One week after making her bombshell baby announcement on the world’s biggest stage, Rihanna is ringing in her 35th birthday.
The expectant mother got a ‘bada*s birthday’ shout out from her lingerie brand, SAVAGE X FENTY BY RIHANNA, who offered up a ‘Rihcap’ of her biggest year yet in a gushing Instagram post.
Along with the caption, the brand posted an edgy race car themed snap of their fearless leader in a checkered flag cape, sunnies and her bespoke lingerie.

What a year! Fans went bonkers last week at Rihanna’s unexpected baby bump reveal when she took the stage during the Super Bowl halftime show
Donning an eye catching red costume on a floating platform, Riri debuted her bump to the world while performing a medley of her greatest hits.
This will be the second child for the mogul and her boyfriend, rapper A$AP Rocky, who share a nine month old son. The couple have been in a relationship since 2020.
After the Super Bowl and pregnancy reveal, the couple appeared on the March cover of Vogue.
Speaking to the magazine, Rihanna said Rocky is her ‘best friend’ and admitted she can’t remember what her life was like before having her son in May 2022.
She said of becoming a mother: ‘It’s everything, you really don’t remember life before, that’s the craziest thing ever.’
Rihanna said her first few months as a mother were a rollercoaster and described giving birth as a ‘head-f**k’, saying she couldn’t believe she entered the hospital pregnant and left with a baby.
‘Everything changes when you have a baby but I wouldn’t say it’s done anything but made us closer,’ she recently told Vogue
Happy family! She also gushed over Rocky’s relationship with their son, saying their baby boy needs validation from his father as she described their close bond
Rihanna admitted that having a child has also made her reevaluate as she described raising her son as one of the ‘scariest’ responsibilities ever in her life.
She said: ‘Raising a young Black man is one of the scariest responsibilities in life […] ‘You’re like, ‘What am I leaving my kids to? This is the planet they’re gonna be living on?’
‘Everything changes when you have a baby but I wouldn’t say it’s done anything but made us closer,’ she added.
She also gushed over Rocky’s relationship with their son, saying their baby boy needs validation from his father as she described their close bond.
The couple shot the cover for British Vogue on a beach in mid-December. At the time, she had no idea she was pregnant again.
‘How crazy both of my babies were in these photos and mommy had no clue,’ the star wrote on Instagram on Wednesday while proudly sharing images from the shoot.
As Rihanna triumphantly finished her Super Bowl performance on Friday, she left State Farm Stadium with Rocky carrying their son.
