A$AP Rocky has consistently expressed his deep love and admiration for Rihanna, calling her 'the love of my life' and describing fatherhood as something 'in my destiny.' His recent interview with Vogue further solidified his commitment to their family, eloquently describing his love for Rihanna as 'internal, external, infinite, the past, the future.' The birth of their daughter, Rocki Irish Mayers, is a testament to their enduring love and commitment to building a beautiful family together. The couple's fans eagerly anticipate seeing more glimpses into their life as a family of five.
