Previously, Rihanna revealed news of her second child during her explosive Super Bowl performance in 2023. During her set, she cradled her midsection several times, prompting speculation on social media that she was expecting again. Her rep confirmed shortly after the performance that she was indeed pregnant, and in August of that year, her and Rocky welcomed their second son Riot. Rihanna and Rocky had their first child, RZA, in May 2022.
In April 2024, Rihanna spoke with Interview magazine about potentially adding more children to their family. 'As many as god wants me to have,' she said. 'I don't know what god wants, but I would go for more than two. I would try for my girl. But of course if it's another boy, it's another boy.'
Outside of family life, Rihanna is due to star as the voice of Smurfette in the animated film 'Smurfs,' out July 18. Rocky, meanwhile, has been gearing up for his fourth studio album 'Don't Be Dumb,' which is tentatively due for release this year, and will appear in Spike Lee's upcoming film 'Highest 2 Lowest,' in theaters August 22.
Rihanna was recently by Rocky's side during his felony shooting trial in Los Angeles. Rocky was facing two assault charges stemming from a 2021 shooting incident that occurred outside the W Hotel in Hollywood. After a three-week trial, Rocky was found not guilty on all counts, jumping over the stand to hug Rihanna and his mother, Renee Black, and sister Erika Mayers.

Jennifer Lopez has funny response to fan asking for hand in marriage
Jennifer Lopez is not looking to head down the aisle again anytime soon. During a stop in Spain during her Up All Night tour July 15, as seen in social media video, the singer spotted a fan sign that read: "JLo marry me." "I think I'm done with that," she said with a laugh, signaling a "no" with a neck-swipe gesture. "I've tried that a few times." Lopez is just coming off her divorce from Ben Affleck, which was finalized in January, after Lopez first filed on Aug. 20, 2024, the second anniversary of the estranged couple's Georgia wedding ceremony. The two were engaged to each other twice: first in 2002, then again in 2022. Lopez has been married four times: to then-waiter Ojani Noa, dancer Cris Judd, singer Marc Anthony – with whom she shares two children – and Affleck. Following tabloid rumors of their split, Lopez canceled her This Is Me... Live tour and announced she was "taking time off to be with her children, family and close friends." She told comedian and TV host Nikki Glaser in an Interview magazine cover story after news of their divorce became public that the period was "probably the hardest time of my life." "There's times when I thought I figured it out, and then life goes, 'Let's send you another thing and see if you fall for it. Let's see if you really have learned that lesson,'" Lopez said in October. "And I hadn't. I understand that now in a much deeper way, which doesn't mean that I won't make mistakes in the future, but again, when your whole house blows up, you're standing there in the rubble going, 'How do I not ever let that happen again?'" Jennifer Garner, Ben Affleck reunite for family night at Boston Red Sox baseball game Affleck, 52, broke his silence on the divorce in March, telling GQ in an interview that he has "nothing but respect" for the singer and stressed that there was no single, dramatic event that ended their marriage. "There's no scandal, no soap opera, no intrigue," he told the outlet. "The truth is, when you talk to somebody, 'Hey, what happened?' Well, there is no: 'This is what happened.'" But Affleck said that while there is "a tendency to look at breakups and want to identify root causes or something," the truth of his split from Lopez "is much more quotidian than probably people would believe or would be interesting."

‘Eclipse fancy Hollywood actors at Wrexham!' - Tom Brady's ‘Built in Birmingham' goal as NFL legend adds documentary to rivalry with Ryan Reynolds & Rob McElhenney
Super Bowl winner is involved with the Blues Record-breaking season enjoyed in 2024-25 Documentary to be streamed on Prime Video Follow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱 WHAT HAPPENED? NFL legend Brady saw his first season associated with the Blues, after becoming a minority stakeholder, end in relegation disaster - with the appointment of Manchester United icon Wayne Rooney as manager contributing to that demise. THE GOSSIP Birmingham bounced back from that disappointment in style, with some big spending in the transfer market allowing them to best Wrexham and claim the League One title in record-breaking style with 111 points. The story of that campaign is being told by 'Built In Birmingham: Brady and the Blues', with Wrexham co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney facing competition on the field and in the documentary-making department. WHAT BRADY SAID Brady has told his personal blog of an exciting venture: 'Built in Birmingham is an effort to reach the world beyond BCFC's incredible, hardcore blue collar fanbase, and show people what we're all about. 'Show them what it takes to win and what we're doing inside the team to make winning a permanent part of the culture. Birmingham is a city with a team that has seen better days, but is full of people who have shown themselves to be willing to reach down and find within themselves the will and desire to struggle and strive on a daily basis in pursuit of success. 'Those values are contagious. Our hope with the docuseries is that they will rub off on everyone who watches it and inspire them to both join our community and make their own communities stronger.' DID YOU KNOW? Brady added, with a playful dig being aimed in the direction of Reynolds and McElhenney: 'With the documentary, I'm glad we're getting a chance to show the world a glimpse of what Birmingham City is like as we move forward into a brighter, winning future. 'Going into this season, we've had a lot of changes, but we believe we're building something very special with many better days ahead of us. 'You know, Birmingham City has a great song called 'Keep Right On'. I'm confident that if we continue to 'keep right on' finding people and players that value winning, who want to do it the right way, with the right mindset and motivation, and the right values, we can build a global community around the team that rivals organisations like the Savannah Bananas and the All Blacks, and maybe one day soon eclipses what those fancy Hollywood actors are doing over at Wrexham AFC. That would be the true definition of success!' WHAT NEXT FOR BIRMINGHAM? Birmingham and Wrexham will be locking horns again in the Championship next season, as both pursue the ultimate goal of earning Premier League status, with the Blues' exciting documentary series set to air on Amazon Prime Video from August 1.

Parasocial Fan Believes He In Real Relationship With Taylor Swift
LEAWOOD, KS—Suffering from a severe delusion that he shared an intimate connection with the pop superstar, local parasocial fan Travis Kelce reportedly continued to insist Wednesday that he was in a real relationship with Taylor Swift. 'For the past two years, Travis has followed her across the globe, calling himself her boyfriend and deluding himself into thinking there's a world in which someone like her would ever know someone like him exists,' said Kelce's visibly worried mother, Donna Kelce, who noted that the psychological break with reality had begun at one of Swift's concerts when the then-33-year-old single man tried to hand the singer a friendship bracelet he had made and her security intervened. 'Ever since that day, he's been convinced this interaction led to some fairytale relationship full of public appearances, nights out on the town, and exotic vacations on a private jet, but really it's all a one-sided fantasy. He won't listen to any of us who try to reason with him—he just keeps saying he's going to propose to her at the Super Bowl. Unfortunately, Travis is too far gone to understand how crazy that sounds. It's very sad.' At press time, sources confirmed Donna Kelce had called the authorities on her son after he began spouting gibberish about how Rob Gronkowski had told him it was time to have a baby with Swift.
