1. Rihanna and A$AP Rocky welcome their 1st child

Rihanna has love on the brain after officially becoming a mom. The "Diamonds" singer and A$AP Rocky have welcomed their first child together, a baby boy, according to TMZ. She reportedly gave birth on May 13 — just a few days after Mother's Day — in Los Angeles, though the baby's name hasn't been revealed. The couple announced they were expecting a child back in January, doing so via a photoshoot showing off her baby bump as they walked the chilly streets of New York. They've been together since 2020, and they're both becoming first-time parents just about a month after A$AP Rocky was arrested for allegedly firing a handgun at someone following an argument. Perhaps the rapper can welcome his son into the world with a Fight Club quote: "You met me at a very strange time in my life."
