The new baby name is likely in honor of Rihanna's father. “Rocki Irish Mayers Sept 13 2025,” the ‘Diamonds’ hitmaker wrote on Instagram alongside a photo of herself holding their baby girl.
This comes months after Rihanna debuted her baby bump ahead of the Met Gala in New York City. The 37-year-old walked the red carpet in a Marc Jacobs suit.
