Rocky, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, and Rihanna have welcomed great news over the past couple of months. In February, Rocky was acquitted in his felony assault trial after he was accused of firing a semi-automatic handgun at A$AP Mob member A$AP Relli during an altercation that happened in November 2021.
With the news of the new addition, Rocky’s lawyer Joe Tacopina exclusively tells PEOPLE that the soon-to-be family of five has had a “great couple of months.”
“Needless to say it has been a GREAT couple of months for the family!” Tacopina says. “God is smiling on them!”
Now that the trial is over and the pregnancy has been revealed, an exclusive source told PEOPLE that the couple is now “focused on family time.”
The two “had some time to decompress and just focus on family time,” the insider told PEOPLE. “Rihanna’s a great mom. She loves playing with the kids.”

The source continued, saying Rocky’s “such a playful dad too. They were hoping for another baby.”
As for how Rihanna’s settling into her pregnancy, the source told PEOPLE she’s been opting for baggier clothes this time around.
“Rihanna’s always gone with the flow, but this time around, she joked early on that it would be hard to hide the baby bump. She’s been in baggy clothes for months,” they shared.
As she walked the blue carpet outside the gala later that night, Rihanna gave an update on how her third pregnancy is going.
“I’m good. I’m shockingly feeling okay and not too overwhelmed at the moment,” the pregnant mom of two told Entertainment Tonight. “I mean, at first, it was kinda like, ‘Ah!’ And I’m tired, but then I’m excited.”
The musician was then asked if this pregnancy would delay her forthcoming ninth album, to which Rihanna pushed back and said, “No. Maybe a couple videos, but I can sing!”
