel, while others claimed WBD would get more people into piracy than they would cycling. The debate even reached the Houses of Parliament with Ben Obese-Jecty, the Conservative MP, securing a debate on the merits of free-to-air coverage of professional cycling in Westminster Hall on March 5. In an impassioned speech, Obese-Jecty told of how he had been inspired as a child by the exploits of British mountain bike rider Jason McRoy, whose races were occasionally shown on Eurosport. Describing the channel's demise as 'a hammer blow for coverage of cycling in the UK' he argued that cycling going behind a paywall would have a number of unintended consequences. It would mean children in the UK were not exposed to a sport which was patently good for their health. It would impact on the next generation of wannabe Bradley Wigginses. 'To be popular, a sport must be visible,' he said. 'To be visible, a sport must have a television presence. The Government would never allow the Fifa World Cup, the Olympics or Wimbledon to be put behind a paywall. With an estimated 12 million spectators attending the race each year, the Tour de France is easily the most attended sporting event in the world. 'Will the Government consider how it can inspire a new generation of Froomes and Cavendishes to take up the mantle and consider what they are doing to restore a sporting jewel, in which we have enjoyed such recent success, to the masses, lest its absence from our screens cause the sport to wither on the vine?' Stephanie Peacock, the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, replied to say that she was grateful to the honorary member for bringing the matter to her attention, and that she 'sympathised' with his points, but that it was entirely up to the rights holder to determine whether any coverage will be available to free-to-air television in the future. New coverage, but less viewers TNT, understandably keen not to be painted as the villains here, say that is already happening. There is already a new hour-long programme called The Ultimate Cycling Show, hosted by Orla Chennaoui and Adam Blythe, shown on its free-to-air Quest channel, as well as daily highlights shows on the same channel during the recent Giro. The same is planned for the Vuelta a España in August. Only the Tour will remain fully behind a paywall, although a TNT spokesperson suggested the possibility of free-to-air highlights being shown on Quest next year, or in 2027, when the grand depart is once again scheduled to take place in the UK, was under consideration. What might the impact be on UK cycling by then, though? Again, WBD defend themselves. They claim over half of Eurosport viewers already had access to TNT Sports at the time of Eurosport's closure. They maintain that being part of a package which include Champions League and Premiership Rugby will introduce new fans to the sport. They also point out, rightly, that ITV declined to renew its broadcast rights for the Tour, whereas it is investing millions into cycling. Like football and cricket on Sky Sports, they promise to innovate and raise standards. That may all be true. But it does not change the fact that the Tour is disappearing from free-to-air TV and millions of fans will be left without a show which was appointment viewing for three weeks every year. As Obese-Jecty MP said: 'The reassuring tones of Gary Imlach and the encyclopaedic knowledge of Ned Boulting will no longer be staples of cycling fans' summers.' Boulting smiles at that line. 'The fact it got debated in Parliament is insane,' he says. 'David and my names are in the Hansard register now.' He does find the fans' backlash interesting, though, mainly because of how persistent it has been. 'The level of engagement with the topic just doesn't seem to have died down,' he says. 'In fact, the closer we get to the Tour the more it is ramping up. I think it's because, unlike the Ashes, or the Olympics, the Tour is every summer. It's an annual event, which just anchors its place in the rhythm of the year for so many family lives. That, I think, is the reason why the noise around it is so persistent and so loud.' Like many subscription channels, TNT does not release its viewing figures; or say how many new subscribers have signed up since shutting Eurosport down. Even if it did, it would be difficult to tell how many had signed up for cycling as opposed to its other sports. But Boulting stresses he wants the new landscape to be a success, not least because a bigger fanbase will drive more listeners to the Never Strays Far podcast he co-hosts with Millar. New TMS-style podcast planned The pair have big plans for the podcast next year, which they will confirm on Saturday. But essentially they involve Millar and Boulting driving around France in a camper van, with Lizzie Deignan as their co-host, doing live podcasts from the roadside, only looking away from the race, so the cameras watch them watching the action in the style of Soccer Saturday. 'We're going to call it Never Strays Far: Live in France,' Millar says. 'So we'll be on the race, following the race, watching the race, and just relaying as much of it as we can. We'll put it out as video as well, almost certainly on YouTube, but across as many platforms as we can.' 'Think TMS [ Test Match Special ],' Boulting says. 'It will be whimsical, irreverent. We'll chat to fans. We'll broadcast from random squares or places on the route. We won't be rights holders so we won't be able to show race footage. And we won't have accreditation. That's very important. But we can always go see riders in hotels or wherever. 'The Tour de France has always been about much more than the race,' he adds. 