Sophia Michaels
has given birth to her and the rapper’s second baby, a baby boy, TMZ reports.
According to the outlet, the duo secretly welcomed the little one on Aug. 3 in Los Angeles.
The newborn’s name has yet to be revealed – but reportedly starts with “R” just like his big brother, RZA.
Rihanna, 35, kept her pregnancy under wraps until her Super Bowl 2023 halftime show in February.
The “Love on the Brain” singer kicked off the performance by cradling her budding belly in a red outfit, later confirming that she was expecting baby No. 2.
“What the heck [was] I thinking?” Rihanna joked to British Vogue the following month of the decision to perform while pregnant.
The Fenty Beauty creator explained that she agreed to do the show shortly after giving birth to her first child, son RZA, in May 2022, recalling being “geeked out” by the “challenge.”
She noted, “You know what your body just did. You feel this sense of, ‘Nothing is impossible.’”

Rihanna went on to say that the “headf–k” of being solely of “service” to her son has given her a “different respect” for other working parents.
She called motherhood a “legendary” role, gushing, “You really don’t remember life before, that’s the craziest thing ever. It doesn’t matter.”
Rihanna and her boyfriend have shown their baby boy’s face on social media — and in an adorable Vogue spread — but his name remained a secret until May.
Although Rihanna explained to the Washington Post in November 2022 that she simply never “got around to” divulging those details, she did hint at the moniker for months by wearing clothes honoring producer and rapper RZA, the leader of the Wu-Tang Clan.
In February, the songwriter’s dad, Ronald Fenty, revealed to Page Six that the new parents have gone through “a few names” for their child.
However, he refused to share the monikers in the February interview, joking, “She’ll have my head if I tell you!”
Before Rihanna and her partner became parents, they were longtime friends whose relationship took a romantic turn in 2020.
