Is Rihanna Pregnant With Her First Child?
Fans are fully convinced Rihanna is pregnant with her first child following her recent baby comments.
Ahead of her star-studded 5th annual Diamond Ball on Thursday night (September 12), the "Work" singer chatted with Essense magazine about how proud she is to be a black woman and "give birth" to a black woman in the future. As expected, fans ran with this quote and came up some wild conclusions...
"I'm a black woman. I come from a black woman who came from a black woman who came from a black woman and I'm going to give birth to a black woman," she told the outlet. "That's who I am. It's the core of who I am in spirit and in DNA. And I always stand up for what I believe in and who I love and who I know, who I respect."
Check out Rihanna's interview in the Instagram post, below:
The tiny mention of giving birth was enough to send the internet into a downward spiral because fans truly believed she was expecting a baby with longtime boyfriend Hassan Jameel.
Before we get too excited, sources with "direct knowledge" told TMZ that Bad Gal Riri is not pregnant despite all these fan theories. However, that doesn't mean it won't happen soon since she recently told her Ocean's 8 co-star, Sarah Paulson, she wants to be a mother "more than anything" in her life during their chat in Interview Magazine.
