How did Rihanna reveal her pregnancy?

If you’re thinking she revealed it on the Met Gala carpet, no, she didn’t! Fans outside and close to her, where she was getting ready, spotted the singer. She did not try to hide her growing baby bump and seemed to be all smiles.

She was also pictured with an umbrella in a blue Miu Miu two-piece with her visible bump.

However, the internet was ready for the singer, as the memes over the pregnancy were hilarious. For context, the 37-year-old has been pregnant for almost three years straight, in 2022, 2023, and 2025.

The internet had mixed reactions to her pregnancy reveal. Many were elated for the singer. However, others were wondering: where is the album?

Where is the album?

“Rihanna, when we said R9, we meant the album… not 9 kids,” one user on X said.

ANTI was the singer’s last album in 2016.

The mom-to-be even reacted to a question about whether her pregnancy would put her album on hold. To Entertainment Tonight, she said, “No, maybe a couple of videos. But I can sing!”

That’s what we like to hear.

“Can she debut an album next?” another fan of the singer asked.

Unsurprising

Other users were unsurprised by the singer being pregnant again, and the memes are hysterical.

‘Rihanna is pregnant.’ Fork found in the kitchen?” remarked one sarcastic user.

“Should’ve known the moment Asap jumped across that table Rihanna was finna have baby #3 cooking,” commented one user.

Back in February 2025, A$AP Rocky was found not guilty of firing a gun at a former friend. In celebration of his trial verdict, he jumped across the table to hug his girlfriend, which became a meme.

Meanwhile, another person commented, “Rihanna pregnant again?” with a clip attached that said, ‘You’re 38 years old, how long you going to keep doing this?’

Well, until she gets a girl, we imagine…

Happy for Rihanna

On the other hand, many fans of the singer welcomed the idea of her being pregnant.

“Lol Rihanna really gave us her younger years and now she’s dedicating these years to herself, her man, and her family… can’t be mad at that,” said one user.

Similarly, another fan of the singer asked what was wrong with her being pregnant. Also, they pointed out the singer “gave us her 20s” and urged fans to “let her live”.

To conclude, one user said, “People are so pressed regarding Rihanna’s third pregnancy. She’s blessed us with a legendary catalog. Now she’s a mother and has the right to be. I would love for her to release a new album. Until then, we should enjoy the great music she’s blessed us with”.
