New Delhi: Rihanna, who is expecting her second child, has been nominated for an Oscar for the first time in her career. On Sunday, as she prepared to perform ‘Lift Me Up’ at the 95th Academy Awards, the singer posted cute photos of her ten-month-old.
Rihanna updated her Instagram on Sunday, and one of the photos shows her son weeping. The singer wrote, "My son when he found out his sibling is going to the Oscars and not him". as the caption. Rihanna's boyfriend and the baby's father wrote "MR. MAYERS" and dropped a red heart in the comments area.
In one of the pictures, Rihanna's son was sitting on her lap as they watched the ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ music video. ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’, which features a song by Rihanna, was nominated for Best Original Song at the 95th Annual Academy Awards.
Rihanna said in a recent interview with Vogue that she and her boyfriend did not hire babysitters when they brought their newborn son home from the hospital. She said, “We came home [from the hospital], cold turkey, had no one. It was just us as parents and our baby. Man, you’re a zombie for the most part.”
Rihanna is expecting her second kid with her boyfriend ASAP Rocky, after the birth of their first child in May of 2022.
Rihanna told PEOPLE magazine “I'm living for my son. Everything matters now. You really start to take a lot into account. Everything is different, life before my son seems very obscure. It's very small and cloudy, it just got better with him.”
Work-wise, Rihanna has been busy, as she just recorded ‘Lift Me Up’ for the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever album.
