What was predicted and confirmed by Rihanna was that the baby’s name would start with an R, keeping in line with the family tradition. In an interview with ELLE published the day before the Tuesday announcement, Rocky—real name Rakim Athelston Mayers—gushed over the joys of being a family man and “loving them.”
This is the same interview where the rapper renewed speculation of a secret marriage. When asked if he was hearing any wedding bells in the near future, Rocky laughed and teased, “How do you know I’m not already a husband?”
