In March, Rihanna opened up about her "legendary" first few months as a mother in British Vogue's March 2023 issue. "It's everything. You really don't remember your life before and it's the craziest thing ever," she told the British publication. "You do try to remember it - and the pictures of my old life - but the feeling, the desire, the things you liked, everything, you just don't identify with it because you don't even allow yourself to mentally remember it ."It got to this point because...because it didn't matter. "
After revealing her second pregnancy during the 2023 Super Bowl halftime show, Rihanna also joked that RZA's unborn sibling has also "attended" high-profile events like the Oscars and this year's Met Gala. "It's very different from the first time," she said while sharing a pregnancy update on the red carpet at Entertainment Tonight . "No cravings. A lot of nausea. Everything is different, but I'm enjoying it. ... I feel It's great. I feel energetic."

Meanwhile, A$AP chimed in, telling the outlet, "[He's] growing. Beautiful, happy baby." The latest photo of the "Praise the Lord" rapper RZA certainly confirms that sentiment.
