Rihanna took the stage at the Super Bowl on Sunday to deliver a medley of hits — and reveal some personal news.
The 34-year-old chart-topper arrived as the headliner for the 2023 halftime show in an all-red ensemble. Her jumpsuit was unzipped below her belly button, accentuating a baby bump, which Rihanna seemed to caress throughout the performance.
Fans on social media immediately began to speculate that Rihanna is expecting her second child with A$AP Rocky, who was watching the show from the sidelines. A representative for the singer confirmed her pregnancy to The Hollywood Reporter.

Rihanna gave birth to the couple's first child, a baby boy, in May 2022.
She told Entertainment Tonight that her son is a "happy baby" and that waking up to his face is her favorite part of motherhood.
"Seeing a baby with, like, little bags and waking up and they're just, like, startled. They're trying to figure out where they're at," she said in November. "It's the cutest, it's my favorite part of the day."
Back in March 2020, Rihanna told British Vogue that she planned to have "three or four" kids in the next 10 years, even if she didn't have a partner.
Some fans were jokingly disappointed that Rihanna is pregnant again since many had hoped her return to performing live would yield new music.
Rihanna has not released an album since "Anti" in 2016, but she has repeatedly hinted that her ninth album is on the way.

The Grammy winner performed a variety of old songs at the Super Bowl, including No. 1 hits like "Umbrella" and "Diamonds."
A representative for Rihanna did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment regarding her pregnancy.
