Rihanna has diverted attention from her growing bump in a sizzling lingerie shoot for Savage X Fenty, joking she was playing 'hide the baby bump' during the campaign. The music superstar, who is expecting her third child with partner A$AP Rocky, posed strategically covering her stomach while showcasing eye-catching floral lace pieces.
In an Instagram post, the 36-year-old wrote: 'It's me playing "hide the baby bump" whole shoot! boutta be a cheeky summer ☀️🍑 new mosaic floral lace @savagexfenty just dropped!' Fans lauded the pictures as 'incredible', praising the expectant mother for showing off her body while pregnant.
The shoot comes shortly after the death of Rihanna's father, Ronald Fenty, aged 70, who died early Saturday morning in Los Angeles. While the official cause of death has not been publicly disclosed, sources close to the family indicated he died after a brief illness.
Rihanna had a turbulent relationship with her father, who faced past struggles with alcohol and drug addiction. In a 2011 interview with Vogue, she described their dynamic as 'really strange', adding: 'You grow up with your father, you know him, you are a part of him, for goodness' sakes! And then he does something so bizarre that I can't begin to wrap my mind around it.'
The singer, who shares sons Rza, three, and Riot, one, with A$AP Rocky, announced her third pregnancy earlier this year by proudly flaunting her bump at the Met Gala.
