Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have chosen a deeply meaningful name for their second son, Riot Rose Mayers, symbolizing their personal connection and passions. This name holds significance, as it may have been subtly hinted at during their appearance at the Met Gala in May.

A source close to the couple revealed that A$AP Rocky has a special affection for flowers, enjoying their presence in their home's decor and even incorporating real flowers into his style, like having them in his grill. Roses, in particular, hold a special place in Rihanna's heart as they are her favorite flowers.

According to the birth certificate obtained by The Blast, their second son was born on August 1st at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

Since Riot's birth, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have maintained a low profile, but they have plans to share a family picture soon, acknowledging the anticipation from their fans.

Earlier this year, Rihanna surprised her admirers with the announcement of her second pregnancy during the Super Bowl LVII halftime show, a heartwarming moment for her global fan base. A source close to the couple revealed that Rihanna cherishes motherhood as her greatest accomplishment and that expanding their family had always been a shared desire for her and A$AP Rocky.

Despite their demanding schedules, the couple has consistently supported each other and their growing family. Their parenting journey has strengthened their bond, as they've always had a strong connection. They are deeply in love and enjoy their time together.

Rihanna even performed at the Oscars in March while pregnant, singing her nominated single from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, "Lift Me Up." A$AP Rocky was proudly present in the audience, and backstage, he was photographed cradling her baby bump.

The couple's first child, a son named RZA, was born in May 2022. Although they usually keep their family life private, they shared their joy and love for each other in a photo shoot for British Vogue shortly before the Super Bowl.

Their choice of outfits at the Met Gala in May may have hinted at their second son's name. Rihanna wore a white Valentino gown adorned with large roses, showcasing her baby bump. In July, A$AP Rocky released the music video for his song, "Riot," where he was seen wearing the red plaid skirt he donned at the Met Gala.

Reflecting on her second pregnancy at the Met Gala, Rihanna shared her experience, noting the differences from her first pregnancy, including the absence of cravings and the presence of nausea. Nevertheless, she expressed her enjoyment and good feelings about the journey.

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky's love story started as a friendship and eventually blossomed into a public romance almost a decade later. A significant moment came in May 2021 when A$AP Rocky openly declared Rihanna as the love of his life in a GQ interview.
