Rihanna has sent social media users into a frenzy after sharing a video of her son for the very first time on TikTok.

Earlier this year, the musician and her partner A$AP Rocky, both 34, welcomed a baby boy and have since kept the newborn out of the spotlight.

However, on December 17, the 'Umbrella' hitmaker took to the video-sharing app to post the very first glimpse of her six-month-old baby boy in his car seat.

In the heartwarming video, her son - whose name has not been revealed yet - can be seen cheekily grinning at the camera and pulling funny faces.

Check out the adorable video below:

At one point in the clip, the baby boy tries to grab the camera with his little hands. He also yawns and sits back in his car seat, staring out the window, ready for a nap.

Since dropping the adorable footage, at the time of writing the 'Diamonds' singer had already amassed 11.5 million views and 3.4 million likes for her debut video on TikTok.

Many fans have also been delighted by the video, with one user gushing: "NEPHEW LOOKING HANDSOME BRB CRYING."

In addition, the 'Lift Me Up' singer allowed the entertainment website Hollywood Unlocked to exclusively obtain and publish three photos of the baby boy on Saturday (December 17).

In one of the pictures shared on Instagram, the baby is wearing a white onesie and has a pacifier. In another, his 34-year-old father - whose real name is Rakim Athelaston Mayers - is holding him up to the camera.

Again, people noted the similarity between mother and son, with one person stating: "Looks just like RIHANNA WOW!"

The precious first look comes after the 'Love On The Brain' superstar shared a few details about motherhood and her new bundle of joy at her Savage X Fenty Vol. 4 show in November.

Speaking to People magazine, Rihanna remarked: "He is funny, he’s happy - and he’s fat!", before adding with a laugh: "He’s amazing. It’s a real cuddly stage right now."

While promoting the brand, the singer also told E! News that becoming a mom has made her notice the similarities between herself and her mother Monica Braithwaite.

"It is weird. Even the little things that annoy me about her, I do it. I literally make all of the same faces. I say the same things. I clear my throat the same way. I move my mouth the same way," she said.
