Is Rihanna a married woman? That is what her millions of followers seem to think after the unexpected comment from the father of her children, the rapper A$AP Rocky, when she appeared by surprise at the concert he was giving in Cannes last Wednesday.
The one from Barbados was coming to the 2023 Cannes Lions Festival and the rapper did not hesitate to refer to her as “my wife” before dedicating one of his songs to her: “I would like to dedicate this song to my precious wife,” he declared out loud.
An affectionate way of calling her that made Rihanna smile enormously, and that did not go unnoticed by any of those present, because in a matter of seconds it sparked all kinds of speculation about the couple, with rumors of a possible marriage being held before the arrival of their second child, scheduled for the coming weeks.
The singer, 35, and the father of her children -real name Rakim Athelaston Mayers-, 34; They are already the parents of a child, RZA Athelston, and are awaiting the arrival of the second baby, whose sex or chosen name is unknown at the moment.
Once the New York rapper’s concert ended, he met with Rihanna, the rest of his team and some guests -among whom were celebrities known as actress Chloe Fineman or comedian Tiffany Haddish- in the VIP area, before moving to Nice, where they enjoyed dinner at the exclusive Nespo restaurant.
According to Page Six, the comment could have been intentional, although neither of the couple’s representatives has spoken about it nor have public documents been found to support the theory of the secret wedding, but that has not stopped their followers from following inquiring
The couple have been together since 2012, since the rapper became the opening act for the singer on her Diamonds world tour. A friendship that became love, but did not become a relationship until 2018, when the Barbadian ended her relationship with businessman Hassan Jameel.
Two years later, the New Yorker becomes the image of Fenty Skin and the first rumors of romance emerge, which become official in May 2021, when they confirm their sentimental relationship. “She is the love of my life, my girl. Everything in life is better, much better when you have found the ultimate person,” Mayers told GQ magazine.
Since then, there has been talk of betrothal. Now, the only thing that has been confirmed has been the arrival of her first child, Sza.
But the rumors do not stop. Just a few months ago, during the famous Met fashion gala, a similar situation was experienced again for the dress the artist was wearing, inspired by a wedding dress.
The message with which he shared some images of the impressive creation on social networks did not help too much to dispel the rumors: “Greetings to the bridesmaids, here comes the bride.”
