Rihanna explained that becoming a mother has made her more conscious of the impact her choices have on her children and the example she sets for them.
In an interview with British Vogue at the launch event for Fenty X Puma’s new brown creeper shoe at Tobacco Dock, the 36-year-old pop star Rihanna shared her thoughts on her past decisions.
As a mother of two sons, RZA Athelston Mayers and Riot Rose Mayers, whom she shares with her partner A$AP Rocky, Rihanna expressed a new perspective on certain outfit choices she now regrets.
She specifically said instances where she went topless in public and acknowledged that she now feels remorse for allowing her children to witness those images.
Rihanna emphasized that motherhood has made her more aware of the impact her choices have on her children and the importance of setting a positive example for them.
“It’s going to sound hypocritical because I did so much s**t in my life, I had my nipples out, I had my panties out.
“But now those are the things, I guess as a mom, and an evolved young lady, emphasis on young, it’s just things that I feel I would never do, or I’m just like ‘oh my god, I really did that? Nips out?”she said.
In a recent feature article for Interview Magazine, Rihanna opened up about her romantic journey with A$AP Rocky, who is not only her partner but also the father of her children.
Rihanna disclosed that while she initially crossed paths with Rocky back in 2012, their love story truly started to flourish in 2019.
“We saw fashion the same. We saw creative the same. We ended up in the same circles a lot.
“And past that, when we grew up, we ended up supporting each other’s brands and products and creative all the time.
“We’ve known each other for a long time. I’ve seen him in relationships. He’s seen me in relationships. We’ve seen each other outside of relationships.
“We knew what we’re capable of, and the trouble that we could bring to each other’s lives. We can make or break each other’s hearts.
“And so, we started dating with a lot of caution … I just let whatever was supposed to happen, happen. It was just, ‘This is a flower. It’s either going to die or blossom. But I’m going to let it decide itself,’” she remembered.
