What Rihanna Has Said About Motherhood
It’s quite obvious that the Savage X Fenty creator enjoys being a mom, as she has provided several interviews over the past year regarding her pregnancies and her feelings about being a first-time parent. While at the Met Gala in May 2023, she told Entertainment Tonight that her second pregnancy was different than her first. “It’s so different from the first one,” she raved at the time. “Just everything! No cravings, tons of nausea, everything’s different.”
Rihanna also indicated that her second pregnancy left her feeling energized. “I’m enjoying it! I feel good… I feel energetic,” she shared. “I’m in love! I’m obsessed and I don’t even feel guilty about it.” Months prior, in February 2023, she also chatted to Vogue UK about postpartum life. “It’s everything. You really don’t remember life before, that’s the craziest thing ever,” Rihanna told the fashion publication. “There are photos of my life before – but the feeling, the desires, the things that you enjoy, everything, you just don’t identify with it because you don’t even allow yourself mentally to get that far.”

She also spoke candidly about what the initial days were like when they brought home RZA. “Essentially, from one person I became two. You walk into the hospital as a couple and leave as a family of three. It’s nuts. And oh, my gosh, those first days are insane,” she added. “You don’t sleep. At all. Not even if you wanted to. We came home, cold turkey, had no one. It was just us as parents and our baby. Man, you’re a zombie for the most part.”
