Rihanna Opens Up About Motherhood and Breaking Generational Curses with Partner A$ASP Rocky
Pop sensation Rihanna is shedding light on her parenting journey with partner A$ASP Rocky, as they navigate raising their two children together. The “Diamonds” singer, who recently welcomed their youngest son, Riot Rose, in August, shared her aspirations for creating a family that breaks “generational curses” in a recent interview with “Access Hollywood” at the relaunch of her Fenty x Puma collection on December 18.
Reflecting on her hopes for a family, Rihanna expressed, “You just hope, ‘I can have kids one day and I hope I can have them in love, and I hope that I can be a part of a family that breaks generational curses and moves forward and does new things and raises our kids better than we were raised and all the beautiful things.’” She joyfully remarked on the realization of these hopes, stating, “And it’s happening, and I can’t believe it.”
In a light-hearted moment, the Grammy winner humorously commented on the distinctive features of her offspring, saying, “The only thing I imagined was probably the forehead on RZA. Riot doesn’t have it. I’m like, ‘Wait, are you sure (he’s mine)?’ You can’t lose this thing!”

Rihanna also praised A$ASP Rocky’s parenting, describing how becoming a father has changed her perspective on him. “It’s a turn-on. It’s just like, ‘Wow! What a leader, what a great, patient, loving (father),’” she expressed. In addition, she highlighted the strong bond between A$ASP Rocky and their children, emphasizing, “My kids are obsessed with him. I’m just a background … I’m like an extra. Yep! It happens! … It doesn’t matter if it’s girls or boys, they love their dad differently, and I love to see it.”
A$ASP Rocky reciprocated the admiration in a recent Instagram interview with “Complex,” praising their collaborative effort in parenting. “I think we do a real great job at collaborating making children,” he humorously remarked, calling it their “best creation.” The rapper also acknowledged the profound impact of fatherhood on his life, stating, “It’s beautiful. Honestly, I think fatherhood gives me more time to do exactly what I want. I don’t have time for anything that isn’t priorities. I love it. Everything is just based around my newfound love for being a dad and a family man. It’s lit right now. I can’t even describe it.”
