Rihanna is basking in the joy of motherhood in her native Barbados.
The singer and beauty guru shared rare photos of all three of her and A$AP Rocky’s kids on Instagram Tuesday as she took them to her childhood home in Bridgetown. Sons RZA, 4, and Riot, 2, and daughter Rocki Irish, 10 months, were photographed beside their smiling mom, who rocked a one-shouldered black dress and a red lip.
“One minute I feel like that kid from Westbury…the next minute I’m bringing my own kids back to ‘Rihanna Drive,’” she captioned the series of photos. “Trippy how life works! And the Glory STILL and WILL ALWAYS belong to the Almighty Creator!!!”

Previously called Westbury New Road, the “Pon de Replay” singer’s childhood street was renamed Rihanna Drive in 2017 and deemed a “cultural landmark” in her honor.
The Fenty Beauty mogul has been in Barbados this month, enjoying some downtime with her family. On Aug. 4, she was seen in an extravagant fashion-forward look at the Grand Kadooment Day Parade—a celebration that concludes the Caribbean festival Crop Over.
Covered in jewels and wearing feathered wings of sorts, Rihanna danced in the streets to mark the momentous occasion.

“Barbados will always be represented through any art form of mine because I can’t really help it. It’s not even a choice of mine,” she told *Jazzy’s World TV* in 2024. “But as long as I do have the choice, Barbados will always be a part of me.”

She is making sure it’s a part of her children’s lives as well, as they enjoy the summer on her home island. A$AP Rocky, whose real name is Rakim Athelaston Mayers, also has ties to Barbados: His late father was from there, and his middle name represents his Bajan heritage.
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have been together since 2020 after taking their friendship to the next level. Though they tend to keep their relationship private, Rihanna did say her partner is “a great dad,” and opened up about her experience with motherhood thus far in a chat with *Interview* in 2024.

“I’m actually afraid of s---. The well-being of your kids, you worry about that constantly,” she said. “Nobody warns you that having kids means you’re going to worry every second of your life.”
A$AP Rocky told *W* in April of Rihanna’s evolution: “She has changed a lot because she became a mother in that time span, and that certainly changes you. But this woman has always been magic. Philosophically, the way she operates is on another level. She is the most charming and genuine person on Earth. Her energy is unmatched—one of a kind. I just adore her.”
