Rihanna has given birth to her second child

Rihanna A$AP Rocky child born

It is time for beschuit met muisjes again in the house of Rihanna and A$AP Rocky, as the two have become parents for the second time. They did it in secret: according to TMZ, Rihanna gave birth to her second child, a perfectly healthy boy, earlier this month. To be precise, it would have been on August 3, insiders tell the website. So that has remained under the radar for almost three weeks; I think it's quite impressive (and especially very nice for the two parents) that they could keep this secret.

Rihanna hasn't been spotted in public that often either: the last sightings date back to June, when she had quite a belly. So we already knew she was fairly far along in her pregnancy. The singer has never said when she was due (understandably), and after announcing her pregnancy during her Super Bowl performance, she hasn't mentioned her second child at all. It's quite refreshing, a couple that doesn't want to be in the spotlight all the time.

Their first son was born last year on May 13 and has been named RZA Athelston Mayers. What their second son is called remains a surprise for now, but according to insiders, the name starts with an ‘r’ again. Guessing doesn't make sense to me anyway, because I would have never come up with that first name... So I consider it unlikely that they will go for a relatively simple ‘Robert’ now.
