Rihanna continues to delight fans days after her epic Super Bowl halftime show performance. The nine-time Grammy Award-winner is the cover model of British Vogue’s March 2023 issue, alongside partner A$AP Rocky and their 9-month-old son.

Rihanna and the publication announced the news in a joint Instagram post on Feb. 15. In the gorgeous image, she wore a black halter-neck dress with a thigh-high slit. She and her family were captured as they walked along a beach, with the “Diamonds” singer leading the charge.

In the accompanying cover story, the 34-year-old opened up about everything from motherhood to her relationship and career. It also featured more stunning imagery of the family of three, captured by photography duo Inez & Vinoodh.

“Essentially, from one person I became two. You walk into the hospital as a couple and leave as a family of three. It’s nuts. And oh, my gosh, those first days are insane. You don’t sleep. At all. Not even if you wanted to,” Rihanna said of the initial days of motherhood. “We came home, cold turkey, had no one. It was just us as parents and our baby. Man, you’re a zombie for the most part.”

The Fenty Beauty founder, who has not yet shared her son’s name publicly, noted that fashion while pregnant “was a piece of cake” but putting together outfits that made her feel good postpartum was a different story.

“But dressing in postpartum, what the f--- do you do? The week that I came home from the hospital—that was nothing but sweats and hoodies,” she stated. “But the weeks after that, you don’t know what to put on. Everything is too small or too big.”

As for new music, RiRi teased that she hopes to release something later this year—even though she'll have her hands full, as she and A$AP Rocky are currently expecting their second child.

“Like, honestly, it’d be ridiculous if it’s not this year,” she said. “But I just want to have fun.”
