“You literally try to remember it — and there are photos of my life before — but the feeling, the desires, the things that you enjoy, everything, you just don’t identify with it because you don’t even allow yourself mentally to get that far,” she toldVogueat the time. “Because it doesn’t matter.”
A source told PEOPLE at the time that “Rihanna feels her family is now complete” and “it’s something she’s always wanted.”
“She loves being a mom, so this is where her mind is at the moment,” the source explained.

Rocky hasn’t been left out, however. Rihanna has publicly shown her love for her partner and praised him as a father.
In an interview withHarper’s Bazaarpublished in February, the singer said that the “greatest thing” about the rapper “isseeing him be a dad.”
“I’m annoyed because my sons sometimes just live for [their dad] more than they live for me,” she toldHarper’s Bazaar. “And I’m like, ‘Did you know who cooked you? Do you know who pushed you out?’ And they love him, but when I see it, oh, it’s the best."
