Rihanna is officially pregnant with her second child.

In case you're living under a rock, Rihanna performed at tonight's 2023 Super Bowl Halftime Show. After a long hiatus from music, Riri returned with a medley of her best hits and a pregnancy reveal.

On Twitter, fans were quick to point out that the "Diamonds" singer was showing off a noticeable belly bump, causing them to wonder if she is in fact pregnant. Following the performance, a representative from Rihanna's team confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that she is in fact pregnant with her second child.

A pregnancy reveal of this magnitude is not unusual for the singer, as she and her partner A$AP Rocky held a photoshoot in January 2022 in which she was seen in a long pink puffer jacket with only the top two buttons done so as to show off her growing bump. The couple welcomed her first child, a son, in May of last year.

While neither Rihanna nor A$AP has commented yet, fans have already taken to social media to lament over the dwindling likelihood that they we finally get a new Rihanna album after seven years.

As one fan wrote, "Me realizing Rihanna is pregnant again, and we’re never getting another album," over a video of a man crying.

Another user tweeted a photo of a woman squinting with the caption, "Everybody tryna see if Rihanna pregnant again."

While the "Umbrella" artist hasn't said how this pregnancy will affect any new music in the works, what we do know is that she gave a stellar performance tonight.

Clad in a red Loewe jumpsuit and bustier under a matching red Alaïa jacket, Rihanna opened the show with "Bitch Better Have My Money" as she danced on a floating stage. She eventually launched into hits spanning her entire discography, from "Umbrella" to "Work." 

All we can say is: if this is the last we'll be seeing of Rihanna for another seven years, at least it was fun while it lasted.
