Rihanna said “Being a Mom is an Olympic Sport”
Billionaire singer Rihanna has shared her thoughts on motherhood, describing the experience of being a “boy mom” as akin to participating in an Olympic sport. The 36-year-old mother of two recently posted a video on her X handle, showing her first son, RZA, struggling to climb out of his baby cot. After several attempts, RZA finally succeeded, prompting Rihanna to caption the video: “Being a boy mom is an Olympic sport 🤦♀️🤦♀️.”
Rihanna and her partner, A$AP Rocky, welcomed their son RZA on May 19, 2022, shortly after they confirmed their relationship. Their family grew in August 2023 with the birth of their second son, Riot Ross. The singer’s candid remarks resonate with many parents who understand the challenges and joys of raising energetic boys.
Earlier this year, there were rumors that Rihanna was expecting her third child. However, she clarified in an interview with ET that those rumors were false. Despite this, she expressed a desire to have more children in the future, stating she would “definitely” consider expanding her family.
In a conversation with Interview Magazine, Rihanna revealed that she had been hoping for a daughter but has welcomed two sons instead. “I don’t know what God wants, but I would go for more than two. I would try for my girl. But of course, if it’s another boy, it’s another boy,” she explained, highlighting her determination to keep trying.
Her lighthearted take on motherhood reflects the everyday realities many parents face while navigating the challenges of raising young children. Rihanna’s openness about her experiences as a mother adds to her relatability and showcases her ability to find humor in the daily struggles of parenting.
Through her posts, Rihanna not only shares her journey as a mother but also connects with other parents who understand the ups and downs of family life. Her ability to balance her career and motherhood continues to inspire fans around the world, proving that being a mom, especially to boys, is a full-time job filled with both laughter and challenges.
As Rihanna embraces her role as a mother, her commitment to family remains a priority in her life, and fans eagerly anticipate what’s next for the superstar. Whether she has more boys or eventually gets her daughter, Rihanna is ready to tackle the challenges of motherhood head-on.
