There’s a belief many couples quietly accept once children enter the picture: romance becomes optional. Between sleepless nights, packed schedules, and the sheer exhaustion of keeping tiny humans alive, spending intentional time with your partner often slips to the bottom of the list.
It’s not always framed as a problem, more like a reality people learn to live with.But that assumption doesn’t always hold. Speaking candidly this week, A$AP Rocky offered a glimpse into how he and Rihanna navigate their relationship while raising three young children, and why they’ve made a conscious decision not to let parenthood erase the dynamic that brought them together in the first place.Appearing on Wednesday’s episode of the “Ebro Show,” the rapper explained that maintaining their connection isn’t about grand gestures, but about staying intentional.
“You got to spice it up. You got to still date. You got to still be friends. We roll [music] dice. We play cards,” Rocky said.He even joked about how competitive things can get at home. “Like, she a cheater,” he quipped. “We be playing crazy eights.”For Rocky, the effort isn’t optional, it’s essential. “I love that girl to death, man. You know, word. We got to keep the funk going cuz if not, what we doing then?”The couple, who began dating in 2020, now share three children: their eldest son RZA, born in May 2022; Riot, born in August 2023; and daughter Rocki, who arrived in September 2025.
Date nights, marriage rumors, and life at home
Both 37, Rocky and Rihanna have continued to make time for date nights since welcoming their third child. In November, the pair were photographed wearing matching fur coats during a romantic evening in Paris. Weeks later, they were spotted again in coordinated leather looks while out together in Santa Monica.There have also been speculations on their marriage plans. In an interview with Perfect Magazine published in October, Rocky referred to himself as Rihanna’s “husband,” adding, “Being a father and a partner and a loving husband in my family is what makes me really, really happy.”When asked directly about marriage in a September interview with Elle, he kept things deliberately vague. “How you know I’m not already a husband?” he replied.On the “Ebro Show,” he explained that work — despite both of them being global superstars — stays firmly outside the front door.“We don’t talk too much about work, because we deal with that all day, every day,” he said. “When you come home, it’s about family.”“It’s about your relationship. It’s about your household.
It ain’t about all that other s–t.”Still, the balance they’ve struck may soon face another shift. Earlier this month, Rihanna hinted she might be open to expanding their family again. The singer left a supportive comment on a post by Love Island alum Montana Brown, who was debating whether to “get hot and sexy or get pregnant in 2026.”“Wait! So I’m not crazy then? Bet!” Rihanna wrote.
