In an interview with ExtraTV in November, last year during the release of her 'Savage X Fenty Show' Vol 4 albums, the performer shared her firsthand parenting experience. She said, "It is crazy. It is amazing. It is wild. It is weird. It is all of those things all at once. The best feeling. The most love I've ever known. I can't describe it. It's new. It's fascinating." She also joked that having a child may have influenced her decision to participate in the Super Bowl LVII halftime performance, which will take place on February 12 of next year. "You unleash or unlock other parts of your superpowers [when you become a parent]. You feel like you can take on the world. You can do anything," she told Terri Seymour.

The Grammy-winner first announced her pregnancy with Rocky in January of last year. A source told People that Rihanna was "excited to be a mom" and "couldn't be happier" after she was seen in New York City flaunting her baby bump. "Everything Rihanna does, she does it her own way on her own timetable, and having a baby is no different," the source said, adding that Rihanna and her rapper beau were over the moon about their baby on the way. "They're just like any other pair of parents-to-be. Yes, they happen to be famous, but they're just the cutest, giddiest young couple that's expecting kids."
