The superstar singer confirmed the news on Instagram Wednesday (Sept. 17), sharing an intimate photo of herself holding the newborn alongside a pair of pink boxing gloves tied with ribbon, symbolizing the fighter spirit of her daughter’s arrival.

Rocki Irish was born on Saturday, September 13, joining her big brothers RZA and Riot. The comment section of Rihanna’s post was flooded with celebratory messages from fans, with many hailing the arrival of her long-awaited “mini-me.” One Navy member wrote: “Welcome to the Navy family, princess!” while another added: “Congratulations sis! You finally got your baby girl. What a blessing!”

A$AP Rocky on Wanting a Daughter

Before the official announcement, A$AP Rocky hinted at his desire for a daughter during a recent Elle interview. “I hope it’s a girl. I really do,” Rocky said. “We’re praying for 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.”

He also joked about baby names in GQ, claiming that he and Rihanna had considered naming their child after Denzel Washington, regardless of gender: “Denzel, no matter what. The first female [to] come out named Denzel, it’s lit. We got it figured out.” Rocky and Denzel recently starred together in Spike Lee’s latest film Highest 2 Lowest.
