The birthday came after elaborate celebrations for Rocki’s older brothers: Riot had a Spider-Man-themed third birthday party in August, while RZA’s fourth birthday in May was held at New York’s Sloomoo Institute. A$AP Rocky said, “I’m a present dad. I don’t favoritize any of them,” describing the children as having different personalities.
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky's daughter Rocki Irish Mayers turned one on September 13, 2026, in a pastel-filled celebration featuring carnival rides and a colorful birthday cake. US Magazine captured the rare moment: Rihanna and her youngest child twinned in matching bubblegum pink Dior outfits at the family gathering, with photos shared by Rihanna's childhood best friend Melissa Forde on Instagram.
Rocki is the couple's first daughter and second-youngest child, joining older brothers RZA, 4, and Riot Rose, 3. Born just days after a pregnancy reveal at the 2025 Met Gala, Rocki has already made her modeling debut — appearing on the cover of W Magazine at seven months old, prompting Rihanna to joke that her daughter "outshined" her during the shoot.
A Year of High-Fashion Milestones for Rocki
Rocki's first year packed more magazine covers than most careers. Fashion Times reported she appeared on W Magazine's cover in April at just seven months old, marking her official modeling debut. Rihanna playfully questioned: "Who's the high-fashion baby?" The infant has also worn custom designer pieces throughout her first year, including the pink Dior outfits at her birthday party.
The birthday party itself was a masterclass in kiddie luxury. Yahoo described the carnival-themed celebration complete with pastel balloons, a working carousel, and a colorful tiered cake. Melissa Forde, Rihanna's longtime friend and photographer, posted affectionate photos calling Rocki "Auntie's baby" and celebrating the "Bday twinning" moment between mother and daughter.
Rihanna's Pregnancy Surprise at the Met Gala
Rocki's existence was announced in an unconventional way — through fashion. Rihanna revealed her pregnancy by walking the red carpet at the 2025 Met Gala with a visible baby bump, stunning attendees and paparazzi alike. The surprise pregnancy came after A$AP Rocky had previously told fans they were "praying for a girl." Within two weeks of Rocki's birth on September 13, 2025, the couple announced her arrival publicly.
A$AP Rocky Celebrates All Three Children Equally
Rocki's first birthday bash follows equally elaborate celebrations for her older brothers. The Blast noted that Riot Rose turned three in August with a Spider-Man-themed party, while RZA's fourth birthday in May was held at New York's Sloomoo Institute, an immersive ice cream experience. A$AP Rocky emphasized his hands-on parenting: "I'm a present dad. I don't favoritize any of them," describing each child as having distinct personalities.
