This news doesn’t entirely surprise fans, given that Rihanna’s last album, Anti, was released in 2016. Since then, her musical output has been limited to special soundtrack contributions, like her 2022 feature on Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

The couple has two young sons, RZA and Riot Rose, with Rihanna expressing her love for motherhood and hinting at a desire to have a daughter someday.
The Fenty mogul recently blended her business and family life in a special way, featuring her children in the latest Savage X Fenty holiday campaign. Rihanna’s bold venture into fashion, beauty, and family life suggests a new chapter for the star, and while fans will miss her music, they can continue supporting her in these exciting endeavors.
