Rihanna reveals she's pregnant with 3rd child as she debuts baby bump ahead of Met Gala
Rihanna looked fierce in gray ahead of the Met Gala on Monday — and announced her third pregnancy in the process.
The Fenty founder — a longtime Met Gala staple whose partner A$AP Rocky is cochairing the event this year — was spotted before arriving at Monday's star-studded event. While the music icon sported a gray hat and two-piece set with gray socks and darker gray pointy heels, all eyes were on something else: the star's pregnant stomach.
Yes, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky's third child together. The two are already parents to RZA Athelston Mayers, born on May 13, 2022, and Riot Rose Mayers, born on August 3, 2023.
Rocky told reporters who congratulated him on the pregnancy news: "It feels amazing."
"It's time that we show the people what we was cooking up. And I'm glad everybody's happy for us 'cause we definitely happy, you know," he said.
Rocky added that the reception is a "blessing."
'Because you know how like some people in other situations at times can be envious of other people. But we've been seeing love for the most part," he said. "And we real receptive to that and appreciate that, you know what I mean? That's love. Love is love.'
This is not the first time Rihanna announced a pregnancy at a major cultural event. At the Super Bowl halftime show in February 2023, fans were surprised to see that the 'What's My Name?' singer was expecting her second child when her outfit showed off her pregnant stomach.
However, Rihanna later shared that she hadn't intended to announce her pregnancy to the world — and that it was a backstage snafu that forced the situation.
'My jumper couldn't zip up,' she told Access Hollywood in December 2023. 'No one knew I was pregnant — I just told my stylist, 'Make sure it's stretchy.''
Rihanna announced her first pregnancy in January 2022, after photographers noticed her baby bump in New York City.
The nine-time Grammy winner previously spoke to British Vogue about becoming a mom, telling the magazine in 2023: 'Oh, my God, it's legendary. It's everything. You really don't remember life before, that's the craziest thing ever. You literally try to remember it — and there are photos of my life before — but the feeling, the desires, the things that you enjoy, everything, you just don't identify with it because you don't even allow yourself mentally to get that far, because … it doesn't matter.'

Australia's Public Broadcaster Axes ‘Q+A' Show After 18 Years on Air
The ABC has confirmed it will not bring back its flagship panel program Q+ A, ending an 18-year run. The weekly show, which went on break last month, will not return to air, the national broadcaster announced on June 11. Hosted by Patricia Karvelas since 2023, Q+A earned a reputation as a high-profile forum for political and public debate. ABC News Director Justin Stevens acknowledged the program's legacy in shaping national dialogue. 'Discontinuing the program at this point is no reflection on anyone on the show. We always need to keep innovating and renewing, and in the two decades since Q+A began, the world has changed,' Stevens said. Stevens said the ABC would now focus on finding new ways to engage the public in political and national discussions. 'It's time to rethink how audiences want to interact and to evolve how we can engage with the public to include as many Australians as possible in national conversations,' he said. The announcement follows Network 10's decision to axe The Project after 16 years, with the final episode set to air on June 27. Karvelas to Expand ABC Reporting Role While Q+A ends, Karvelas will continue in her other ABC roles, including Afternoon Briefing, the Politics Now podcast, and her regular column on the ABC News site. 'Patricia (Karvelas) also recently reported for Four Corners, and we've now asked her to do more for Four Corners as time permits,' Stevens said. ABC staff were informed that the show's cancellation would involve some job losses. In place of Q+A, the ABC will expand its long-form current affairs content, including the creation of a new executive producer role for documentaries and specials. The public broadcaster will also permanently roll out Your Say, a public engagement initiative first launched during the last federal election. The project is aimed at including more community voices in ABC reporting. 'Your Say ensures we have a strong framework for putting the public's views, concerns, and questions at the heart of our journalism, complementing our daily commissioning and reporting,' Stevens said.

