Rihanna celebrated her first Mother’s Day with her son, beau A$AP Rocky and her growing second child-to-be in rare moments captured and shared on Instagram.
On Sunday, the Harlem rapper shared a series of intimate photos with the We Found Love singer and also revealed the name of their first child.
RZA Athelston Mayers, who celebrated his 1st birthday just the day before, is seen in the first picture looking cozy amidst his mother and father as they share a romantic kiss. In another picture, A$AP is seen holding his son while his mother stands beside them. She looks down at her son with a look of pride on her face.
Another moment from the carousel of photos shows A$AP holding his son as he appears to be happy while being held in front of a camera. And in another, the couple and child share a candid moment while taking a selfie.
A$AP also confirmed the name of his little boy, which was an ode to Wu-Tang Clan’s de facto leader, RZA. Before the images were shared, Daily Mail obtained a copy of his first son’s birth certificate, which also revealed that the child’s middle name is the same as A$AP’s middle name, Athelston.
“‘WU TANG IZ 4 DA CHUREN’ HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY TO MY 1st BORN RZA,” A$AP wrote in the caption to celebrate his son’s birth.
Last November, Rihanna shared with Entertainment Tonight what it was like to be a mother. “Oh my god, the mornings, like, seeing his morning face…seeing a baby with, like, little bags and waking up and they’re just, like, startled. They’re trying to figure out where they’re at. It’s the cutest, it’s my favorite part of the day.”
One month before her baby was born, Rihanna revealed to Vogue that she understood being a mother would be hard – especially considering she runs a multi-million-dollar empire – but she was confident that she could do it all.
“Balance is one of my biggest challenges and always has been,” she says. “And now there’s another human being coming into play, it changes what that means again. Still, I have businesses that aren’t going to run themselves. My mom handled the three of us with not even close to the amount of resources that I have, so I can absolutely do it. What it looks like? I’m not sure.”
