Rihanna and A$AP Rocky are sharing their newborn baby with the world.
The family of four shared new photos of the power couple with their two sons, new addition to the family Riot Rose Mayers and 16-month-old RZA Athelston Mayers, on Tuesday. Riot Rose, who was born on Aug. 1, wears a soft pink ensemble befitting of his middle nam,e while his older brother looks fashionable in a henley, jeans and leather jacket.
Meanwhile, their parents match the denim theme, as Rihanna rocks a jean jacket and Rocky dons straight-leg jeans paired with a white tank top and flannel jacket.
The outfits in these photos aren't the only theme in the family: They also match with four names that start with R — Riot, RZA, Robyn Rihanna Fenty, 35, and Rakim Athelaston Mayers, 34, Rocky's birth name.
RZA was named after the Wu-Tang Clan member, and while the couple has not publicly discussed Riot's name, Rocky released a single titled "Riot (Rowdy Pipe'n)" earlier this summer.
Rihanna made the shocking reveal that she was pregnant with the couple's second child during her Super Bowl halftime performance in February. Six months later, they quietly welcomed Riot into the world.
Rihanna describes motherhood as 'legendary'
Earlier this year — before Rihanna's bump started showing — the couple debuted RZA and made headlines with their family photoshoot for the cover of British Vogue. In the photo, Rocky and Rihanna walked hand-in-hand on a beach while dad held a smiling RZA with his other hand and was kissing his forehead.
In an interview with the magazine, Rihanna summed up motherhood in one word: "Legendary."
"You really don't remember life before; that's the craziest thing ever," Rihanna said. "There are photos of my life before — but the feeling, the desires, the things that you enjoy, everything, you just don’t identify with it because you don’t even allow yourself mentally to get that far … Because it doesn’t matter.”
“It was beautiful,” she recalled of giving birth to RZA, adding that she felt "blessed" for this. The singer says she and Rocky brought home their son "cold turkey" after he was born, leaving it to just the two of them to figure out the early days of parenthood.
“Essentially, from one person I became two. You walk into the hospital as a couple and leave as a family of three. It’s nuts. And oh, my gosh, those first days are insane. You don’t sleep. At all. Not even if you wanted to," she said. "Man, you’re a zombie for the most part.”
Bringing home their firstborn child was an adjustment for the couple.
“I remember in the beginning I used to roll his bassinet into the bathroom and be showering and like wiping the fog off just to peep at him," Rihanna admitted. “(Mornings) were always my favorite, his little wake-up face, seeing his face change, seeing his color come in, just all of these changes.”
