Rihanna Wraps Legs Around Boyfriend A$AP Rocky At Festival In Barbados
The pair also passionately embraced each other at the festival.
The couple, both 34, enjoyed a rare night away from their first child, who they welcomed in May. The Life Me Up hitmaker, Rihanna had a chick look, rocking a pink minidress with red lace and red high heels as she attended the Imagine Weekend Climax Festival at the Kensington Oval in Barbados.
BF A$AP Rocky wore a black Red Sox baseball, a denim jacket, and white sneakers.
The Fenty Beauty founder completed her look with a retro boombox purse, beads, and hair in braids.
The outing comes just as she opened up to ET about the cherished time she spends with her little boy. She gushed: “I can’t describe it. It’s new. It’s fascinating. Every step, every facial expression, every new milestone. I love it.” However, as the lovebirds explored areas of the venue, DailyMail reported they held while walking on the grass.
Accordingly, the Diamonds hitmaker didn’t hesitate to wrap her legs around her beau as they listened to Popcaarn, Michel Montano and Bounty Killer perform on stage.
Earlier this month, Rihanna joked the beginning of motherhood is ‘like you’re tripping acid every day.’ The Ocean Eight star said: “Life starts over when you become a parent, it’s a life that you’ve never known before. It’s wild, trippy as hell. You look at him & he’s yours but he’s a stranger and you’re learning him as he’s learning you and learning the world. When he looks at me in my eyes, my whole soul. I can’t tell if it’s cold or hot.”
Rihanna also spoke of how becoming parents affected her relationship with rapper A$AP Rock. “It’s amazing to have a friendship be the center of our entire family, I love it.”
So far, the couple has both held off on sharing their six-month-old’s name with the world, and news that Rihanna was dating A$AP broke in January 2020 following her split from Hassan Jamel, whom she dated for nearly three years. Before now, Rihanna and A$AP had romantically linked in 2013 for a brief period when she was featured in his music video for Fashion Killa.
The Megastar’s pregnancy news hit headlines in January 2022 when she stepped out with Rocky in Harlem, NYC.
At the time, she looked proud, presenting her baby bump as she had a long hot pink jacket pulled back to expose her tummy. “None of the dials are turned down. I think I even say yes to more now because I know it will be different on the other side of this. At first, I expected some magical change, but I remain who I am,” Rihanna told Fashion bible.
The singer also told Vogue’s May 2022 issue that being pregnant didn’t slow her down.
However, Rihanna will have to juggle between being a mom and an entertainer as she prepares to headline the Super Bowl halftime show in 2023.
She admitted: “Balance is one of my biggest challenges and always has been. 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 three of us with not even close to the amount of resources that I have, so I can do it.”
