Rihanna loves gushing about her man.

In a sweeping interview with Harper’s Bazaar published on Saturday, February 22, the singer and entrepreneur admitted that the “greatest thing” about her partner A$AP Rocky is “is seeing him be a dad.”

The duo, who finally connected romantically in 2019 after years of friendship, go way back. The family of four lives in New York City — something they both appreciate.