'And I think that's one of the things that our ITV viewers really understand and value. And we want to encourage a big percentage of these suddenly disenfranchised viewers to keep the Tour de France in their lives in this new form, where they can. We are very familiar voices and faces to them. And Lizzie will be an absolutely unbelievable addition to our team.' Will they sleep in the camper? Boulting laughs. 'Funnily enough that was Lizzie's first question. No. We're going to have plastic key cards to get into Campanile hotel rooms.. In fact, we might try and do the whole thing in Campaniles. The dream.' One more emotional lap It remains to be seen how it all shakes out; what exactly the loss of free-to-air will do to cycling in the UK. But in the meantime Imlach, Boulting, Millar, as well as reporters Daniel Friebe and Matt Rendell, are preparing for one final, emotional lap of France. 'I think the producers are definitely going to celebrate the heritage,' Boulting reflects. 'You know, it's tricky for ITV because they don't want to put up on great big billboards: 'We're leaving the sport'. But on the other hand, this is a unique programme, a unique event, and a unique association that has gone on for a long time. So they acknowledge that, and they are going to celebrate, you know, in style I think. 'For sure, we're going to hear the Channel 4 theme tune that so many people are nostalgic about. We're going to drill down into all that history, repeatedly, throughout the three weeks. The Tour de France allows us that. It gives us that time to be reflective and to sort of dredge the seabed of memories that people have.' How will he feel when it's over? 'I find it emotional at the best of times. When we sign off on the show each year, when the sun goes down behind the podium and you get the Arc de Triomphe in the background, I always find that a very emotional moment. Because we're tired, we've been on the race for three weeks, we've made it to Paris, and that's it, we're signing off. Signing off for the final time in three weeks will be a very hard thing to get right.'

Viral ‘strawberry' manicure leaves the internet horrified with many saying the nail design makes them ‘feel ill'
PASTELS and fruit-inspired themes are just some of the latest nail trends for this summer. The glorious season is all about rocking as much colour as possible and many beauty buffs have been loving getting a strawberry-inspired manicure. 5 5 This is exactly the look one woman from Hamburg, Germany, jumped on recently - but the final result has left hundreds of thousands horrified. The artist behind the masterpiece, Tanja Gravina, regularly shares bizarre and unusual nail designs to her 18.6k followers on TikTok - and her latest work is no exception. In the past, the hair, make-up and nail artist has created ''rotting nails'', a 3D spider design perfect for Halloween, ''swamp water aquarium'' nails and even a grim manicure with yellow gnashers. Keeping up with the shocking designs, Tanja also recently left social media users with their jaws on the floor with her latest piece - ''cute strawberry summer nails''. Much like the rest of her pieces, this unconventional mani is in 3D, with deep 'pores' for the seeds and texture - enough to make many feel ''ill''. Tanja, whose unusual work has won her a whopping 2million likes on the platform, also opted to ditch the signature juicy red colour we usually associate the berry with. Instead, the young woman went for a paler look - which she described as ''slightly bloody''. Showing off the shocking pointy nails from all angles, Tanja wrote in the caption: ''Aren't they just so summery and dainty?'' 'What in the jeepers creepers is this?!?!' It's not the first time Tanja has left people horrified with her unusual designs - and this work is no exception. As more than 10,000 viewers gave the video a like, over 2,000 flooded to comments in sheer horror. One terrified TikToker said: ''You say strawberry I see Freddy Krueger.'' Another wrote: ''I think we have a different definition of cute.'' ''This made me feel ill,' someone else chimed in. ''Been checking your account and you make the most disgusting nails I've ever seen. Be proud of yourself,'' a fan praised the young woman. ''What in the jeepers creepers is this?!?!'' a horrified viewer wanted to know. What age can you take kid to get their nails done? MUMS have sparked controversy after allowing their kids to get acrylic nails. But just how old do they have to be to be allowed to get them done legally. According to the National Occupational Standards, anyone under the age of 16 has to be accompanied by an adult. They also need written consent from a parents or guardian. It's also a good idea to check that the salon you're planning to go to - just to ask if they offer services to children. Pickle-inspired nails 5 5 We previously reported on another bizarre nail trend that was all the rage in LA last year - pickle-inspired toes that look like you have fungus on your feet. Yes, that's right - a 3D nail art depicting crunchy pickles and even a jar of the cult favourite cupboard staple painted on your nails. Whilst many of us are choosing an ombré design or opting for more vibrant colours, the music producer Benny Blanco left social media users totally horrified with his pickle toes. The 37-year-old, who's dating the American singer and actress Selena Gomez, 32, is reported to have even asked the nail tech to paint the girlfriend's favourite pickle brand too, Yahoo! said earlier. Benny, real name Benjamin Joseph Levin, proudly showed off his new pedicure in an Instagram post from nail technician @nailedbytav. The star, who began dating Selena midway through 2023, shared close-up snaps of his pickle feet via Instagram Stories. Both of his big toes included the logo of Selena's favorite pickle brand — Best Maid Pickles - whilst the rest of the toes included intricate and realistic nail art to resemble pickles.
