Why do fans think Rihanna is pregnant?

While no rumors have been confirmed, many users have taken to their social media accounts to talk about whether or not Rihanna is pregnant.

One verified user, The Academy, wrote: "Rihanna is pregnant with her first child with A$AP Rocky."

The tweet has received thousands of retweets and favorites, but there is nothing to back up the claims.

Many people have posted photos from the inauguration ceremony in the Barbados, claiming Rihanna has a visible baby bump.

This is not the first time rumors have been sparked regarding the singer and fashion mogul.

In 2019, rumors began to swirl that the star was pregnant.

She addressed the rumors in an interview with Vogue, saying “I don’t think about stuff like that. But, I don’t know…God’s plan."

"I look forward to all of the pregnancy rumors after this interview," she continued.

Following the Met Gala in 2021, many fans also claimed Rihanna was hiding a pregnancy, due to her oversized ensemble.

How long have Rihanna and A$AP Rocky been together?

Rumors began to swirl that Rihanna and A$AP Rocky were a thing back in 2018 when the two were spotted sitting close together at the Louis Vuitton show for Paris Fashion Week.

The following year, Rihanna shared a photo of her and Rocky at the British Fashion Awards, captioning her photo: "And thank you @asaprocky for representing us on the carpet and always being so supportive of @Fenty."

At the end of 2019, Rihanna was seen in attendance at an A$AP Rocky concert in Sweden.

The two were spotted together again at the start of 2020, attending a concert together in New York.

In February of that year, an anonymous source told Us Weekly that the two were "hanging out and hooking up."

"They're having fun and have always had chemistry," the source claimed.

The two did a photoshoot together for the debut of Rihanna's Fenty skincare line, released in July of 2020.

Rocky then interviewed Rihanna for Vogue, in a video segment where the two were seen laughing and joking the whole time.

"I appreciate you, like for real, for real," he said in the video.

By the end of 2020, Rihanna and Rocky had been spotted together on numerous occasions, even taking a vacation together in the Barbados.

While on vacation, the two were photographed kissing on a boat, seemingly confirming their relationship.

In a 2021 interview with GQ, Rocky referred to Rihanna as "my lady" and the "love of my life."

"So much better when you got 'the one.' She amounts to probably, like, a million of the other ones," he said.

"I think when you know, you know. She's the one."

In September of 2021, the couple made their red carpet debut at the Met Gala.

Who else has Rihanna dated?

Rihanna has dated numerous high-profile men throughout the years.

From 2007 until 2009, Rihanna dated Chris Brown. The two broke up after an incident when Brown allegedly physically assaulted her.

The Barbadian singer went on to have an on-again, off-again relationship with rapper Drake, with the two seemingly ending on a bad note.

In a 2018 interview with Vogue, Rihanna said of Drake: "We don’t have a friendship now, but we’re not enemies either. It is what it is."

Rihanna briefly dated Travis Scott in 2015, but the romance fizzled out shortly after it began.

She dated Saudi businessman, Hassan Jameel, for three years before the couple split in January of 2020.
