Rihanna has welcomed a baby boy with her partner A$AP Rocky.

Sources with "direct knowledge" shared the happy news with TMZ and went on to share that the child was born on May 13 in Los Angeles. The little one's name, however, is not yet known.

The pair announced that they were expecting back in January. The Barbados-born 'We Found Love' hitmaker revealed her baby bump in a series of images taken on a recent photoshoot in NYC.

Despite the freezing temperatures, Rihanna was spotted out on a walk as she made no effort to hide her baby bump. In fact, she was seen bearing it proudly

Take a look at Rihanna's blossoming baby bump right here:

The pair have known each other for almost a decade, but their relationship only turned romantic in 2020.

Fans speculated she was pregnant in November last year after she reportedly asked staff not to smoke around her when she attended Barbados' first-ever presidential inauguration.

Some also claimed they had seen a baby bump. But she shut down rumors the following month, when a fan tweeted her: "Can I come to the baby shower sis!? True or not your babies are going to be beautiful. Sorry everyone’s up in your uterus right now."

"Ha! Stop! You ain’t came to the first 10 baby showers! Y’all breed me every year dammit lol," she wrote.

At the time, fans reacted to the exciting baby news on social media, as they rushed to Twitter to congratulate the singer and rapper.

"CONGRATULATIONS TO ASAP ROCKY AND RIHANNA," wrote one fan.

Another added: "CONGRATS ON YOUR PREGNANCY @RIHANNA."

"I just know rihanna is gonna be an amazing mother," a third added, before another agreed, adding: Rihanna’s gonna be an amazing mother, that’s for sure."

Another fan added: "A BABY IS COMING! Congratulations to Rihanna and A$AP Rocky for the wonderful news and may she deliver the baby in good health."

A$AP - real name Rakim Athelaston Mayers - confirmed his romance with Rihanna last year, describing her as "the love of [his] life."
