Rihanna and boyfriend A$AP Rocky will hold a marriage ceremony in Barbados after their baby is born.
As Sis2Sis previously reported, the business mogul and the “Changes” rapper, both 33, recently announced they were expecting their first child together after celebrity photographer Miles Diggs captured her growing baby bump during a photoshoot in Harlem.
He posted a photo to his Instagram account with the caption “She is,” confirming the Barbadian singer’s pregnancy.

The couple plans to exchange vows in Rihanna’s native country, and the pop star tapped Prime Minister Mia Mottley, 56, as the child’s godmother.
A source close to the “Work” artist told the Sunday Mirror that “Rihanna is totally smitten with A$AP,” the insider said. “They have a very close bond, and Rihanna has always been quite traditional.”
“They will be married, for sure. She has told pals she wants to be with him forever, and he has said the same.”
The source continued, “There are no plans yet as to when the nuptials will be, but it won’t be before the baby is born. She has always wanted to get married, and A$AP is her forever person.”
“The wedding will be in Barbados as they both have family there. It’s the place that brought them together and holds a very special place in their hearts.”
After revealing the heartwarming news, Rihanna took to Instagram on Thursday and posted a photo of her baby bump with the caption, “how the gang pulled up to black history month.”
