Rihanna Reveals Baby Bump at Super Bowl Halftime Show

Furthermore, her top-tier performance at the Super Bowl Halftime is a blast. The 34-year-old singer appeared clad in a bright red suit. She left it unzipped until the midpart revealed her baby bump.
In addition, she subtly revealed the pregnancy news while performing. Rihanna is rubbing her stomach on top of her unzipped outfit. It is a jumpsuit over a tight-fitting body suit layered with a bandeau on top.
She performed some of her top hits at the Super Bowl championship between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs. It was held at the State Farm Arena in Arizona where the Chiefs held victory.

The Fenty owner sang and dance to her hits “Where Have You Been,” “Diamonds,” “We Found Love,” and “Work.” Although her performance seems effortless, she shared that it was tough tailoring her 18-year catalog into 13 minutes.
She said, “The setlist was the biggest challenge. That was the hardest part — deciding how to maximize 13 minutes, but also celebrate. That’s what the show’s going to be — it’s going to be a celebration of my catalog in the best way.”
Moreover, her beau and Grammy winner, A$AP Rocky was on the sidelines watching her during the halftime performance. He was dancing along and recording her entire performance.

In lieu of her subtle baby reveal, a source confirmed PEOPLE the pregnancy news on Sunday night. The source also shared that the couple was over the moon that another baby is on the way.
The source said, “Everything Rihanna does, she does it her own way on her own timetable, and having a baby is no different.”
“They’re just like any other pair of parents-to-be. Yes, they happen to be famous, but they’re just the cutest, giddiest young couple that’s expecting kids.”
Furthermore, the pop superstar said that she wasn’t sure at first about performing at the Super Bowl. But motherhood motivated her to headline for the big game.

She said in an interview before the halftime show, “I was like, ‘You sure? I’m three months postpartum. Should I be making major decisions like this right now? I might regret this.’”
Rihanna added, “When you become a mom, there’s something that just happens where you feel like you could take on the world — you can do anything.”
“And the Super Bowl is one of the biggest stages in the world, so as scary as that was … there’s something exhilarating about the challenge of it all. It’s important for my son to see that.”
