Leave it to Rihanna to pull a fast one on us, and love every minute of it! The pop icon, beauty mogul, and soon-to-be mother of three sent fans into a high frenzy after revealing a hidden surprise behind her latest Savage X Fenty lingerie shoot.
The singer posted a series of photos on Instagram, striking confident poses in her signature lingerie line. But what was the twist? She was actually pregnant during the shoot! Yes, not only that, but she managed to completely hide her growing baby bump thanks to her clever thinking.
“It’s me playing ‘hide the baby bump’ the whole shoot!” she cheekily captioned the post. It was accompanied by a carousel of photos of herself that expertly concealed her growing belly. She followed it up with, “Boutta be a cheeky summer,” adding a sun and peach emoji for good measure.
Rihanna’s Clever Camouflage Has Everyone Talking
We have to give it to Rihanna, that’s for sure. Her poses were nothing short of genius. In one image, she stands sideways against a tiled wall, subtly pressing her stomach to the cool blue surface. In another, she has her back to the camera, completely avoiding a frontal shot that could have given it away. But, honestly, you’d never guess she was expecting just by looking at the photos themselves. So, guess it’s a win-win for Rihanna.
But, as expected, the internet exploded with reactions left to right. Fans were shocked and delighted at the surprise revelation, praising her for pulling off such a sneaky scheme with style and humor. “And the body stays in shape, even if it’s growing another body,” one fan commented, marveling at her figure. Another joked, “R9 is winning the hide-and-seek though,” referencing the long wait for her next album.
Third Baby on the Way
The stunning images come shortly after Rihanna confirmed she is expecting her third child with longtime partner A$AP Rocky. The couple already shares two sons, 3-year-old RZA and 21-month-old Riot. The big reveal happened at this year’s Met Gala, where Rihanna proudly debuted her baby bump in a stunning designer gown. This is the second time she has revealed a pregnancy in a very public way, the first being at the Super Bowl in 2023.
In a recent interview with Access Hollywood, Rihanna opened up about her pregnancy, expressing relief at no longer needing to keep it a secret from her fans. “I feel a lot better that I don’t have to suck my stomach in anymore,” she laughed. She’s clearly enjoying this new chapter in her life.
Despite fans’ ongoing pleas for new music, especially the so-called R9 album, Rihanna recently dropped a single titled “Friend of Mine.” The track was for the Smurfs movie soundtrack, which marked her first musical release in three years.
With another baby on the way, her beauty empire thriving every day, and fans hanging on her every post, Rihanna continues to prove she’s the queen of keeping us guessing and entertained.
