In these charming pictures, the pair, who are renowned for their distinctive sense of style and unmistakable chemistry, introduced Riot Rose, their second son, to the world.

Riot Rose’s resemblance to his older brother, RZA Athelson Mayers, is striking and undeniably cute, as the two siblings share charming features that melt hearts. These cherished family photos reveal the sincere joy that Rihanna, ASAP Rocky, and their two sons radiate, fostering a feeling of warmth and togetherness. The internet has been abuzz with admiration for the now family of four.

Riot Rose Mayers was born on August 1, 2023, at 7:41 a.m. in Cedar Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles, according to sources from the Daily Mail. The world was taken aback when 35-year-old billionaire Rihanna revealed her pregnancy in February 2023 during her iconic performance at the Super Bowl halftime show. She revealed her growing bump in front of adoring spectators and football enthusiasts, shocking the entertainment industry.

In keeping with their tradition, Rihanna and ASAP Rocky have once again chosen a name for their child that begins with the letter ‘R’, just like their firstborn son, RZA Athelson Mayers. RZA’s name pays tribute to the producer and rapper Robert Fitzgerald Diggs, better known as RZA.

According to People Magazine, Rihanna now believes her family is complete and has no plans to have more children. Riot Rose’s name has sparked speculation as to its origin, with some speculating that it may be related to the rapper’s song (ASAP Rocky) “The Riot”, which features Pharrell Williams.

In an interview with British Vogue in March, Rihanna shared her motherhood journey, expressing her newfound respect for her parents. She said,

“Having a kid honestly unlocks another side of life where you’re now in the matrix with the people who’ve already had kids. You come to have a different respect for moms and dads. 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. And oh, my gosh, those first days are insane. You don’t sleep. At all. Not even if you wanted to”.

Following the announcement of Rihanna’s safe delivery, words of congratulations from her supporters and well-wishers poured onto social media. As the world gets its first look at the lovely “super bowl” baby, Riot Rose, the outpouring of love continues.

5 Smart Style Tips to Learn From Chioma Nnadi | Who What Wear

In recent years, Condé Nast has been implementing cost-cutting measures and streamlining editorial operations by eliminating the Editor-in-Chief roles at many of Vogue’s international editions.

Edward Enninful’s position will now be filled by Chioma Nnadi, a highly acclaimed Vogue veteran with an exceptional thirteen-year tenure with the publication. British Vogue now follows the same editorial guidelines as other European versions of the magazine as a result of this tactical decision.

In these editions, the traditional Editor-in-Chief positions have been phased out, making way for younger, digitally savvy, and more cost-effective editorial leaders.
