Rihanna Has Always Wanted to Have Kids. Now She’s Found Someone Who Fulfilled Her Dream and Calls Her “The One”

Rihanna has always done whatever she wanted with her personal life and has never listened to anyone else. She has been in and out of relationships and has had many partners. However, her dream to have a child, unfortunately, remained just a dream. But, eventually, the singer found the person meant for her and had a son with him. And she is so sure of her partner that she wants to have more kids with him.

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky

Rihanna’s personal life has been capturing the attention of millions of fans for over 10 years. It all started in 2007 when the singer started dating Chris Brown. The couple seemed happy, but in February 2009, everything suddenly ended with a scandal and a court case. It turned out that Chris had abused the singer and ended up being punished. At the time, it seemed that any chance of them getting back together was out of the question. However, three years later, they decided to try again.

“I was very protective of him. I felt that people didn’t understand him.”

This time, the singer publicly defended her relationship and was confident that these renewed feelings were forever. Moreover, Rihanna honestly admitted that she wanted to have kids with Chris and saw a future with him. However, their reunion only lasted a few months. The young woman realized she had dreamed that her partner would change, but you can’t change another person.

“If you put up with it, maybe you are agreeing that you [deserve] this, and that’s when I finally had to say, ‘Uh-oh, I was stupid thinking I was built for this. Sometimes you just have to walk away.”

Of course, the young Bajan didn’t even think of being alone. The singer was going from one man to another, making it clear that this was all just for fun and that nothing serious was to be expected. Even the famous ladies’ man, Leonardo DiCaprio, fell under Rihanna’s spell. But the young woman was determined to stay free, and that’s exactly what she did.

Her desire to have children, however, didn’t disappear: Rihanna openly admitted to it during the course of several years.

“It’s not necessarily everyone’s dream to be a mom. But it’s mine.”

Rihanna and Drake

It was because the singer didn’t tolerate being “held down” that her relationship with Drake ended. People who saw the couple together were convinced that they really are close to each other. However, if the couple were ever to be together, it certainly wouldn’t be now.

And then there was her relationship with the Saudi Arabian businessman. Somehow, the couple seemed to do the impossible by combining Hassan’s seriousness with Rihanna’s fun and wild nature. But three years later, that relationship also ended. Rihanna decided that even the desire to have children shouldn’t be a reason to stay with a man you don’t want a relationship with: she would do just fine on her own.

“I feel like society makes me want to feel like, ’Oh, you got it wrong.’ They diminish you as a mother if there’s not a dad in your kids’ lives. But the only thing that matters is happiness, that’s the only healthy relationship between a parent and a child. That’s the only thing that can raise a child truly, is love.”

But in 2020, something happened that didn’t fit her usual relationship pattern. Rihanna started dating rapper A$AP Rocky and everyone around her sensed that this was serious. The couple spoke openly about their feelings and that they see each other as partners for life. A$AP Rocky himself was quite frank in saying that Rihanna is the love of his life.

In 2022, Rihanna gave birth to the rapper’s son and admits that, even though she and her partner didn’t plan for a baby, it all turned out to be a real adventure. And it makes no difference that they’re not married: everything happens as it’s supposed to. Moreover, the singer has said that she wants to have more kids with A$AP Rocky. And those who know them say that the couple is a real team in their parenting.

“Oh my god, the mornings, like, seeing his morning face! Seeing a baby with, like, little bags and waking up and they’re just, like, startled. They’re trying to figure out where they’re at. It’s the cutest, it’s my favorite part of the day. He’s amazing, he’s a happy baby.”

The way Rihanna talks about being a mother makes it clear: she is truly happy. And she has also proven by her own example that even after many breakups, it is possible to find the right person. The main thing is to not settle for less.

How many breakups have you been through? Do you think they’re an important step on the road to happiness?
