Rihanna says she's going to be 'psycho' as a mom: 'You talk about my kids, it's over'

• Rihanna recently spoke to Elle about pregnancy and motherhood.
• She said "everything is a challenge" in her third trimester, especially feeling "like a real person."

Rihanna recently opened up about pregnancy and impending motherhood during an interview with Elle.

The Grammy-winning singer, who is expecting her first child with rapper A$AP Rocky, even revealed what kind of parent she hopes to become.

Asked about her well-documented love of Bravo TV, Rihanna named Heather Dubrow from "The Real Housewives of Orange County" and Teresa Giudice from "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" as inspiring mom figures.

"Heather Dubrow is so chic while being a mom. Just love the way that she just allows her kids to be who they are. And that's really inspiring to me," she said. "But Teresa from Jersey does not play about her kids."

"She will flatten you about those kids," Rihanna continued. "And that resonates with me a lot because I feel like that's the type of mom I'm going to be. Psycho about it."

When the interviewer suggested that she might "flip a table," as Giudice did in season one, Rihanna replied: "Worse. You talk about my kids, it's over."

The Fenty Beauty founder also revealed that "everything is a challenge" during her third trimester.

"There's a pregnancy glow. There's also those days, girl," she said. "Especially in the third trimester where you wake up and you're like, oh, do I have to get dressed? Makeup for sure helps you feel like a real person."

Rihanna said her face has gotten "a little round and chubby" and her nose has begun to "spread," which is actually a common symptom of pregnancy.

"Everything is a challenge, from getting dressed and how you're going to do your makeup," she continued. "But I like challenges. I like things that force me to be creative and create in new ways."

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky became romantically linked in November 2020 and revealed her pregnancy with a photo shoot in January. Following the announcement, Rihanna has attended multiple events with her belly bared and gushed about maternity fashion.

"I'm enjoying it," she told People. "I'm enjoying not having to worry about covering up my tummy. If I feel a little chubby, it's like, whatever! It's a baby!"
