Birth Announcement and Meaning Behind the Name
Rihanna posted on Instagram a touching image of herself cradling her newborn. The baby girl wore a soft pink outfit with large bows, matching her mom.

This baby girl completes the family as Rihanna once said she dreamed of having “three or four” children. Both parents have expressed how much they value family, love, and raising their children with joy.
A$AP Rocky publicly hoped for a girl during Rihanna’s pregnancy, saying in recent interviews, “This time, I really need that” — a daughter. The couple did not learn the baby’s gender beforehand, choosing to keep it a surprise till birth.
