Rihanna learned the hard way that it’s not easy sticking to an exercise routine when a cute little guy is demanding her attention. On Saturday, the pop star, who is expecting her second child later this year, shared a video on Instagram that shows her son thwarting her workout plans.
In the video, the toddler (whose name he and fellow A$AP Rocky haven’t shared yet) smiles at a video playing off-camera while he sits happily on his mom’s lap. The little boy also shows off some new teeth, while his mom hugs him. However, at the end of the video, Rihanna, whose growing baby bump is on display in her workout outfit, pleads with her son to let her get some exercise. “Please,” she says at the end of the video.
“Look who doesn’t want mommy to work out 🤷🏿♀️,” she captioned her post. Rihanna didn’t get much sympathy from her famous friends, who couldn’t stop cuddling up to their little boy. “That smile!!!!!!!!!! ♥️” commented Kelly Rowland. “Sailing Sunset” star Amanza Smith said, “That face ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.”
Rihanna and Rocky welcomed their first child last May. The “Umbrella” singer shocked fans when she revealed she’s expecting baby number two during the Super Bowl halftime show in February. In a February interview with British Vogue, Rihanna shared how being a parent has brought her and Rocky closer together during the past year.
“We have to be on the same page, but it’s always been like that in our relationship. Everything changes when you have kids, but I wouldn’t say it’s done anything but made us closer,” he told the outlet.
Whether or not she’ll stop at two kids, Rihanna is leaving the door open for more. “Listen, I’m down for anything,” she said. “I wish I could have more kids but whatever God wants for me, I’m here.”
