Rihanna Sparks Marriage Rumors with New Ring!

Rihanna's latest outing did little to quash rumours that she has secretly married her long-term partner and father of her children A$AP Rocky.

They have been at the center of marriage speculation this past year, fuelled by her referring to him as her 'loving husband' and him describing her as his 'wife.'

The singer, 37,  stepped out earlier this week flashing a ring on her wedding finger, while doing a grocery shop at a local supermarket in .

And Rihanna was sporting the same bling on her finger during a separate outing in the city, further fuelling speculation she has married her partner.

The pregnant star, who already has two sons with A$AP Rocky, dressed for comfort in a slouchy grey tracksuit and a form-fitting T-shirt with shades.

Rihanna has repeatedly set off engagement rumors in recent months by wearing a ring on her wedding finger. 

She has been involved with since 2020, and the couple share three children, sons RZA, three, and Riot, two, and daughter Rocki, nearly five months.

Rihanna is currently pregnant with their third child, whom A$AP says they're .

Asked by journalist Clover Hope if he looks forward to being a husband, the Harlem-bred music artist quipped, 'How you know I'm not already a husband?'

But he played coy as he laughed and followed up, 'I'm still not gonna confirm it.'

Fans took to social media to share their opinions on whether or not the power couple has actually tied the knot. 

One person wrote on X, 'They are not married. They like freedom.'

Someone else rationalized why the lovebirds might want to keep their business under wraps.

'I don't understand what the secret would be about if Rihanna and A$AP are married,' she reasoned. 'They [have] kids and everyone [has] been happy for them, so why hide being married?'

The social media user, whose handle is @Adore_Shay, added, 'Sometimes celebrities just wanna keep something to themselves maybe? I don't know.'

In his cover story interview, the Fashion Killa hitmaker, real name Rakim Mayers, predicted and hoped out loud that the couple's third baby will be a girl.

He said, 'I hope it’s a girl. I really do. We’re praying for a girl. Our first time, we wanted to know the sex of the baby. The second time, we didn’t want to know. Third time, we don’t want to know until, you know.'

And the proud dad added, 'I feel like it’s going to be a girl. This pregnancy is so different from the other two. You can tell from the experience. I hope it’s a baby girl, man. I need that.'

A fan wrote under Elle's promotional Instagram post, 'I love how excited he is about the possibility of a girl and how much he seems to be relishing the family life. It's great to see!'

Rihanna and A$AP initially teased that they had potentially music video.

The duo acted out a wedding ceremony with the Bajan songstress donning a blood-red wedding dress and veil.

And her beau flashed gold grills that read 'Marry Me' while she wore a corresponding set reading, 'I do.'

The song, an ode to the Fenty mogul, contains the lyrics: 'I was lost then but I found you / Little slim thick with a bounce too.'

And the soon-to-be dad-of-three also refers to the billionaire businesswoman as his 'angel' and 'goddess.' 

Rihanna's latest sighting comes after Bad Bunny delivered what was estimated to be the most-watched Super Bowl halftime show ever - knocking Rihanna down to fourth place.

Bad Bunny reportedly reached 135.4 million people worldwide, breaking the previous record held by Kendrick Lamar, who netted 133.5 million viewers last year.

One year earlier, Usher's star-studded show was watched by 129.3 million people, with Rihanna trailing just behind him with 121 million viewers in 2023.

Rihanna's Super Bowl show was preceded by a frenzy of feverish anticipation, particularly since she had previously .

The Umbrella singer shared in 2019 that she had 'absolutely' turned down the Super Bowl that year in solidarity with NFL players who were 'taking a knee' and refusing to stand for the national anthem in protest against the police.

'I just couldn't be a sellout. I couldn't be an enabler,' she told Vogue, after the show she declined was eventually played by Maroon 5, featuring Big Boi and Travis Scott.

A few years later, however, she underwent a change of heart and performed at the 2023 Super Bowl amid an explosion of fanfare.

The event marked the first time she had sung on television in five years, since she and DJ Khaled delivered a rendition of Wild Thoughts at the 2018 Grammys.

When her comeback show began, fans were initially surprised that her choreography was less strenuous than what they were accustomed to seeing from her.

All their questions were answered, however, when Rihanna revealed her blossoming baby bump, announcing she was  and making history as the first singer to play the Super Bowl pregnant.

Her and Rocky's family has continued to grow since, with them welcoming their third child and first daughter Rocki Irish Mayers this past September.
