Rocki Irish Mayers was born on September 13, 2025.
Rihanna released the news publicly on September 24, 2025, via an Instagram post. In her post, she shared tender images of herself cradling Rocki, wrapped in a pink blanket, along with a second picture featuring tiny pink boxing gloves tied with ribbons. The caption simply read:
“Rocki Irish Mayers Sept 13 2025 🎀”
The public announcement came almost two weeks after Rocki’s birth. This is a class act because it allowed mother and daughter to rest. It also allowed the family, including friends to take in and celebrate Rocki's birth without interference from paparazzi.
Rocki joins two older brothers: RZA Athelston Mayers, born in May 2022, and Riot Rose Mayers, born in 2023. The naming pattern here continues the couple’s tradition of giving their children names beginning with the letter “R.”
The first name Rocki appears to be a nod to her father’s stage name (A$AP Rocky), whose real name is Rakim Athelston Mayers. While Irish as a middle name adds a poetic and personal touch.

The announcement stirred exuberant responses across social media, with fans, celebrities, and media outlets congratulating the couple. Many highlighted Rihanna’s polished, signature style even in this deeply personal moment. She was seen wearing a gold “R” pendant and coordinating accessories in her post.
Coverage across outlets emphasized the elegance and restraint of the announcement favoring a softly intimate reveal over grand spectacle.

With the arrival of Rocki, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky now navigate life as parents of three children under the age of four. Fans and media alike will undoubtedly look for glimpses of their evolving family life, while respecting the privacy the couple has long maintained.
For now, the focus remains on celebrating this new chapter; the joy, the love, and the gentle unveiling of a new life named Rocki Irish Mayers.
