Prior to Rihanna giving birth to her first child, online speculation grew across the web and claimed that A$AP stepped out on his pregnant partner.

Have Rihanna and A$AP Rocky split?

Many fans speculated that Rihanna decided to finish things with her partner, A$AP Rocky after discovering that he had cheated on her.

Louis Pisano, an influencer with over 19 thousand followers on Twitter posted a tweet claiming the pair have split.

“Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have split. Rihanna broke up with him after she caught him cheating with shoe designer Amina Muaddi,” Pisano wrote.

It was just a matter of minutes before the tweet went viral, and fans flocked to express their concerns.

Neither Rihanna nor A$AP Rocky commented on these rumors to confirm if they are true or not.

On Friday, April 15, 2022, TMZ reported the rumors were not true, based on a source.

The source told TMZ the rumors were “100% false on both counts” and that the couple was “fine.”

Amina took to Instagram to release a statement on the rumors.

“I’ve always believed that an unfounded lie spread on social media doesn’t deserve any response or clarification, especially one that is so vile,” she wrote on her Instagram Stories.

“I initially assumed that this fake gossip – fabricated with such malicious intent – would not be taken seriously.

“However in the last 24h I’ve been reminded that we live in a society that is so quick to speak on topics regardless of factual basis and that nothing is off limits.”

“Not even during what should be one of the most beautiful and celebrated times in one’s life,” she continued.

She closed out by saying she has to “speak up as this is not only directed towards me but it is related to people I have a great amount of respect and affection for.”

She said while Rihanna continues to “live her serene, best dressed pregnancy life and I go back to my business – I wish everyone a beautiful Easter weekend!”

When did Rihanna and A$AP Rocky start dating?

The two first met when A$AP joined Rihanna’s Diamond tour back in 2013.

Rumors of the pair being together first started shortly after Rihanna split from billionaire boyfriend Hassan Jameel in January 2020.

Shortly after their breakup, Rihanna was seen hanging out with A$AP Rocky more often.

In December 2020, a source gave Entertainment Tonight more insight into the pair’s relationship.

“They have always had amazing chemistry, and Rihanna relates to A$AP, and it [their relationship] feels natural, easy and fun,” the source said. “She feels very comfortable around him since they’ve known each other for such a long time and also feels a connection to him because his dad is from Barbados.”

That same month the pair were photographed by paparazzi while kissing on holiday in Barbados.

Then in May 2021, in a GQ interview, he opened up about his relationship with Rihanna for the first time.

In the interview, he referred to Rihanna as “the love of my life” and “my lady.”

When is Rihanna’s baby due?

Previously, fans theorized that Rihanna’s due date would be in May after ASAP bought her a charm bracelet which they believe gives major clues.

Amongst the expensive charms on the bracelet, A$AP added an emerald love locket which is the birthstone for May – and fans think this could be the due date.

It turns out, that the online speculation was correct.

On May 13, 2022, the two superstars welcomed their first child together – a baby boy whose name is not yet disclosed to the public.
