How Rihanna kept fans fooled

Congratulations are in order for Rihanna and boyfriend A$AP Rocky as the singer confirmed she’s expecting the couple’s first child.

RiRi, 33, was photographed in New York taking a stroll with her rapper beau, wearing a pink coat unbuttoned to reveal her bare bump, accessorised with lashings of bling.

The couple’s photographer pal, Miles Diggs, simply wrote, “She is!” as he posted the photos on Instagram of the pregnant star while A$AP – real name Rakim Mayers – tenderly holds her arm.

A few days later, the Diamonds singer revealed her bump in a post on her own Instagram account too.

“How the gang pulled up to black history month,” she captioned the image, which saw her in the bathroom pulling up her top.
