Rihanna turned the premiere of her new film, Smurfs, into a fun-filled family day out.
The pregnant mother-of-two, 37, brought along sons, RZA, 3, and Riot, 23 months, whom she shares with partner, A$AP Rocky, as her dates to the Los Angeles premiere of the animated film on Sunday, July 13.
Posing for photos on the fittingly blue carpet in a lacy floor-length gown that hugged her growing belly, the “We Found Love” hitmaker held her childrens’ hands as she beamed in front of the cameras.
Riot and RZA also dressed up for the occasion, sporting adorable formal attire including a pink tie and itty bitty double-breasted jacket.
The tiny tots were also treated to a meeting with characters from the upcoming film, including Smurfette (voiced by Rihanna in the movie), and Papa Smurf, who posed alongside the trio for photos and, at one stage, knelt down to engage with the delighted children.
Rihanna had her own moment in the spotlight, posing for individual snaps with a pair of black sunglasses.
The family outing comes after Rihanna, who announced her pregnancy with her third child while attending May’s Met Gala, recently shared photos from a family road trip. Taking to Instagram to offer a glimpse into the clan’s personal life, Rihanna shared a snap of RZA holding a French language workbook, on which Rocky, 36, commented, “RZA man learning French” with three crying laughing emojis.
Rocky told the Associated Press at the Met Gala that he was excited to return to baby town. “It feels amazing, you know,” the rapper said at the time. “It’s time that we show the people what we was cooking up. And I’m glad everybody’s happy for us ’cause we’re definitely happy, you know.”
Rihanna reflected on Rocky’s parenting skills during an interview with Harper’s Bazaar in February, telling the outlet that the “greatest thing” about Rocky is “seeing him be a dad.” So much so that she may have underestimated just how much their children would dote on him.
“I’m annoyed because my sons sometimes just live for him more than they live for me,” she told the outlet. “And I’m like, ‘Did you know who cooked you? Do you know who pushed you out?’ And they love him, but when I see it, oh, it’s the best.”
As for adding another child into the equation, Rocky compared their growing brood to another famous Hollywood family while speaking to Entertainment Tonight on June 28. “We’re going to be like the Wayans family,” he joked to the outlet. “I mean, love is beautiful, and it’s just spreading it.”
