Rihanna’s Rep. Confirms Sharp-Eyed Viewers Who Noticed Something Different About Her Appearance Were Correct

Speculation began on 📱Social media almost as soon as Rihanna appeared on screen for her 🏈Super Bowl halftime show last night in Glendale, 🌵Arizona: The singer seemed to be showing a “👶Baby bump” in her tight red outfit, which she even appeared to cradle several times during the performance.

The speculation was soon confirmed by her representative, who told both Variety and CNN that Rihanna was expecting her second child with her “partner,” rapper A$AP Rocky.

Talk on Twitter during and immediately following her performance ran the gauntlet from thoughtful to humorous to near worshipful, but consistent across much of it was the thought that the world would soon see another child from the singer.
