Rihanna And A$AP Rocky Celebrate Son RZA’s Second Birthday With Family Fun

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky are reveling in their new life as a family of four! The couple recently celebrated their eldest son RZA’s second birthday in the most joyous way.

Rocky, 35, took to Instagram to share heartwarming photos in honor of RZA’s special day on Monday, May 13. The images included delightful moments from a family photo shoot, where RZA and his little brother Riot, 9 months, were seen laughing and playing on their parents’ laps. One particularly adorable selfie showed Rocky and RZA making the same face, capturing the fun spirit of the day.

“HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY 2 MY 1st BORN BABY BOY RZA ❤️,” the rapper captioned the photos.

The festivities didn’t stop with just family photos. On May 11, Rihanna, 36, and Rocky hosted an exclusive birthday bash at the Color Factory in New York City. This private party was a hit, featuring toys, slides, and even a ball pit for the little ones. The vibrant decorations, including a “RZA’s 2ND BIRTHDAY” banner and large cutouts of the toddler’s head, set a festive tone for the event.

Producer President Hitkidd and his wife, makeup artist Jasmine B. Cook, were among the guests who shared photos and videos from the celebration. Jazzy B’s Instagram posts gave fans a peek into the fun-filled event, highlighting a touching moment where Rihanna, Rocky, RZA, and Riot posed for a family photo against a bright pink background.

Ahead of RZA’s birthday, a source close to the family shared with PEOPLE that Rihanna and Rocky prioritize their family above all. “Family comes first” for the pair, who have built a solid foundation of friendship since meeting in 2012 and beginning their romantic relationship in 2019. The source noted that their strong bond has only grown stronger with the addition of their children.

In the source’s words: “They have always had a solid friendship and the romance just enhanced that.”

Rocky is known for being a “fun dad,” while Rihanna thrives in her role as a mother, deeply loving every aspect of parenting RZA and Riot. “She brings the kids on every trip, including work trips,” another insider shared, adding, “The kids come with her everywhere. She never complains that she’s tired. She seems to just love life.”
