A$AP Rocky has shared his joy over welcoming his third child with Rihanna, describing his newborn daughter as his “favourite thing” he has created this year.

Speaking to Complex in an interview published on Thursday, the rapper expressed his love for his daughter, Rocki Irish Mayers, who was born on September 13. “My daughter. That’s my favourite thing I created this year. Shout out to Rocki Irish, man,” he said.

Rocky and Rihanna, both 37, announced their daughter’s arrival on September 24 in an Instagram post that read, “Rocki Irish Mayers Sept 13 2025 🎀.” The couple are also parents to sons RZA, 3 and Riot, 2.

Before the birth, Rocky had revealed in a September interview with Elle that he was hoping for a girl after welcoming two sons. “I hope it’s a girl. I really do. We’re praying for a girl,” he said at the time, adding that this pregnancy felt “so different” from the previous ones.

Rihanna has often praised Rocky for his parenting skills. Speaking to Harper’s Bazaar earlier this year, the “Umbrella” singer said the “greatest thing” about her partner “is seeing him be a dad,” joking that their sons “live for him more than they live for me.”

Rocky previously referred to Rihanna as “The One” in a 2021 GQ interview, calling their relationship “perfect” and built on “understanding and compatibility.”
