Rihanna Reveals Why She Chose Old Friend A$AP Rocky to Settle Down While Hinting God Played a Role: ‘I Just Let Him Go’

Rihanna has revealed the reason she chose A$AP Rocky to settle down.

Turns out, all that time during lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic caused their romance to accelerate.

The 36-year-old singer and the 35-year-old rap star began dating shortly before the global health crisis began, and now Rihanna feels the pandemic was a turning point in their relationship.

The We Found Love hitmaker, who has children RZA and Riot with Rocky, said Interview magazine: ‘COVID accelerated our relationship, and I felt like God knew we needed to do it because we were going to start a family.

“And if it hadn’t been for COVID, we would have taken a lot longer to get comfortable with each other, even to know that we were ready.”

Rihanna believes her current romance is unlike anything she has ever experienced before and was always convinced Rocky would become a “great dad.”

The award-winning star, who previously dated Chris Brown and businessman Hassan Jameel, explained: “I let God guide me and I just let myself go. Because in previous relationships, I tried and tried and tried the best I could, and still you feel like it’s not enough.

“So when someone sees you completely, believes in you, and thinks you’re worthy of being the mother of their children, it’s a great feeling.” I felt the same way about him.

“I knew he would be a great father.”

Rihanna has enjoyed the challenge of motherhood.

When asked if she was amazed by what she had accomplished in her life, Rihanna shared, “The only thing I knew I wanted, or could imagine, was motherhood. I didn’t know how I would get there, but it’s the best part of my journey so far.” now. Everything else was a surprise.”

He also said that he would love to have a girl.

The chart-topping star already has two children, RZA and Riot, with A$AP Rocky, and Rihanna remains interested in having another child.

When asked how many children she wants to have, Rihanna told Interview magazine: “As many as God wants me to have.”

When asked if she wants more than two children, the singer responded: ‘I don’t know what God wants, but I would choose more than two. I would try it with my girl. But of course, if she’s another boy, she’s another boy.

Rihanna said she and Rocky think alike.

She shared: ‘We saw fashion the same way. We saw creatives the same. We end up in the same circles a lot.

“And beyond that, as we grew up, we ended up supporting each other’s brands, products and creativity all the time.”

The loved-up duo have known each other for many years and largely knew what to expect from each other when they entered into a relationship.

The ‘Rude Boy’ hitmaker explained: ‘We’ve known each other for a long time.

‘I’ve seen it in relationships. He’s seen me in relationships. We have seen each other outside of relationships. We knew what we were capable of and the problems we could bring to the lives of others.

‘We can make or break each other’s hearts. And then we started to go out with great caution.

Rihanna wasn’t sure if her romance would succeed or fail, but she was determined to try.

She said: ‘I just let what was supposed to happen happen. It was just, “This is a flower. It will either die or bloom. But I’m going to let it decide for itself.”
