Rihanna has sparked speculation about expanding her family after responding playfully to a social media post about pregnancy plans for the new year.
On January 11, 2026, former Love Island star Montana Rose Brown shared an Instagram video in which she appeared contemplative. The clip featured a text overlay that read, “Deciding to get hot and sexy or get pregnant in 2026.” Brown, who shares two children with her fiancé, professional rugby player Mark O’Connor, captioned the post with hashtags related to motherhood and parenthood.
Rihanna, 37, commented directly under the post, writing, “Wait! So I’m not crazy then? Bet!” The remark quickly gained attention across social media and entertainment platforms, as it came just four months after she welcomed her third child.
The singer gave birth to a daughter, Rocki Irish Mayers, on September 13, 2025. Rihanna shares three children with rapper A$AP Rocky, including sons RZA, born in 2022, and Riot, born in 2023. The couple announced Rocki’s arrival on Instagram with photos of the newborn, captioned simply: “Rocki Irish Mayers Sept 13 2025.”
In a recent interview featured in entertainment coverage, Rihanna spoke warmly about motherhood. She described the experience as “amazing, and I’m honestly truly blessed. For real.” Speaking about her favorite moments, she said, “Oh my god, the mornings. Seeing a baby with like little bags and waking up and they’re just like startled. They’re trying to figure out where they at is the cutest. It’s my favorite part of the day.” She added that she cherishes these quiet moments, noting again, “It’s my favorite part of the day.”
A source close to the family previously shared that “Rihanna always wanted a little army of kids. Her number one priority is being a great mom and everything else comes after that.”
The comment has also reignited discussions among fans about her music career. Rihanna’s last studio album, Anti, was released in January 2016, marking a decade since its release, and has been certified six times platinum. Addressing her music in the same coverage, she said, “Yes, you’re still going to get music from me. I have been working on the album for so long. I don’t want to neglect the songs that I have. So, I’m I want to actually go back and like listen to stuff with new ears, um with my new perspective, and then see what what applies and what I still am in love with.”
When asked about possibly including lullabies in her music, she laughed and replied, “Oh my goodness. Not a lullaby. My fans would kill me they waited this long for a lullaby.”
Fan reactions online have been mixed. While some have expressed concern about further delays to her anticipated ninth album, often referred to as R9, others continue to support her focus on family. Although the comment remains lighthearted and unconfirmed, it underscores Rihanna’s continued emphasis on motherhood alongside her multifaceted career.
