Rihanna shocked the world last weekend during her Super Bowl Halftime Show. She had hinted about a surprise guest before the performance, and it turns out, the surprise guest was in her belly! That’s right, Rihanna and her boyfriend A$AP Rocky are expecting their second child together.
And in the March issue of British Vogue, the 34-year-old singer opened up about how motherhood has been treating her so far. After all, she just gave birth to her firstborn nine months ago.

She admitted the birth was beautiful, but the whole experience was a bit of a wild ride.
I cannot believe it. 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. 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.
Rihanna also talked about the paranoia that comes along with being a new parent. As she mentioned above, they didn’t have help for the first few days, and she couldn’t help but think, “Why did people think we could handle this?”
But now that she has some months under her belt, she’s finding her groove.
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, because…. Because it doesn’t matter.
Sounds like motherhood is treating her well!
