Rihanna is celebrating motherhood on International Women’s Day!
On Saturday, March 8, the Fenty Beauty founder, 37, shared a pair of photos on her Instagram which were taken just after she welcomed each of her sons — RZA, now 2, and Riot Rose, 19 months.
“By far the most powerful thing I’ve ever done as a woman…my little miracles! #InternationalWomensDay,” she captioned the post, noting that the first snapshot showed her elder son and the second photo was taken after Riot Rose’s birth.
The delivery room photos show the always-glamorous pop star sporting a gold necklace and pearls as she welcomed RZA into the world, and a pair of pink sunglasses after giving birth to her younger child.
“And yes I gave birth in pearls and sunglasses…don’t ask, a lot was happening,” she joked in the caption.
Rihanna shares her two sons with partner A$AP Rocky, whom she’s been with since 2020.
The entrepreneur has often been candid about how she loves being a mother. Shortly after she gave birth to RZA, she posed for the cover of British Vogue with both Rocky, 36, and their then-baby son. The cover features a sweet family photo of the trio walking along a beach, as Rocky holds the smiling infant while giving him a kiss on the forehead and Rihanna walks in front of them.
In the corresponding cover story, Rihanna called motherhood “legendary,” adding, “It’s everything. You really don’t remember life before — that’s the craziest thing ever.”

“You literally try to remember it — and 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 told Vogue at the time. “Because it doesn’t matter.”
The “Umbrella” singer revealed that she was expecting her second baby during her 2023 Super Bowl halftime show performance, and Riot was eventually born in August of that year.
A source told PEOPLE at the time that “Rihanna feels her family is now complete” and “it’s something she’s always wanted.”
“She loves being a mom, so this is where her mind is at the moment,” the source explained.

Rocky hasn’t been left out, however. Rihanna has publicly shown her love for her partner and praised him as a father.
In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar published in February, the singer said that the “greatest thing” about the rapper “is seeing him be a dad.”
The star also joked that her parenting contributions sometimes go noticed by their kids — to the point where she even gets a bit irked.
“I’m annoyed because my sons sometimes just live for [their dad] more than they live for me,” she told Harper’s Bazaar. “And I’m like, ‘Did you know who cooked you? Do you know who pushed you out?’ And they love him, but when I see it, oh, it’s the best.”
