Global superstars Rihanna and A$AP Rocky made a stylish and united appearance on the streets of New York City this week, stepping out hand-in-hand from their hotel on Tuesday. The power couple, known for their trend-setting ensembles, turned heads with their coordinated yet individualistic outfits as they headed towards the airport, radiating their signature cool confidence.
A Fashionable Departure
The 37-year-old singer and fashion mogul, Rihanna, demonstrated her sartorial prowess in a chic knitted bomber jacket, layered artfully over a vibrant orange jumper. She paired this with form-fitting trousers, elevated by striking snake-print heels, and finished the look with a luxurious fur scarf that added a touch of opulence. Her partner, the rapper and style icon A$AP Rocky, opted for a bold statement piece of his own: a neon green padded coat. He complemented this with practical cargo trousers and sleek black trainers, creating a look that was both eye-catching and effortlessly modern.
Recalling an Awkward First Impression
This public outing followed A$AP Rocky's appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Monday, where he promoted his latest album, Don't Be Dumb. During the interview, he took a humorous trip down memory lane, revealing the surprisingly 'embarrassing' circumstances of his first meeting with the Rude Boy hitmaker.
"It was crazy. We met outside of a nightclub, ironically, here in New York," Rocky recounted. "I wasn't famous at the time. She was obviously Rihanna." He explained that he, along with his friends the late Virgil Abloh and Matthew Williams, was being denied entry by bouncers. "We kind of was getting into it with the bouncers and she, kind of, came out and we locked eyes right away," he reminisced, admitting he felt "a little embarrassed" that she witnessed the altercation.
When host Jimmy Fallon asked if Rihanna helped him gain entry, to the audience's amusement, Rocky simply replied, "No." This candid anecdote highlights the humble and humorous beginnings of a relationship that has since blossomed into a family unit.
From Awkward Encounter to Growing Family
The couple, who have been dating since 2020, are now proud parents to three children. They share sons RZA, aged three, and Riot, two. In late 2025, they welcomed their third child, a daughter named Rocki Irish Mayers, whose birth Rihanna announced via an Instagram post on September 24. The post featured a serene photo of the newborn in pink attire, accompanied by a caption and a pink bow emoji.
Rihanna had first revealed her third pregnancy at the high-profile 2025 Met Gala. Following Rocky's television appearance, the pair were pictured enjoying a movie together, with Rihanna stunning in an animal-print fur coat and matching accessories. Their journey from that awkward nightclub introduction to a stylish, jet-setting family continues to captivate fans worldwide, blending personal charm with undeniable star power.
