Here is a paraphrased version of the story about Rihanna’s sons sharing clothes:
In an interview with Interview Magazine, Rihanna revealed that her 8-month-old son Riot is already wearing hand-me-downs from his 1-year-old brother RZA’s wardrobe. Rihanna explained that she has an extensive collection of her sons’ clothes, which are all neatly organized by size. As RZA outgrows certain items, Rihanna passes them down to the younger Riot.
The 36-year-old pop star noted that Riot is already fitting into RZA’s 1-year-old outfits, even though Riot is only 6 months old. Rihanna also joked that people often assume her partner A$AP Rocky dresses the kids, since she likes to put them in his stylish designs.
Rihanna went on to discuss Rocky’s own fashion sense, saying that when they go out together, she sometimes feels like his assistant because he always puts so much effort into his outfits, while she takes a more casual approach to her own look.
Rihanna explained that when it comes to getting dressed, the focus is more on ensuring her kids are outfitted stylishly, rather than there being any competition between her and A$AP Rocky. As she put it, “It’s more like I spend my time getting the kids dressed to death, and then I’m like, ‘What’s the most comfortable outfit to wear around them? What’s not going to feel uncomfortable on their face or on their body or make me feel like I can’t hold them properly?'”
Rather than aiming to match Rocky’s level of sartorial flair, Rihanna’s priority is finding practical, comfortable outfits for herself that allow her to easily care for and interact with her young sons. Her approach is centered more on functional dressing when it comes to her own look, in contrast to the more elaborate, fashion-forward ensembles she curates for her kids.
In the same interview, Rihanna expressed her hope of having a daughter someday. When asked by the stylist how many more children she plans to have, Rihanna replied, “As many as God wants me to have.”
When pressed on whether that means more than two kids, Rihanna said, “I don’t know what God wants, but I would go for more than two. I would try for my girl. But of course if it’s another boy, it’s another boy.”
Rihanna and her partner A$AP Rocky welcomed their first son, RZA, in May 2022. They then had their second son, Riot, in August 2023. While Rihanna seems open to the idea of having more children, she made clear that her ultimate goal is to have a daughter to complete her family.
