Ciara has hinted Rihanna is already thinking about potentially having a fourth child – just hours after announcing she is pregnant with her third baby. The revelation has sparked excitement among fans of both music stars.
“Congratulations to her,” singer Rihanna – who has sons RZA, two, and Riot, 21 months, with rapper A$AP Rocky – confirmed her third pregnancy at the 2025 Met Gala on Monday night (05.05.25), and she bumped into the 39-year-old singer-songwriter and her husband, NFL star Russell Wilson, 36. The Met Gala has become a significant venue for celebrity pregnancy announcements over the years.
Mother-of-four Ciara has told how she and Rihanna had a “straight mommy talk” conversation at the star-studded event, and the two couples discussed the possibility of she and Russell having a fifth baby, and Rihanna and A$AP having a fourth child. The friendly exchange highlights the close bond between the two music icons.
Speaking on chat show ‘Sherri’, she said: “Congratulations to her. Their conversation took place during one of fashion’s most prestigious nights, with numerous celebrities witnessing the sweet interaction.
“Oh my gosh, it was so sweet running into her. The Met Gala provides a rare opportunity for celebrities to connect personally amid the glamour and spectacle of the event.
“I just have to shout her out because I’m so proud of her. The support between female artists has become increasingly visible in recent years.
“This is her third baby she’s having now. Rihanna’s growing family has become a focal point alongside her successful business ventures.
“We were cracking up talking about … because Russ was with us, and ASAP, we all took a picture together. The moment was captured by photographers at the event, showing the two power couples sharing a genuine moment.
“Then he started talking about cinco [five], because you know I have four, Russell Wilson has embraced his role as both biological father and stepfather with open arms.
“So he’s talking about cinco and then we start talking about cuatro [four] for her. The playful Spanish counting references added a lighthearted element to their conversation about family planning.
“Well, she got to get through the tres [three] first, that’s the third baby. Both artists have balanced thriving careers with growing families.
“It was straight mommy talk. Just sweet love. The genuine friendship between the two stars spans many years in the music industry.
“It was a special moment.” Their interaction represents a positive example of women supporting women in both personal and professional realms.
Ciara praised Rihanna for “rocking” her pregnancy at the 2025 Met Gala, which took place at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, where she cradled her baby bump while wearing a Marc Jacobs outfit. Rihanna’s fashion choices throughout her pregnancies have consistently drawn praise for redefining maternity style.
She said: “I’ve got to shout her out, because she also sent me a sweet DM a few months back saying she’s so proud of me. Their support extends beyond public interactions to private encouragement as well.
“It’s just sweet love. It’s beautiful. Their friendship stands out in an industry often characterized by competition.
“It’s really beautiful. And I’m proud of her, too. Both women have evolved from young artists to multifaceted businesswomen and mothers.
“She is rocking it.” Rihanna’s approach to pregnancy fashion has pushed boundaries and challenged conventional expectations.
The pals have six children between them, with one on the way, and Ciara believes it is great to see her and Rihanna have still been “successful” and pursued their “dreams” as well as have babies. Their parallel journeys represent the changing face of motherhood in the entertainment industry.
She said: “What you get to see through our journeys as moms, and every woman that’s doing it is you can really do it. This perspective offers encouragement to women balancing career ambitions with family aspirations.
“You can live your life, have beautiful, precious babies and still pursue your dreams. Both artists have expanded beyond music into fashion, beauty, and other business ventures while growing their families.
“Be successful.” Their achievements across multiple industries while raising young children offer an inspiring example of modern motherhood.
The friendly exchange between these two music powerhouses highlights how their relationship has evolved from industry peers to fellow mothers sharing experiences and supporting each other through life’s major milestones. Their conversation reflects a broader cultural shift toward celebrating women who choose both career fulfillment and motherhood.
