It is reported that singer Rihanna and rapper A$AP Rocky are celebrating the birth of their first child, a baby boy, last week.

People reports that it has confirmed the news, which was first reported by another celebrity website, TMZ. The TMZ article said the baby was born in Los Angeles on 13 May.

Since announcing her pregnancy in January, the Barbados-born singer has become known for pushing maternity style boundaries.

Last month, she told American Vogue that she hopes her pregnancy has been able to "redefine what's considered 'decent' for pregnant women," after embracing her changing body.

She added: "My body is doing incredible things right now, and I'm not going to be ashamed of that. This time should feel celebratory. Because why should you be hiding your pregnancy?"

Rihanna, who launched her Savage X Fenty lingerie brand in 2018, said she never considered changing her style after finding out she was pregnant.

She said: "When I found out I was pregnant, I thought to myself, 'There's no way I'm going to go shopping in no maternity aisle'..."I'm sorry - it's too much fun to get dressed up. I'm not going to let that part disappear because my body is changing."
