Rihanna has shared her heartfelt experience of motherhood just months after welcoming her first child with rapper A$AP Rocky in May. Speaking at her Savage X Fenty Show Vol. 4 event, the singer and entrepreneur reflected on how becoming a parent has completely transformed her life.

“Life starts over when you become a parent; it’s like a new book, not just a chapter,” Rihanna explained to Access Hollywood on the black carpet. She expressed her deep love for her baby boy, describing the experience as “amazing” as he learns about the world and forms a connection with her. “When he looks at me in my eyes, my whole soul—it’s just like dropping. It’s amazing!”

Despite the joy of motherhood, Rihanna revealed that she returned to work just three days after giving birth, reflecting her dedication to her thriving Savage x Fenty brand. She shared that her involvement was crucial, especially for ensuring sportswear was included in the upcoming show. “If I didn’t get on that call, honestly, we wouldn’t have sport be a part of the show, so it was important to me,” Rihanna stated.

However, the star humorously admitted that post-birth life brought some unexpected changes, particularly when it came to wearing heels. “After you give birth, it’s like ‘oh sh*t…this is different,’” she joked, reflecting on how her body adapted after pregnancy.

Rihanna’s candid reflections on motherhood reveal the profound impact it has had on her life. While she continues to dominate in the business and entertainment world, her role as a mother has brought new meaning to everything she does. The superstar has shown her strength and resilience, balancing her career and personal life while embracing the joys and challenges of parenthood.

As Rihanna navigates her new life as a mother, fans eagerly await to see how she continues to inspire and thrive in both her personal and professional endeavors.
