People magazine shared images Monday morning of the couple out in New York City over the weekend. In the photos, Rihanna’s baby bump can be clearly seen.

Rumors about Rihanna and Rocky dating swirled for years before the rapper and record producer confirmed their relationship in an interview in May with GQ, calling her “the love of my life.”

“I think when you know, you know,” he said. “She’s the one.”

He added that he thought he would be “an incredible, remarkably, overall amazing dad.”

“I would have a very fly child,” he said, according to GQ. “Very.”

In 2018, Rihanna said in a interview published in Interview magazine that she wanted to be a mother “more than anything in life.” Two years later, she told British Vogue that by 2030 she imagined that she’d have kids, “three or four of ‘em.”

Rihanna and Rocky began dating in late 2020, TMZ reported.