Cristiano Ronaldo's Girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez Turns Heads in Bold Black Outfit on Tuesday
Cristiano Ronaldo's Girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez Turns Heads in Bold Black Outfit on Tuesday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. All eyes were on Georgina Rodriguez Tuesday night as she arrived at Netflix Spain's 10th anniversary celebration in a bold, all-black outfit that had fans and fashion watchers buzzing. Rodriguez, the longtime girlfriend of soccer legend Cristiano Ronaldo, stepped out at the Palacio de Cristal in Madrid wearing a striking black midi dress with corset-style lace-up details on the front and sides. The dress, a vintage Dolce & Gabbana piece from 2019, hugged her figure perfectly and featured thin straps and a small slit near the hem that added just the right amount of elegance. She paired the look with glossy black stilettos, which added a sharp, polished touch. To complete her look, Rodriguez chose minimal jewelry; a silver bracelet, rings and hoop earrings and styled her long, wavy hair to fall softly over her shoulders. Her makeup was subtle but romantic, with rose-toned lips and blush that brought out the full effect of the black-on-black ensemble. Netflix Spain shared a photo of Rodriguez on Instagram shortly after the event and fans wasted no time flooding the comments section with admiration. 'Queen Georgina,' one person wrote. Another called her 'a wonderful diva.' 'Georgina the biggest one we have!!' a fan boldly declared. Others joined in, with messages like 'Georgina, the mother of all' and 'I love you Georgina, you are beautiful.' 'Georgina is the most beautiful woman,' a user summed it up simply. Rodriguez's presence at the celebration proved once again why she remains one of the most talked-about figures in fashion and lifestyle. Her choice of outfit echoed the same high-glamour style fans have come to expect from her, from the lace-trimmed slipdress at the 2025 Met Gala to the sharp white platforms she wore to Paris Fashion Week earlier this year. Though known globally as Ronaldo's partner since 2016, Rodriguez has made a name for herself far beyond the football spotlight. She's a mother of six, a fashion influencer and a regular at major events. Still, she often keeps her focus on family, recently telling Vogue, 'If I tell you the truth, I no longer remember clearly what day-to-day life was like without being famous.' On Tuesday night, though, Georgina Rodriguez reminded everyone just how effortlessly she blends glamour with confidence. She didn't just attend Netflix Spain's milestone event, she stole the story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 11, 2025, where it first appeared.

Korn's Jonathan Davis Unleashes New Pet Line with Superstar L.A. Designer Ashton Micheal
Korn's Jonathan Davis Unleashes New Pet Line with Superstar L.A. Designer Ashton Micheal originally appeared on L.A. Mag. Grammy award-winning, multi-platinum-selling metalers Korn continue to tour and make new music, but the Bakersfield band's lead singer Jonathan Davis enjoys other creative pursuits, too. Three years ago, he merged his love for animals and fashion into a pet brand named after his biggest hit, 'Freak on a Leash.' Last month, he took things up a notch, joining forces with local designer Ashton Michael —known for making stagewear for everyone from Avril Lavigne and Gwen Stefani to Jelly Roll and Teddy Swims— to offer rock ' roll looks for pets. Here, Davis discusses his dog-driven new project and what's started this pet fashion line in 2022. What gave you the idea and what inspired the styling?I had just got my dog Dante… I had other dogs previously that I'd just lost that year. It was horrible. I always say that God's worst joke is to give us the most beautiful, amazing pets and take them away from us in 10 years. But I was just sitting around talking with my girl,, and thought, 'how cool would it be if we made clothes for pets? For Dante, we wanted clothes, leashes and harnesses that represented the kind of stuff we would like to wear. You know, when you go to Petco or any of these other places, it's all pretty generic. I'm not saying it sucks but… it's just not my style. Agree. Pet accessories and clothes are usually cheaply made and have no personality. Have you always been a big animal lover? I love them so much because I couldn't have them growing up… the kicker is I'm deathly allergic to dogs. I was around them all the time because my grandparents had them and everything, but I could only go over there for an hour or two, because after that much time, I'd