Rihanna is allegedly feeling the stress and pressure of her first pregnancy.
In its May 9 issue, Star claimed that Rihanna is struggling to enjoy her pregnancy journey after her baby daddy, A$AP Rocky was arrested and charged with assault.
“Rihanna can’t believe this is happening. She escaped to Barbados to find some peace and quiet, but trouble seems to have followed her back to L.A,” the source said.
One week before the rapper’s arrest, there were also rumors that A$AP Rocky cheated on Rihanna with shoe designer, Amina Muaddi.
“Rihanna tried to maintain her composure after those rumors surfaced, but this new development doesn’t help her trust issues. Sometimes, she feels she doesn’t even know Rocky at all. Rihanna’s in her third trimester and the stress of this drama is the latest thing she needs. She still loves Rocky, but she’s got to think of herself and the baby,” the source said.
While it is true that A$AP Rocky’s arrest must have been stressful for Rihanna, there’s no proof that she’s at breaking point. In fact, the “Umbrella” singer just showed her support for the rapper during his concert.
On April 30, Rihanna was photographed at the Smoker’s Club Festival in Los Angeles, where A$AP Rocky took the stage and performed for his fans.
A source told Us Weekly that the “Diamonds” singer decided to have a good time at the concert and she refused to talk about A$AP Rocky’s arrest.
“[Rihanna] hasn’t spoken much about [the arrest]. She’s truly focused on her pregnancy and not trying to get too stressed. She is very confident about everything and has told friends she just hopes for a positive outcome,” the source said.
Last month, Rihanna also sat down for an interview with Vogue where she talked about her pregnancy. The singer revealed that she has been having unique cravings, which include chocolate-covered donuts, tangerines, and everything salty.
Rihanna also said that her pregnancy hasn’t necessarily changed her. And this is the reason why she’s enjoying the journey even more.
“I think I even say yes to more now because I know it will be different on the other side of this. At first, I expected some magical change, but really I remain who I am.” In other words, “none of the dials are turned down,” she said.
