This Study Predicts Rihanna & A$AP Rocky's Third Baby Name
Source: Sylvain Lefevre / Getty If this new study from VegasInsider is any indication, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky might have another bold baby name on the way. The name 'Rebel' is leading the pack. Read more about the study inside. The entertainment odds site analyzed thousands of song lyrics by the superstar couple to predict what name they might choose for their third child. Using a predictive algorithm and scraping Genius for lyrics, the study assigned betting odds and probabilities to potential baby names that fit the couple's pattern of unique, culturally rich choices. At the top of the list? Rebel — with -120 odds and a 54.5 percent implied probability of being the next addition to the 'R' name legacy. It follows the naming style of the couple's first two sons, RZA (a nod to the Wu-Tang Clan legend) and Riot, another name steeped in musical rebellion and hip-hop culture. 'Rebel' doesn't just carry an edge but it also frequently appears in both Rihanna's and Rocky's lyrics, suggesting a natural synergy between their music and the message they want their family names to represent. According to VegasInsider , the name has the perfect mix of punchiness and cultural significance that the couple has leaned into with their children. Other name contenders include Rogue (+105 odds, 48.8% percent probability), Royal (+220), Rayne (+600), and Ryder (+800), but none seem to hit all the right notes quite like 'Rebel.' A VegasInsider spokesperson explained, 'Rihanna and A$AP Rocky didn't go subtle with their first two baby names. It's clear they favor names that are short, bold, and packed with meaning. 'Rebel' fits the mold — it starts with R, has musical weight, and embraces the same fearless energy we've come to expect from them.' While the couple has yet to confirm a third child or any names, fans and oddsmakers alike are already buzzing about what's next. With 'Rebel' currently leading the odds, it might just be the next iconic addition to the Fenty-Mayers family. Potential Name American Odds Fractional Odds Implied Probability Rebel -120 5/6 54.50% Rogue +105 21/20 48.80% Royal +220 11/5 31.20% Rayne +600 6/1 14.30% Ryder +800 8/1 11.10% Check out the full dataset here.

Rihanna thrilled to see Smurfs movie being 'birthed'
Rihanna is thrilled that Smurfs is "finally being birthed". The 37-year-old star voices the part of Smurfette in the new animated movie, and Rihanna is delighted that her kids can now finally enjoy the movie. The chart-topping singer - who has RZA, three, and Riot, 23 months, with A$AP Rocky - told Extra: "We get to watch the movie together for the first time. I get to watch it in its full completion. So, that should be interesting. "Everybody gets to watch it on the 18th. So, we're really going for it now. It's finally being birthed." Rihanna - who stars in the new movie alongside the likes of James Corden, Sandra Oh, Jimmy Kimmel, Octavia Spencer, Alex Winter, and Hannah Waddingham - admitted that the film's premiere felt "so far away" when the project began. She said: "We've been working on it for so long. So, like, a few years now, actually. And it's happening … You know, you start working on something and 2025 feels so far away and then we're here." Despite this, Rihanna's sons weren't aware of her involvement with the movie. However, the singer - who has largely put her music career on hold in recent years, in order to focus on other ventures - was looking forward to seeing the reaction of her boys. Asked if they knew that she was playing Smurfette, Rihanna replied: "The boys know nothing, they're being introduced to Smurf Village right now, the blue carpet, and next is going to be me watching their reaction when they realise my voice is coming out of the screen. I can't wait for that one." Rihanna was a Smurfs fan during her younger years, and Ramsey Naito, the president of Paramount Animation and Nickelodeon Animation, thinks she's perfectly suited to the role of Smurfette. Ramsey recently told Variety: "When we first met with her, we learned that the Smurfs was her favourite show growing up, and from that moment, everything just clicked. "It felt completely natural to reimagine the Smurfs for today's audience with Rihanna as Smurfette because her genuine love for the franchise made her the perfect fit." Rihanna's "passion" for the Smurfs franchise actually shone through during the production process. The Paramount boss also observed that the film's "secret ingredient is love". Ramsey said: "I think when you're refreshing a beloved franchise like The Smurfs, the secret ingredient is love. And that love must come from people who truly care about the characters and their story. "Rihanna brought that passion, and it shines through in every part of the film."

Rihanna's toddlers rock custom Dior at 'Smurfs' premiere
They can beat her, but they can't beat her (sons') outfits. Pop star, fashion founder and first lady of the "Smurfs" franchise Rihanna walked the blue carpet this weekend alongside sons RZA, 3, and Riot, 1, in custom couture. Rihanna, who is pregnant with her third child, wore a structured black Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello dress while her sons, whom she shares with rapper A$AP Rocky, donned custom children's versions of Jonathan Anderson's first Dior menswear collection, which debuted its looks in June. The dapper trio were met by life-size Smurf dolls as they walked the carpet, no doubt a treat for the toddlers who fall firmly in the age demographic to which the film caters. Rihanna shares delivery room pics: 'Yes I gave birth in pearls and sunglasses' Offering a small win to an ever-clamoring fan base, Rihanna treated loyal listeners to "Friend of Mine," a new single specifically for the "Smurfs" movie. Rihanna, who has not released a full album since 2016's "Anti," voices Smurfette in the film. This is the second such soundtrack she has contributed to for an animated movie, recording several anthems for "Home," a 2015 film she starred in alongside the "Big Bang Theory" star Jim Parsons. She also contributed the song "Lift Me Up" to the "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" soundtrack in 2022, performing the ballad at the 2023 Oscars. Rihanna and A$AP Rocky share emotional hug after acquittal: Their relationship timeline That her two sons are as stylish as she is no surprise. The singer and mogul has been spotted around the streets of Paris in recent weeks with her two young ones in tow, posing for paparazzi shots. Since turning away from full-time recording, Rihanna has established herself as a force in the fashion world, co-chairing the Met Gala alongside Anna Wintour and hosting runway shows for her lingerie company Savage X Fenty. Her maternity fashion – when she was pregnant with both sons and now – has changed conversations about what style for expectant mothers can be, trading typical maternity looks for high-fashion garb. A$AP Rocky also lends his fashion-forward genes, having co-chaired the Met Gala as well and notching several high-profile collaborations in recent years. Getting the boys in their looks was no small feat, though. "It was getting them dressed and undressed, dressed and then undressed again 'cause they wanted to eat, lay down, tumble, and the last thing I did was get them dressed and then jump into my gown. It was like that," she joked to Elle at the premiere.
