“Why I Flaunt My Pregnancy “- Rihanna Explains

Popular Barbadian singer Rihanna has disclosed her reason for constantly putting her baby bump on display.

The expectant billionaire businesswoman in an interview during the shoot for her feature on the cover of May edition of Vogue Magazine said pregnancy should be celebrated and not hidden.

Rihanna explained upon the confirmation of her pregnancy, she intentionally decided not to shop for maternity clothes.

“When I found out I was pregnant, I thought to myself, there is no way I’m going to go shopping in no maternity aisle

My body is doing incredible things right now, and I’m not going to be ashamed of that. This time should feel celebratory because why should you be hiding your pregnancy?

“I’m sorry, it’s too much fun to get dressed up and I am not going to let that part disappear because my body is changing,” she said.

Since announcing her pregnancy with a series of eye-catching photos, Rihanna has continued to turn heads with her bold maternity style as she hopes the society is able to “redefine what’s considered ‘decent’ for pregnant women”, she further told Vogue.

They Were Not Actively Planning for a Baby.

“Planning? I wouldn’t say planning. But certainly not planning against it. I don’t know when I ovulate or any of that type of shit. We just had fun,” Rih explained. “And then it was just there on the test. I didn’t waste any time. I called him inside and showed him. Then I was in the doctor’s office the next morning and our journey began.”

During the lockdown, Rih and A$AP’s friendship blossomed into a romantic one with the help of an epic road trip they took from New York to Los Angeles during the summer of 2020.

“He became my family in that time…I cooked our food on this little janky grill I bought from Walmart. I still have it, too. It works like nobody’s business.” She added, “There’s no pretentious my-brand-your-brand bullsh-t, it’s just us living…I just feel like I can do any part of life by his side.”

After traveling across the country together, Rih felt like it was time for A$AP to meet her mother, Monica Braithwaite, in her native Barbados. “My mother has a really good read on people. She observes first and then she’ll move slowly. I guess I’m like that too,” she said. “There are some guys that I’ve dated that she won’t even look at to this day. But she was charmed by him from the jump.”

Rihanna is not fond of eating sweets, but that has changed. “I usually hate desserts, but all of a sudden you come close to me with a chocolate-​covered donut and you’ve got my heart forever,” she told the interviewer, adding that tangerines sprinkled with salt is another favorite snack of hers. “It has to be with salt and only with salt, because in Barbados we take our fruits to the ocean and soak them,” she insists. “Trust me, it really is a thing.”
