Going from an only child to an older sibling can be quite the adjustment — even for celebrity babies. Rihanna just shared RZA's super-relatable (and adorable) reaction to becoming a big brother to her and A$AP Rocky's second son, Riot.

"He struggled in the beginning, but he loves his little brother," Rihanna told Entertainment Tonight at the launch of her FENTY X Puma Creeper Phatty Sneaker on Monday. He's even already protective over the little one, who was born in August.

"Every time he thinks we're not looking at him, he'll come over and touch him," she continued. "If the baby's crying, he'll just hold his hands. It hurts him if the baby's crying. He'll wake up in the morning just saying, 'Baby, baby, baby.' He loves him. It took a while, but he got there, and I'm proud of him."

Rihanna also reflected on her boy-mom status saying that two sons weren't necessarily on her bingo card, but she's been thriving in her new role. "They're the best though," she gushed. "Having a house full of boys, I thought I was a girl mom, but I'm a boy mom. I love this. I love it."

RZA was born in May 2022. Earlier this year, RiRi announced her second pregnancy with the most epic baby announcement, maybe ever. During her performance at the 2023 Super Bowl, the singer debuted her blossoming bump in a red flight suit and breastplate from Loewe. Rihanna and her longtime boyfriend welcomed their second son in August. At the time, a source revealed to People that "Rihanna feels her family is now complete."
