Rihanna shared the first glimpse of her baby with A$AP Rocky in an adorable TikTok video on Saturday, December 17.
The Umbrella singer gave birth to a baby boy on May 13, 2022, but has avoided sharing any content showing off her newborn. The TikTok clip features the baby smiling and cooing at the camera, while his mother can be heard laughing and softly saying:
"You tryna get Mommy's phone?"
Needless to say, fans have zeroed in on the heartwarming video, sharing their thoughts on the precious baby boy. They dubbed the baby, whose name has not yet been revealed, "Baby Fenty," after the mother's family name.
Netizens have fondly compared the baby to Rihanna's family, saying:
"Dem Fenty genes DONT PLAY."
The endearing video, uploaded with the caption "Hacked," was the singer's first TikTok and has already gone viral with over 3.5 million views.

As soon as news of the We Found Love singer's first TikTok spread, netizens went into a frenzy and shared their views on the adorable baby. Some called him "gorgeous" and "sweetest," while others remarked that he was a "quintessentially cute baby."
Many Twitteratis compared the baby's looks to his parents, commenting:

Here are a few comments seen on the micro-blogging platform talking about the cute baby:
After watching the adorable TikTok of Rihanna's baby, some netizens expressed a desire to have kids:
"Rihanna making me want another kid fr (for real)"
The Fenty Beauty founder announced her first baby in January 2022, stating that even though the pregnancy came as a surprise, she "couldn't be happier."
In April 2022, the singer-businesswoman, who donned several iconic maternity looks throughout her pregnancy, admitted to Vogue:
"I wouldn't say we were planning to start a family. But certainly not planning against it... We just had fun. And then it was just there on the test."
Ever since the baby was born, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have consciously kept him away from the paparazzi and media's reach.
Rihanna met A$AP Rocky several years ago and they were friends for a long time before rumors of their relationship spread in 2019. But it wasn't until 2021 that the couple announced they were together. In May 2021, Rocky gave an interview with GQ where he gushed about her, calling her "the one."
After the Grammy winner gave birth, a source told People she was "doing well" and that the couple were "very excited" to be parents. They added that the Diamonds singer is a "wonderful mom." The mother later opened up about her son while chatting with People, saying:
"He is funny, he's happy — and he's fat!" she said with a laugh. "He's amazing. It's a real cuddly stage right now."
Hollywood Unlocked shared exclusive photos of the "adorable baby boy" on December 17, 2022.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Rihanna has been nominated for a Golden Globe for her song Lift Me Up from Black Panther. She is also set to take the stage at the Super Bowl in February.
