Rihanna says she was worried about being a 'bad mom' because she doesn't want a gender-reveal party

• Rihanna opened up about her pregnancy during a recent interview with Vogue.
• She said she doesn't want a traditional baby shower or a gender-reveal party.

Despite her progressive approach to maternity style, Rihanna said she was worried about her stance on one particular pregnancy norm.

In a new cover story for Vogue's May 2022 issue, the "Anti" singer revealed that she has no interest in throwing a gender-reveal party.

"I asked my doctor: Is something wrong with me for not wanting this? Because people keep asking me," she said. "Am I a bad mom? When we're ready to tell the world, we'll just tell them."

She also said she doesn't want a traditional baby shower and would rather have a rowdy party.

"No brunch, no blush tones. And no animal-shaped nothing," the 34-year-old star told Vogue. "I mean it's lit for a lot of people — I've even planned a couple of baby showers like that myself — it's just not right for me."

"Personally, I want a party. I want everyone to be plastered and crawling out," she continued. "And it's got to be co-ed! Don't put me on no wicker chair somewhere with gifts at my feet where everyone is staring at me."

Rihanna is expecting her first child with her partner, 33-year-old rapper A$AP Rocky. They began dating seriously in 2020 after nearly a decade of friendship.

Rihanna said they weren't necessarily planning to start a family, but "certainly not planning against it."

"I don't know when I ovulate or any of that type of shit. We just had fun," she explained. "And then it was just there on the test. I didn't waste any time. I called him inside and showed him. Then I was in the doctor's office the next morning and our journey began."

Although she told Vogue she hasn't bought any baby clothes yet, she hopes her future child will share her interest in fashion.

"That is the day that I will have a problem, if my child don't like fashion," she said.