get really sick. I had asthma really bad. Me too! I just recently got a maltipoo/doodle and I'm doing pretty good with him. Slightly allergic but it's manageable. I didn't get a doodle. I got a purebred Moyen poodle. I had a boxer lab and I was deathly allergic to him. Then I had a poodle, Beast, from the rescue and I was allergic to him too. Sometimes they're hypo-allergenic and sometimes they are not. With Dante, I'm fine. He sleeps with me and gets in my face. So in terms of style inspiration for Freak on a Leash, what were you thinking? Well first we did collars in fluorescent, really loud colors. And now, this latest collection we got Ashton Michael, who dresses me, and we did a collaboration together. This is my favorite one because there's so much cool stuff— jackets and bandanas. And I love the toys, the first collection of toys had an eyeball and zombie hand. Now we got a paddle with devil horns and a ouija board. So you obviously have rock fans in mind for this pet line. Yes and a lot of people are loving it. What was Ashton's input? He does all this really cool leather work. That's his thing. It's like harnesses in black leather with gold hardware…I thought that would look really cool on a dog or a cat. So I thought let's see if we can get together and do something. He's used to dressing music artists so we took inspiration from that and from me. Like my three piercings over my eye that I've had since '92, he put references to those on the leashes and on the collars. You'll see the three little D rings in there. So he's representing me and the band.. I really love what he came up with and he's just really talented. Some pets don't like to wear clothes though. If they don't like them, then don't put them in clothes. Some do like them, though. There's all kinds of dogs and some like sweaters and stuff like that. I used to have a Chinese Crested. They love a sweater because they don't have any hair so it keeps them warm. I put clothes on Dante, and he likes it sometimes, and then he wants it off. So I take it off. If they are rolling on the ground trying to take it off, take it off and try later. Does some of the studded stuff require caution? We try to make them not too incredibly sharp. Sometimes it sucks if you're grabbing your dog and those spikes hit you. Dante wears the spiked ones and it's totally fine. Dante sounds like your test model. He's my baby. He goes everywhere with me, and I love him to death. What materials are you using in this collection? Leather mostly. There's some nylon leashes too. I'm trying to get some vegan leather stuff in, but that's further down. I'm just a small little company and it's hard to source sometimes. What's the process like for Freak on a Leash conceptualizing pieces? I'll come up with some ideas, we'll talk about it, and then we get drawings from our partners at Killer Merch. We'll just have a meeting, and we'll start looking at everything. It starts as an idea and then we get the drawings, and then we get samples made and I bring them home and put them on Dante. We try them out. We didn't like the buckles because they were hard on the neck. Once we get the product that we like, we just send them out to be made. And that's when we start doing our drops. What are some things you'd like to make in the future? I just plan to keep having fun playing dress up with dogs. But I'm definitely going to do a cat line soon too. Are you allergic to cats also? Yes. But we know there's cat people and dog people. So I want to represent both. We did the green, the neon collar last time with the little teeny rhinestones. That was for a cat or small dog. But I want to do one that's just dedicated to our feline friends… the little shits. Shifting gears to your music… the hit song that inspired the pet business' name, 'Freak on a Leash' seems to be enjoying a resurgence. In fact, your music in general seems to be getting appreciated again. Why do you think that is? Last year was 30 years since the first album. And yeah, I think when we came up it was one of the last big times in music, not just for metal, but rock. Now I think music in general, there's too much. There's too many options and you can get lost. I'm not mad at it–anyone can make a song and put it out there. But in our time, there was MTV. It was different. I think people are missing the way it was, and they're latching on, remembering and reliving that time. The older people and now younger ones too. Like at our shows, we're doing stadiums and there's young kids with their parents…somehow it just all comes back together. And I love it. This story was originally reported by L.A.
