In a newly released cover story for W Magazine, published Tuesday, A$AP Rocky spoke with unusual candor about his relationship with Rihanna, focusing on how parenthood has reshaped their lives. Reflecting on her evolution, he framed the changes as both personal and profound. “She has changed a lot because she became a mother in that time span, and that certainly changes you. But this woman has always been magic. Philosophically, the way she operates is on another level. She is the most charming and genuine person on Earth. Her energy is unmatched—one of a kind. I just adore her.” His remarks offered a glimpse into a partnership that has largely unfolded outside formal interviews.

Beyond public appearances, Rocky described a quieter rhythm at home, where shared interests anchor their time together. “We have so many of the same interests,” he said. “We were addicted to watching documentaries, like the Bob Marley one. Watching films together is so fun. We must’ve watched El Cantante 15 times.” The details, though small, point to a dynamic built as much on routine as on visibility.

The couple’s relationship began in 2020, early in the coronavirus pandemic, and has since expanded into a family of five. Their first son, RZA, arrived in 2022, followed by Riot in 2023 and their daughter, Rocki, in 2025. The feature also included commentary from artists such as Mary J. Blige, Pharrell Williams, Mariah Carey, and SZA, each reflecting on Rihanna’s reach across music and fashion. Blige noted her ability to shift industry standards, while Pharrell described her simply as a “force.”

For the magazine’s cover, Rihanna appears alongside her daughter, Rocki, in an image that quickly circulated online after publication. When she later shared the portrait on Instagram, responses poured in from fans. “She is wonderful. I want to hold her and read her fantastic stories of joy and victory. Beautiful baby gurrr,” one commenter wrote. Another added, “What’s better than one cover girl? Two cover girls!!”
