Rihanna has recalled keeping her pregnancy a secret from her friends.
The singer confirmed she’s expecting her first child with A$AP Rocky earlier this month, by debuting her baby bump while out for a walk with her rapper beau in New York City.
Speaking at a Fenty Beauty event this week, the 33-year-old admitted it was “hard” to keep her pregnancy under wraps.

She told E! News: “It was harder for me to keep it from my posse, because they’re around me, they know my habits.”
“They’re like, ‘You don’t want something to drink? You’re not smoking?’ And I’m eating all the things I’m not used to eating. They know I hate sweets and I’m all of a sudden asking for cookies and donuts.”
“But finally, I just had to let it all out, and they were all shocked, of course, as the world was shocked as well.”

Rihanna also spoke about how she felt after first learning she was pregnant.
The Savage X Fenty founder said: “When I first found out, it’s not real, you know? I was like, ‘This is not for real, right?'”
“And then, it was and it’s almost like you don’t want to get too excited too soon because it’s great news, but you…want to see that it’s going to see its way through. And I’m so glad that we’re this far along and now I can celebrate with everyone.”

Rihanna and A$AP, whose real name is Rakim Athelaston Mayers, were first linked in 2020.
The couple finally confirmed their romance last May, with A$AP gushing about his girlfriend in an interview with GQ magazine.
He said at the time: “The love of my life. My lady. [Relationships are] so much better when you got the One. She amounts to probably, like, a million of the other ones. I think when you know, you know. She’s the One.”
