Rihanna shares unseen bikini photos as Barbados celebrates 59th Independence Day

Pop star Rihanna has shared unseen bikini photos from her pregnancies to celebrate Barbados’ 59th Independence Day.

The 37-year-old singer, who recently welcomed her daughter Rocki Irish Mayers with husband A$AP Rocky, posted the photos on Instagram while visiting her home country.

In one photo, a pregnant Rihanna was seen floating in the sea in a bikini and enjoying a drink from a coconut. Another showed her second son, Riot Rose Mayers, happily eating fresh fruit.

Rihanna wrote in the caption: “Congratulations to Barbados, MY HOME, on our 59th year of Independence and our 4th year as a Republic! Barbados I LOVE YOU!!!!” She also mentioned the installation of the country’s 2nd President, Lt. Col. Jeffrey Bostic, and praised Prime Minister Mia Mottley.

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have three children: RZA, 3; Riot, 2; and Rocki, their newborn daughter. The couple confirmed Rihanna’s third pregnancy at the Met Gala in May 2025, with A$AP Rocky saying he hoped for a girl.

The unseen bikini photos give fans a rare look at Rihanna’s family life and her connection to her homeland.
