đź‘‘ Rihanna in 2025: A New Daughter and Business Challenges

The past few months have been a whirlwind for Rihanna, marked by a major personal milestone and significant business developments. The superstar continues to masterfully balance her life as a mother, style icon, and business mogul, all while navigating the natural ebbs and flows of her entrepreneurial empire.

🍼 Motherhood and First Public Appearance

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have welcomed their newest family member, a daughter named Rocki Irish Mayers, who was born on September 13, 2025 . The “Diamonds” singer announced the joyful news on September 24 with a heartfelt Instagram post, sharing a photo of herself holding the newborn, who was dressed in a pink outfit with matching socks and a bow . The announcement also included a sweet snapshot of tiny pink boxing gloves adorned with ribbons .

Baby Rocki joins her two older brothers, RZA Athelston, born in May 2022, and Riot Rose, born in August 2023, making the couple a family of five . A source close to the singer revealed that “Rihanna has always wanted a big family, so she couldn’t be more excited” .

Rihanna made her first public outing since giving birth on October 4, 2025, to celebrate A$AP Rocky’s 37th birthday in West Hollywood . True to her status as a fashion icon, she made a style statement in a black leather bomber jacket, black pants with feathered hems, and matching heels and sunglasses . The couple was photographed chatting outside the venue and happily waving at photographers from their convertible Rolls-Royce, radiating joy .

đź’° Business Headwinds and Financial Shifts

While her personal life is flourishing, Rihanna’s business empire, which propelled her to billionaire status, has faced some headwinds in 2025. According to Forbes, her net worth has seen a notable decrease.

The table below summarizes the key financial changes and their causes:

Aspect Details
Net Worth Change Decreased by $400 million (approx. 29%) from $1.4 billion in 2024 .
Primary Causes • Savage X Fenty: Leadership transition after CEO’s departure .
• Fenty Beauty: Flat sales performance, particularly in the challenging Chinese market .
Ongoing Business Activity New Savage X Fenty Bridal Collection (April 2025), Fenty Beauty mascara launch, and “Fenty Beauty Experience” in Roblox .

 

Despite this shift, Rihanna remains actively involved in her ventures. Savage X Fenty launched a new Bridal Collection in April and continues to release new pieces . Similarly, Fenty Beauty has brought back its popular Body Lava luminizers and debuted a new line of mascaras . This demonstrates that even with financial fluctuations, her entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to her brands remain as strong as ever.

🎶 A Lasting Cultural Impact

Even without a new album in recent years, Rihanna’s musical influence continues to resonate. In 2025, her 2007 deep-cut track “Breakin’ Dishes” experienced a surprise resurgence, going viral and debuting on the UK’s Official Singles Chart at No. 40 . This chart entry, nearly two decades after the song’s original release, marks her second new hit on the chart in 2025, following “Friend of Mine” from the Smurfs movie, and is a powerful testament to the enduring appeal of her music catalog .
