AceShowbiz - A$AP Rocky recently opened up about his relationship with Rihanna in an interview with Billboard, gushing over the multi-talented singer and entrepreneur. The rapper, born Rakim Mayers, delved into the nuances of balancing their hectic schedules while raising their sons, RZA and Riot.
Rocky, 35, didn't hold back his praise, describing their relationship as "great" and emphasizing their ability to manage high-profile careers alongside parenthood. "It's crazy how we find balance with our chaotic schedules," he shared. "I don't think there's a more perfect person because when the schedules are hectic, she's very understanding of that." This mutual understanding is key to their successful relationship.
Despite their fame, the couple strives to maintain a sense of normalcy for their children. Rocky, who grew up in Harlem, is keen on providing a balanced upbringing. Speaking to Billboard, Rocky pushed back against any notion that their kids can't enjoy a regular childhood, highlighting a video of his son RZA playing in SoHo. "They still human. They human beings," he insisted.
The family's recent trips to Rihanna's home country of Barbados are testament to their efforts to create cherished family moments. Photographs from their trip captured them enjoying beach time and a playful sea excursion. This downtime is crucial for the couple, as they make it a priority to spend time together whenever their schedules allow. "When the schedule's freed up, that's when you get to spend the most time together. It's all understanding and compatibility," Rocky reiterated.
Rocky further praised Rihanna's parenting skills, which add another layer of strength to their relationship. Despite the occasional frustrations common to all parents - like having enough of the children's TV show "Cocomelon"" - the couple has nailed down co-parenting effectively. "She's tired of it, too, probably," Rocky quipped about their kids watching "Cocomelon" on repeats.
The couple, who were friends for nearly a decade before becoming romantically involved in 2020, have since become a powerful duo both personally and professionally. They welcomed their first child in 2022 and their second one in 2023.
Their strong foundation is evident, with Rocky summing up his feelings poignantly, "I don't think there's a more perfect person." As Rocky continues to balance his music career with family life, it's clear he sees Rihanna as an ideal partner, thanks to their mutual understanding and compatibility.
