KEY POINTS

  • Rihanna has chosen to focus on her pregnancy after the arrest of her boyfriend A$AP Rocky
  • The Fenty Beauty mogul plans to give birth to her baby in Barbados and spend the first few months there
  • Rocky got arrested in Los Angeles for assault with a deadly weapon from an alleged November 2021 incident

Rihanna is already in her third trimester, but several things are going on in her personal life as she waits for the arrival of her first baby with boyfriend A$AP Rocky.

Rocky was arrested Wednesday morning at the Los Angeles International Airport for assault with a deadly weapon from an alleged late 2021 incident. He and his pregnant girlfriend had just returned from a trip to Barbados.

"This drama is the last thing Rihanna needs right now. She wants to be mellow, relaxed, and focused 100 percent on the arrival of her baby -- not stressing out!" an unnamed source told Entertainment Tonight. "This arrest was not something they saw coming."

The outlet noted that the Fenty Beauty mogul is focused on her pregnancy and wants to give birth in her home country, Barbados.

"Despite strong ties to New York, the plan was to make L.A. the home base once the baby came," the source added. "However, Rihanna wants to give birth in Barbados and spend the first few months with the baby there before coming stateside."

The source added, "Rihanna made a point to navigate the public side of her pregnancy on her own terms and now suddenly things seem out of her control."

As for Rocky's arrest, the L.A. District Attorney's Office told ET in another report that "a case has been presented and is under review."

According to the police, an argument between "two acquaintances" occurred in the Hollywood area in November 2021. However, it escalated and resulted in the suspect firing a gun at the victim, injuring the latter.

"The victim sustained a minor injury from the incident and later sought medical treatment. Following the shooting, the suspect and two additional males fled the area on foot," the police added.

The outlet already reached out to Rocky's lawyer for comment.

Before the arrest, there were rumors that Rihanna broke up with her baby daddy because she allegedly caught him cheating on her with a Fenty show designer. All the parties involved have already addressed the issue.

Amina Muaddi, the alleged third party, called it "fake gossip — fabricate with such malicious intent" and denied the rumored affair with Rocky. Louis Pisano, the social media influencer, who started the rumor, also apologized for his "reckless tweets."
