Rihanna and A$AP Rocky went public with their romance in 2020, with the 'Praise The Lord' hit maker admitting the pair had spent the majority of Summer 2022 travelling together.
However, rumours of a romance between the two actually first started to circulate way back in 2013 when A$AP supported Rihanna on her 'Diamonds World Tour'.
Since then, the loved-up pair rocked the red carpet together at the 2021 Met Gala, and have since gushed about each other in interviews.
Speaking to GQ, A$AP, real name Rakim Mayers, said: "She amounts to probably, like, a million of the other ones. I think when you know, you know. She's the One."
A$AP has also previously spoke about the potential of becoming a dad, telling the publication: "I think I’d be an incredible, remarkably, overall amazing dad. I would have a very fly child. Very."
