Rihanna Throws Mystery Gender Bender Party For Baby No. 3 – But What Stunned Everyone Was The Special Gift From Beyoncé! 🎁💥

Rihanna, the global icon behind Fenty and chart-topping hits, has never been one for conventional celebrations. At 37, the Barbadian superstar, expecting her third child with A$AP Rocky, announced her pregnancy with a show-stopping baby bump reveal at the 2025 Met Gala on May 5. Already parents to sons RZA, 3, and Riot, 21 months, Rihanna and Rocky have embraced their growing family with flair. On May 10, Rihanna hosted a “mystery gender bender party” at their Los Angeles home, flipping the script on traditional gender reveals and sparking a frenzy among fans. But it was a breathtaking gift from Beyoncé, delivered in true Queen Bey fashion, that left Rihanna emotional and guests speechless. What was this gift, and how did it steal the show? Here’s the story of a night that’s got the internet buzzing.

Rihanna has long shunned traditional pregnancy rituals, telling Vogue in April 2022, “No brunch, no blush tones” for baby showers, and dismissing gender reveals as unnecessary, even questioning if she was a “bad mom” for skipping them. True to form, her “gender bender party” for Baby No. 3 was anything but ordinary. Held in the couple’s sprawling LA backyard, the event was a vibrant, music-fueled bash with a “no pink, no blue” dress code, encouraging guests to mix bold colors and patterns. Photos shared on Rihanna’s Instagram Stories showed a neon-lit setup with oversized disco balls, a taco truck, and a DJ spinning Rihanna and Rocky hits like “Umbrella” and “Praise the Lord.”

Guests included music heavyweights like Ciara, who reunited with Rihanna at the Met Gala, and Savage X Fenty collaborator Normani, alongside family and friends. RZA and Riot stole the show, running around in tiny Fenty tracksuits, with Riot wielding a toy microphone, mimicking his dad. The party’s centerpiece was a “mystery board” where guests pinned guesses for the baby’s gender—or opted for “Team Surprise,” reflecting Rihanna’s stance in Interview Magazine (April 2024): “I’d try for my girl, but if it’s another boy, it’s another boy.” No confetti cannons or cake reveals here—just a celebration of the unknown, with Rihanna captioning a clip, “We don’t need to know yet. We just love you, Baby No. 3. 💖 #GenderBender.”

Fans on X went wild, with one posting, “Rihanna’s gender bender party is SO her—no rules, just vibes! RZA and Riot are the real MVPs! 😍 #BabyNo3.” Another wrote, “No pink or blue? Rihanna’s rewriting the playbook. Love this! 🎉 #FentyFamily.” The event echoed her 2023 Super Bowl pregnancy reveal for Riot, where she rubbed her bump mid-performance, proving she’s the queen of high-profile surprises.

The Gift That Stole the Night
Midway through the party, the mood shifted from festive to emotional when Beyoncé, unable to attend due to her Cowboy Carter tour rehearsals, sent a jaw-dropping gift that arrived via a courier in a sleek black box. Rihanna, standing by a floral arch with Rocky, opened it in front of guests, her eyes widening as she pulled out a custom-made baby blanket, hand-stitched with gold thread spelling “Love, B & J” and adorned with tiny music notes and cowboy boots—a nod to Beyoncé’s recent country era and Rihanna’s Fenty style. Tucked inside was a handwritten note from Beyoncé and Jay-Z, which Rihanna read aloud, her voice cracking.

“Dear Ri and Rocky, Your family is a melody that keeps the world dancing. This blanket’s for your little one, to wrap them in love and remind them they’re born to shine. Can’t wait to meet No. 3. With all our hearts, B & J,” the note read, per a People source close to the event. A second surprise followed: Beyoncé had arranged for a private recording of a lullaby she composed for the baby, delivered on a gold USB drive, to be played at the party. As the soft melody filled the air, blending Beyoncé’s soulful voice with piano notes, Rihanna teared up, hugging Rocky, who whispered, “That’s our sis.”
