“Chart Your Own Path:” Fan Praises Rihanna’s Pregnancy at 37

Rihanna’s stunning appearance at the 2025 Met Gala turned heads but sparked powerful conversations about womanhood, timing, and societal expectations. The global superstar and fashion icon confirmed she is expecting her third child at age 37, once again challenging the pressure placed on women to meet life’s milestones by a certain age.

In a viral quote, fan, entrepreneur and wellness advocate Yasmine Jameelah said, 

“Let Rihanna serve as a reminder to the girls in your 30s that you have time. She pulled up to the Met Gala announcing her 3rd pregnancy at 37. While society might say women over 30 are on a timer, she is clearly moving on divine timing. And so can you. Chart your own path, build your life big and full, and remember that your journey is  yours.”

Rihanna is a Barbadian singer, actress, and entrepreneur who has defied norms throughout her career. As of February 2025, her estimated net worth stands at $1.4 billion, making her the youngest self-made female billionaire in the United States and the third wealthiest musician in the world. Much of her wealth stems from her groundbreaking beauty brand, Fenty Beauty, which she co-owns with LVMH.

At the Met Gala, held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, Rihanna debuted her baby bump in a show-stopping Marc Jacobs ensemble, effortlessly merging maternity with high fashion. She attended the event alongside her partner, rapper A$AP Rocky. The couple already share two sons: RZA Athelston Mayers, born in May 2022, and Riot Rose Mayers, born in August 2023.

Rihanna’s journey continues to inspire women navigating their 30s. By embracing motherhood on her own terms while excelling in business and entertainment, she challenges outdated norms that pressure women to prioritise marriage or give up their dreams once they reach a certain age.

Through her life and legacy, Rihanna is not just redefining celebrity but also redefining womanhood.
