A Timeline of Rihanna and A$AP Rocky's Years-Long Romance

Rihanna and A$AP's relationship traces all the way back to 2011 when the two collaborated on a remix of Rihanna's song "Cockiness (Love It)" off her "Talk That Talk" album. The following year, they performed the song at the MTV Video Music Awards, and the sparks were already flying!

Following their collaboration, Rocky joined Rihanna on the North American portion of her Diamonds World Tour in 2013. That same year, Rihanna was featured in his "Fashion Killa" music video as the main love interest.

For the greater portion of five years, rumors of Rihanna and Rocky dating constantly circulated in the media, despite the two having well-documented romances with other people. Rihanna dated businessman Hassan Jameel from 2017 until their split in 2020. Rocky, on the other hand, was linked with a few different people, including Kendall Jenner.

Despite being in a relationship with Jameel at the time, the buzz around Rihanna and Rocky's relationship started circulating when the pair were seen cozied up at the Louis Vuitton Runway Show at Paris Fashion Week in 2018.

Following their appearance at Paris Fashion Week, the two began to appear together at more public outings. In September 2019, Rocky was seen at Rihanna's Diamond Ball, and just three months later, the pair attended the British Fashion Awards together in London. At the time, there was no reason to believe their quality time together was anything more than friendly. And still, in January 2020, Rihanna and Jameel broke up, though it had nothing to do with her bond with Rocky.

In August 2020, A$AP joined Rihanna in a photo shoot for her new release of Fenty Skin. While promoting the skincare line, the pair did joint video interviews with GQ and Vogue, and their chemistry was strong, which left many wondering if and when they would start dating.

After what seemed like an eternity for fans manifesting the couple, People confirmed in November 2020 that Rihanna and Rocky were in a relationship. A source also told Us Weekly that "A$AP has been very into Rihanna for years" and "was always the instigator" when the two would flirt.

Following a few months of dating and public outings, Rocky opened up to GQ about his relationship with Rihanna and couldn't stop raving about his GF. In the interview, he said the singer was his "lady" and "love of his life." When asked about the seriousness of their bond and if she was "the one," Rocky said, "She amounts to probably, like, a million of the other ones. I think when you know, you know. She's the One."

After several months of dating, Rocky and Rihanna stole the show together at the Met Gala with their over-the-top outfits and PDA, looking elated and so in love.

Just when you thought you couldn't be more obsessed with Rocky and Rihanna as a couple, on Jan. 31, 2022, People reported that the pair were expecting following Rihanna's public appearance with a baby bump in New York City the previous weekend.

Nearly four months after announcing that they were expecting their first child, multiple reports confirmed that Rihanna and Rocky welcomed their little one, a baby boy whose name has still not been revealed, on May 13. "They have not left each other's side," a source told Entertainment Tonight at the time. "They are over the moon. She's been looking forward to motherhood for a long time. This little boy is going to have the best baby fashion."

On Oct. 26, 2022, after multiple outings together since the birth of their son, Rihanna and Rocky stepped out for their first big Hollywood event as parents, attending the star-studded Los Angeles premiere of "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" — which Rihanna contributed her Golden Globe and Oscar-nominated original song, "Lift Me Up."

In celebration of her nominated song, Rihanna and Rocky attended the 2023 Golden Globe Awards together, making a grand appearance in matching all-Black outfits.

Rihanna took baby reveals to the next level during the 2023 Super Bowl halftime show, where she not-so-subtly revealed a small bump while running through her many iconic hits on stage, with her beau Rocky close by filming and cheering her on. Though Rihanna's rep did not immediately respond to POPSUGAR's request for comment, they later confirmed to multiple outlets after her performance that she's, indeed, expecting her second child.

In a repeat of their buzzy 2021 Met Gala appearance, Rihanna and Rocky arrived at the biggest night in fashion very fashionably late (and long after all the livestreams had gone dark), but they still managed to steal the show in red carpet photos with their spectacular outfits and their effortless chemistry.

On Aug. 21, Entertainment Tonight confirmed that the couple are now parents of two. No other details about the newborn, including their name, have been revealed.

"Rihanna and ASAP will spend the early days of parenthood out of the public eye and won't make any immediate plans to debut the new baby," a source told ET.

"Rihanna and A$AP are great right now," the insider continued. "They're so excited to grow their family and are so united when it comes to parenting. They have so much fun together and are very in love. They already shared a special connection and parenting together has made their bond even stronger."
