Global music superstar Rihanna and rapper ASAP Rocky have officially welcomed their first daughter, adding a new chapter to their growing family. The singer announced the arrival on Wednesday with an emotional Instagram post that instantly went viral.
In the post, Rihanna is seen tenderly holding her newborn, dressed in a soft pink jumpsuit. The caption revealed the baby’s name, Rocki Irish Mayers, along with her date of birth, September 13, 2025. The choice of name not only pays tribute to her father’s stage persona but also extends the couple’s unique tradition of giving their children names beginning with the letter “R.”
Baby Rocki is now the youngest of three. Rihanna and ASAP Rocky are already parents to two sons: RZA, born in May 2022, and Riot, born in August 2023. Fans quickly noted the symmetry, as both parents’ real names, Robyn and Rakim, also start with the same letter.
