Rihanna is pregnant with her second baby, a representative confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter following her 2023 Super Bowl halftime show, after fans speculated about her appearance.
The singer was dressed in a curve-hugging red outfit and appeared to rub her belly during the airborne performance at the State Farm Arena in Glendale, Arizona, where she treated viewers to a medley of some of her biggest hits.

I might regret this. But when you become a mom, there’s something that just happens where you feel like you can take on the world. The Super Bowl is one of the biggest stages in the world, so as scary as that was because I haven’t been on stage in seven years, there’s something exhilarating about the challenge of it all … It’s important for my son to see that.”

Fans have been obsessing and speculating about the two stars being an item for years — ever since their chemistry nearly bubbled over during a saucy co-performance at the 2012 VMAs. But it wasn’t until sometime in 2020, when the coronavirus pandemic hit, that the two would officially turn their friendship into a romance. “He became my family […]
