After famously debuting her blossoming baby bump at this year's Met Gala, Rihanna has become a mother for the third time.

That's right, the 'What's My Name?' hit-maker has given birth to another beautiful baby with long-term partner and fellow musician, A$AP Rocky.

The star made the announcement overnight on Instagram, revealing she gave birth on 13 September.

For those in need of a reminder of 37-year-old Rihanna's iconic pregnancy announcement, after climbing out of the car following her arrival at New York's Carlyle Hotel for the high-fashion, star-studded soiree back in May, fans' eyes were immediately drawn to her midriff.

Not having given any prior notice regarding her 'delicate condition', the Barbadian chart-topper soon began brandishing her beautiful belly, emphasising that her family was expecting a new addition.

Fans immediately flocked to social media, desperate for some confirmation. "Is she pregnant again? Omgggg," one demanded.

"Rihanna is really pregnant with baby #3 that Met Gala glow gon chew omfggg!" a third noted. "ASAP Rocky won."

The rapper went on to confirm the happy news that night, discussing her outfit with a member of the press on the red carpet. "Rihanna’s outfit tonight is ... I don’t know, whatever," he told a CBS reporter.

"Just don’t cover her baby hump, you dig?"

The 'Umbrella' singer also went on to tell Entertainment Tonight how she felt to be expecting baby no. 3.

"I’m good, shockingly feeling okay, and not too overwhelmed at the moment," she claimed at the time. "At first, I was kind of like, tired, but I’m excited."

And now, the couple have since welcomed their third child together - and it's a girl!

Writing on Instagram, the singer revealed the name of their daughter, Rocki Irish Mayers, as well as some sweet snaps of the little one.

Rihanna and A$AP are already parents to two elder sons, RZA Athelston Mayers and Riot Rose Mayers.

Her second pregnancy, with Riot, was famously confirmed with style at the Super Bowl Halftime show in 2023.

Following his birth, the star went on to tell Teen Vogue she was hoping for a daughter later down the line.

Asked how many kids she wanted, Rihanna replied: "As many as God wants me to have. … 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."

Whilst out shopping earlier this month, she previously told Entertainment Tonight she and her parter knew the sex of the baby, but were keeping it private. "A few people know..." she said at the time. "Don’t try to catch me now."

Congrats, Ri-Ri!
