While Americans spent Thanksgiving on food, football, and family traditions, Rihanna used the long weekend to highlight her home of Barbados; and quietly share new photos from her pregnancy. The singer posted a slideshow on Instagram on Monday (Dec. 1) that blended national pride with personal memories, offering a calm look at her connection to the island where she was born.
Rihanna opened the post by congratulating Barbados on its 59th year of Independence and 4th year as a Republic. She also acknowledged the country’s newly installed second President, His Excellency Lieutenant Colonel The Most Honorable Jeffrey Bostic, alongside Prime Minister Mia Mottley. Her message was paired with an image of her standing in tall grass, wind blowing across her face, giving the post a grounded tone.
Another set of pictures showed Rihanna sitting in the grass holding one of her babies, and walking poolside while carrying Riot Rose and guiding RZA by the hand. The post also featured memories from previous Crop Over celebrations, including traditional jeweled costumes, along with snapshots of local food, tropical drinks in coconut shells, and a tribute to the island’s well-known Snowcone Man.
The slideshow included beach scenes, her Barbadian passport, and a number of family photos with her two eldest children, RZA and Riot Rose, whom she shares with A$AP Rocky. Rihanna also inserted several previously unseen photos from her pregnancy with their third child, Rocki, now three months old. The images showed her floating in the ocean, relaxing with her sons, and posing at sunset in a green bikini during the late stages of pregnancy.
Rihanna’s post blended family life, national pride, and her ongoing support for Barbadian culture, offering fans a personal glimpse into the moments she continues to treasure.
