Last month, A$AP Rocky and Rihanna announced they’d been pregnant with their first child by sharing a pregnancy photoshoot with PEOPLE magazine. TMZ published a photo of the Barbadian star sporting a giant ring on her left hand’s ring finger. Now, there are rumors the couple plans to marry.
Does Rihanna’s Ring Represent an Engagement or Something Else?
Rihanna was seen by paparazzi while shopping at Kitson, a local boutique, in Los Angeles on Monday (Mar. 20). There’s a possibility the ring has nothing to do with an engagement. For instance, after receiving the Barbados National Hero award last November, she wore the same ring on another finger. Then, she rocked it on her middle finger while filming a music video with A$AP Rocky in July 2021.
Engagement rumors have been going around ever since A$AP Rocky and Rihanna started dating in November 2020. In August 2021, a source told Us Weekly an engagement was on the horizon.
“These two are so madly in love, and it’s true there’s a lot of buzz in their circle about an engagement being in the works,” they said. “Going by the hints Rocky’s been dropping, [it] may well happen soon, but there’s no pressure and what matters most to both of them is to keep building on this truly beautiful thing they’ve got going.”
Teasing the Fans
After Rihanna’s baby news, some people were more worried about the imaginary follow-up to ANTI, which has yet to happen. In February, the singer said she likes to annoy her fans by making them wait. However, two years later, the project still hasn’t happened.
Before her Savage X Fenty Show Vol. 3 in Los Angeles, Rihanna told the Associated Press, “You’re not going to expect what you hear — just put that in your mind. Whatever you know of Rihanna is not going to be what you hear. I’m really experimenting. Music is like fashion: you should be able to play. I should be able to wear whatever I want and I treat music the same way. So I’m having fun and it’s going to be completely different.”
