From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it’s investigating the financials of Elon Musk’s pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, ‘The A Word’, which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.<\/p>\n
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.<\/p>\n
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls.

The 36-year-old rapper, who already shares two kids \u2014 RZA, three, and Riot, one \u2014 with the \u201cDiamonds\u201d singer, was asked about the moniker by Seth Meyers during a recent appearance on his eponymous talk show. <\/p>\n
\u201cYour first two kids have \u2018R\u2019 names, obviously you and Rihanna have \u2018R\u2019 names,\u201d Meyers pointed out, nodding to Rocky\u2019s real name, Rakim Mayers. \u201cIs this a lock that the third will have an \u2018R\u2019 name, do you think?\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cFor sure,\u201d Rocky said. <\/p>\n
Earlier this week, Rihanna not-so-subtly revealed her baby bump hours before the 2025 Met Gala. She was seen walking into The Carlyle Hotel in New York City in a two-piece bodycon blue set, a fur shawl, and a black bucket hat. <\/p>\n
This was the first time she\u2019d intentionally shown off her pregnancy after weeks of trying to cover the bump with big T-shirts and slouchy crossbody bags. <\/p>\n

At 10 p.m., long after Rocky and the rest of the attendees had arrived, Rihanna stepped out on the navy blue carpet in a custom Marc Jacobs ensemble, highlighting her bump. <\/p>\n
When asked by a reporter if she brought an umbrella for the rainy night, Rihanna cheekily responded: \u201cRocky brought the umbrella. I brought the kid.\u201d <\/p>\n
Rocky, however, had already made his own red carpet moment in a full look designed by his creative agency, AWGE, which also paid homage to his home in Harlem.<\/p>\n

And I\u2019m glad everybody\u2019s happy for us \u2019cause we definitely happy, you know.\u201d<\/p>\n
The couple\u2019s unexpected announcement at the Met Gala comes just over a month after Rihanna delivered a two-word rebuke to a fan who said they hated the children\u2019s names.<\/p>\n
After the Fenty Beauty founder posted photos on Instagram of her sons to underscore the power women have for International Women\u2019s Day, a fan took the opportunity to criticize the children\u2019s names.<\/p>\n
\u201cI hate their names so bad,\u201d the critic wrote in a since-deleted comment.<\/p>\n
\u201cOk tatiana,\u201d Rhianna responded. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
