Rihanna really knows how to stop a show. Here we are, the Monday after the Super Bowl and we really thought we were going to be talking about Rihanna’s actual halftime performance. Sure, she did a great job and performed an amazing medley of her biggest hits with dozens of dancers and elevated stages but it’s what was going on inside Rihanna’s belly that had everyone talking. When she first appeared on stage, she was wearing a red jump suit that was unzippered and people were quick to point out that her stomach looked a little, let’s just say bloated. But we all know she recently had a baby so many didn’t want to jump to any conclusions. But it became clear within minutes of Rihanna rubbing her baby bump that she was trying to make an announcement, much like Beyonce at the MTV VMA’s back in 2011. After the performance, Twitter had exploded with all kinds of speculation until we received actual confirmation from her reps that she is indeed pregnant with her second child with Asap Rocky. The couple welcomed their first child back in May of 2022. A source told People Magazine “Everything Rihanna does, she does it her own way on her own time table, and having a baby is no different,” the source said, adding that the couple were over the moon about their baby on the way. “They’re just like any other pair of parents-to-be. Yes, they happen to be famous, but they’re just the cutest, giddiest young couple that’s expecting kids.”
Of course, with this announcement comes some hilarious Twitter reactions. Many people were questioning it at first and didn’t want to ask the question in case it was a case of Rihanna not losing the baby weight. Many were confident and just happy for them. Here are some of the best reactions.
