In a recent interview with W Magazine, A$AP Rocky opened up about the profound changes he has observed in his long-term partner, Rihanna, since she became a mother. The couple, who share three children together, are the focus of the latest magazine cover, featuring their newborn daughter, Rocki Irish. The rapper, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, spoke candidly about how parenthood has reshaped Rihanna’s persona, while also highlighting her innate charm and charisma.

Rocky, 37, reflected on Rihanna’s evolution following the birth of their children. He noted that becoming a mother has significantly altered her outlook on life. “She has changed a lot because she became a mother in that time span, and that certainly changes you,” he explained. “But this woman has always been magic.” His praise continued, as he described her philosophical approach to life, stating, “Her energy is unmatched—one of a kind. I just adore her.”
The couple welcomed their third child, Rocki, on 13 September, expanding their family which already includes two sons: RZA, born in 2022, and Riot, born in 2023. Rocky provided insight into their family dynamic, expressing how the arrival of Rocki has infused fresh energy into their household. According to him, Rihanna is “over the moon” to have a daughter, having longed for more “girly energy” amid their two sons. A source previously shared that Rihanna has embraced her role as a mother to a girl, relishing the anticipated joy of shopping and dressing her daughter.
Despite their busy schedules, Rocky mentioned that he and Rihanna share many interests, particularly a fondness for documentaries. “We were addicted to watching documentaries, like the Bob Marley one,” he remarked. Their enjoyment of shared activities, including watching films together, has contributed to their close relationship. “We must’ve watched El Cantante 15 times,” he added, illustrating their dedication to finding enjoyment in each other’s company.
Rihanna’s excitement about her new arrival has transformed the family dynamic. A source close to the couple shared that both parents are thrilled their sons, RZA and Riot, will grow up alongside their little sister, fostering a sibling bond that is strengthened by their similar ages. “Ri’s always wanted a big family, and she’s excited to do all the girl stuff. Rocky’s just been saying he feels lucky,” the insider revealed.
In a separate conversation with *Esquire*, A$AP Rocky showcased his love for his children, revealing intriguing details about their personalities. He playfully described RZA as a picky eater while Riot appears to have a sweet tooth. “Man, I miss my kids,” he confessed, further elaborating on the lighter aspects of family life. “RZA’s finally starting to stick up for himself again—I remember when RZA used to bully the s–t out of Riot when Riot couldn’t walk and talk.”
Rocky also recounted an amusing anecdote where his son snitched on him to Rihanna. When he left the house without informing her, young RZA notified his mother of his father’s departure. The rapper recalled the moment, saying, “He was like, ‘Dada left. Dada left through the door,’” he chuckled, recalling Rihanna’s light-hearted response about the importance of saying goodbye.
Rihanna’s transformation into motherhood has not only affected her but has also brought joy and laughter into their home. Despite the challenges of raising three young children, A$AP Rocky’s admiration for Rihanna continues to shine through in his comments. The couple’s bond remains strong as they navigate the joys and trials of parenthood together.
As both Rocky and Rihanna embrace their roles as parents, it is clear that their love and dedication to their family provide a strong foundation for their children’s upbringing. The couple’s journey as parents continues to be a testament to their enduring partnership and commitment to nurturing a warm family environment. With their shared interests and joyous interactions, it is evident that the future holds promising experiences for this vibrant family.
