Fans have gushed over A$AP Rocky being a "supportive partner" during Rihanna's halftime show this evening.
This year's Super Bowl game saw the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles go head-to-head at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, both vying for the ultimate prize in football.
The Chiefs eventually took home the Lombardi Trophy, after a nail-biting 38-35 score.
However, it was Rihanna who dominated the headlines, having been joined by a special guest on stage for an iconic medley of hits.
The 36-year-old Barbadian singer popped in a PVC bustier and bright red jumpsuit that showed off her small baby bump, which she caressed several times throughout her standout solo performance. Mere hours later, a rep for the singer was able to confirm that she was indeed pregnant!
Her pregnancy announcement marks a second child for the 'Umbrella' singer, who is already mom to the nine-month-old baby boy she shares with boyfriend A$AP Rocky, 34. The pair welcomed him in May 2022, after first confirming that they'd be first-time parents together on January 31 that same year.
Ever the supportive partner, the 'Fashion Killa' rapper was captured on video cheering his girlfriend on during this evening's performance, even being praised by fans on Twitter.
The NFL posted a clip of A$AP recording Rihanna on his phone, beaming as he did so. "ASAP Rocky is everyone watching [Rihanna]," they tweeted.
Check out A$AP Rocky being Rihanna's biggest supporter at her halftime show:"We love a supportive partner [...]," one user replied underneath.
At the same time, many fans are taking the opportunity to jokingly berate the 'F***ing Problems' rapper for getting Rihanna pregnant, thus delaying her upcoming album. Her last studio album Anti was released in 2016, with fans waiting on the singer to release another one for the past seven years.
"Rihanna is pregnant again…not new music until 2050 asap rocky you will CRUMBLE [sic]," someone quipped.
"I JUST WANTED MY ALBUM [A$AP Rocky] GET OFF OF HER," another user added.
A further tweet read: "So Rihanna is pregnant again [...] Asap Rocky is not joking [...]."
A$AP has previously been transparent about how much love he has for Rihanna.
They first debuted their relationship - after being friends for years and even collaborating professionally - in May 2021, with the rapper telling GQ that the Grammy-winner was "the love of my life."
Speaking of their relationship, A$AP stated that being with Rihanna felt "so much better. So much better when you got 'the One.' She amounts to probably, like, a million of the other ones. I think when you know, you know. She's the One."
