Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have quietly welcomed their second child.

Baby number two is here!

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have welcomed their second child into the world, according to reports.

Sources with "direct knowledge" told TMZ the singer gave birth on August 3 in Los Angeles. Although they haven't shared the news themselves, sources say they have welcomed a boy, who's name also begins with 'R'.

The singer, 35, announced she was expecting her second child with A$AP Rocky, 34, during her Super Bowl halftime performance in February 2023.

Their first baby was born in May 2022.

The pair shared his name, RZA Athelston Mayers, a year after he was born. 

It's believed he is named after producer and rapper RZA, the leader of the Wu-Tang Clan. Meanwhile, Athelston is Rihanna's partner's middle name.

Rocky shared photos of their son and family life on Father's Day in America in June 2023. 

"The Mayers boys stole my whole heart! Happy Father’s Day nerd," Rihanna commented on his post.

The Umbrella singer shared details of her birth with RZA for the first time in her Vogue cover interview in February 2023.

"It was beautiful," she told the publication. 

"I cannot believe it... Essentially, from one person I became two. You walk into the hospital as a couple and leave as a family of three. It’s nuts."

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight in November 2022, Rihanna said she "cherished" the small moments with her son.

"Oh, my God, in the mornings seeing his morning face! Seeing a baby with little bags and waking up and they're just startled. They're trying to figure out where they're at. It's the cutest," she said. 

"It's my favourite part of the day. He's amazing. He's a happy baby."
