Indeed, the 'What's My Name?' singer has given birth to another beautiful baby with her long-time partner and fellow musician, A$AP Rocky.

The star shared the news on Instagram overnight, announcing that she gave birth on September 13.

For those who need a refresher on 37-year-old Rihanna's iconic pregnancy reveal, after stepping out of the car at New York's Carlyle Hotel for the high-fashion, star-studded event back in May, fans' attention was immediately captured by her midriff.

Without giving any prior hints about her 'delicate condition', the Barbadian superstar soon started showcasing her stunning belly, highlighting that her family was expecting a new member.

Fans quickly took to social media, eager for confirmation. "Is she pregnant again? Omgggg," one fan demanded.

Another implored: "WAIT IS SHE?"

"Rihanna is really pregnant with baby #3, that Met Gala glow is incredible!" a third noted. "ASAP Rocky won."

The rapper confirmed the joyous news that evening, discussing her outfit with a press member on the red carpet. "Rihanna’s outfit tonight is ... I don’t know, whatever," he told a CBS reporter.

"Just don’t cover her baby bump, you dig?"

The 'Umbrella' singer also shared with Entertainment Tonight how she felt about expecting her third child.

"I’m feeling surprisingly okay, not too overwhelmed right now," she stated at the time. "Initially, I was kind of tired, but I’m excited."

And now, the couple has welcomed their third child - a beautiful baby girl!

In an Instagram post, the singer shared her daughter's name, Rocki Irish Mayers, along with some adorable photos of her.

Rihanna and A$AP are already proud parents to two sons, RZA Athelston Mayers and Riot Rose Mayers.

Her second pregnancy, with Riot, was famously confirmed in style at the Super Bowl Halftime show in 2023.

After his birth, the star told Teen Vogue she hoped to have a daughter someday.

When asked how many children she wanted, Rihanna replied: "As many as God wants me to have. … I would go for more than two.

"I would try for my girl. But of course, if it’s another boy, it’s another boy."

While shopping earlier this month, she told Entertainment Tonight that she and her partner knew the baby's sex but were keeping it private. "A few people know..." she said at the time. "Don’t try to catch me now."

Congratulations, Ri-Ri!
