Rihanna became the heroine of the cover of the new issue of Interview magazine, where she appeared as a nun and gave an interview to her former stylist Mel Ottenberg. The singer talked about raising her children, her relationship with A$AP Rocky and her plans for plastic surgery.
For the spring issue of the glossy, the singer poses for fashion photographer Nadia Lee Cohen, who is known for her collaborations with Miu Miu, A$AP Rocky and Kim Kardashian. The star tried on clothes from Dior, Bottega Veneta, Loewe, Loro Piana and Savage x Fenty for the shoot.
The singer, who is an icon of good style for many, admits that she does not always think about her outfits in advance. First of all, she cares about comfort and calls herself a lazy mom when it comes to choosing clothes. "I spend a lot of time dressing my children and then I think, 'Which clothes will be the most comfortable to wear around them?'. What won't cause discomfort and won't be difficult for me to hold?"
In the family of Rihanna and A$AP Rocky, the rapper is more concerned about his own appearance, motivating his beloved to always look good. "Next to this man, I feel like a bum. I feel like, 'Shit, I look like his assistant.' I get on a plane. We're supposed to be in tank tops. And he wants to be in a full Bottega Veneta suit. And I'm like, "Why are you doing this to me?"
The singer admitted that she carries her youngest son's diapers in a luxury mini Saint Laurent bag, and noted that the rapper is one of those dads who don't mind changing their child at any time. "Rocky's never bothered about it. He puts a shirt over his nose and deals with the smelly diaper. It's even funny."
Rihanna recalled the beginning of her relationship with A$AP Rocky, which began in late 2019, and revealed why they didn't start dating sooner, as rumors of their romance have been swirling since 2012. "We saw the fashion the same way. We saw creativity the same way. We very often found ourselves in the same circles. And then, as we grew up, we started to support each other's creativity all the time. I wore his stuff, he appeared at my presentations. But only at the end of 2019 ... [it all started]".
The 36-year-old star noted that she and the rapper have known each other for a long time and have seen each other at different times in their lives and in relationships with other people. Only gradually did they realize that they were ready to be together. "We knew what we were capable of and what kind of trouble we could get each other. So we started dating very cautiously. I just let whatever was going to happen happen. Just: 'It's a flower. It will either die or flourish. But I'll let him decide for himself."
"I let God guide me and I just relaxed. Because in my previous relationships I've tried and tried and tried to do everything I could and it still doesn't feel like enough. So when someone sees you completely, believes in you and thinks you're worthy of being the mother of his children, that's a great feeling. I felt the same way about him. I knew he would be a great father."
The singer does not hide that the couple's relationship has been positively affected during the pandemic. It was then that they were able to get closer and realize that they are ready to start a family. "If it wasn't for covid, it would have taken us a lot longer to feel comfortable with each other, to realize that we are ready to be parents."
When asked about her fears, Rihanna says that her biggest concern after having her children is their well-being and that she is "allergic" to betrayal. "Nobody warns you that once you have kids, you're going to worry every second of your life. Do they? And betrayals are scary because disappointment is one of those emotions that I don't handle well. I think I'm just allergic to these things"./BGNES
