Rihanna just shared a huge update: she and A$AP Rocky have welcomed baby number three. The good news has already won over us, but there’s something else in the announcement pictures that got us all zooming in.
Hanging around her neck was a gold piece worth a cool $7,950, and of course, it has a story behind it.
Rihanna Gives Birth To Her Third Child
The last time we saw Rihanna was with a baby bump in the streets of New York. The speculation ended soon after, when Rocky confirmed the pregnancy at the Met Gala.
The Fenty founder appeared at the fashion extravaganza this year held in honor of the “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” exhibition. As expected, she dazzled up her baby bump in a black cropped woolen jacket, a wool bustier bodysuit, and a black pinstripe wool tailored skirt with a bustle, all by Marc Jacobs.

Even after that, she was spotted wearing a sheer baby blue baby-doll set by Chanel to the Belgian premiere of ‘Smurfs,‘ as well as a chocolate-brown Saint Laurent fall 2025 gown to the Los Angeles premiere. From there, it was only a matter of time before the couple expanded their family again.
Meet Rocki Irish Mayers
Together since 2020, the pair already shares two sons, RZA, 3, and Riot, 2. Friends of the couple have often said Rihanna dreamed of a big family. She wanted her kids close in age so that they could grow up together.
But unlike the first two pregnancies, the couple created quite a hush-hush regarding the bump reveal and even the gender reveal of the baby.

The day finally came on September 24, when Rihanna finally gave fans the update they were waiting for. Posting on Instagram, she revealed that her daughter, Rocki Irish Mayers, had been born on September 13. She captioned the post, writing, “Rocki Irish Mayers Sept 13 2025.”
One photo showed Rihanna holding Rocki in a pink blanket. The other highlighted tiny pink baby gloves. And we couldn’t get enough of it until our eyes got stuck on the neckpiece Rihanna was flaunting. Although Rihanna was wearing other pieces as well, her bold gold pendant stole the spotlight.
The “R” Necklace Stole Attention
The “R” necklace turned out to be the Splendente Letter Pendant from Renato Cipullo, a New York City-based jeweller with Italian roots. Made in yellow gold with a chunky box-style design, the necklace is priced at $7,950. Turns out, it’s part of a collection inspired by Cipullo’s heritage and his experiences in New York during the 1970s.
According to Cipullo’s team, the font for the design was originally created for his aunt before becoming part of the brand’s larger collection. With Rihanna now wearing it, the pendant has got all the spotlight it deserves.
Sure, the pendant comes with a hefty price tag. But the moment Rihanna created with her baby will forever be etched in our memory. And no price tag can compete with that.
