A$AP Rocky Says Being Rihanna’s ‘Loving Husband’ Is What Makes Him ‘Really, Really Happy’

A$AP Rocky once again has people wondering if he’s put a ring on it. In a new cover story interview with Perfect magazine, the rapper made a provocative claim about his longtime love Rihanna, with whom he shares three young children. When asked to describe the times when he’s felt the greatest satisfaction and happiness, Rocky, 37, said, “I think peace really makes me happy. Being a father and a partner and a loving husband in my family is what makes me really, really happy.”

Did you catch that “loving husband” bit?

The romantic comment came despite the couple never publicly confirming or denying their marital status. At press time spokespeople for both artists had not returned Billboard‘s request for comment.

“That’s what honestly does get me going: being able to express myself creatively, being able to be a family man and being able to be an artisan,” Rocky continued in the interview. “It doesn’t matter what hat I wear that day, it’s just about being able to give it my all and do these things,” he added, with the magazine noting that the original interview time had to be rescheduled because Rocky was busy preparing for one of his children’s birthday parties.

It’s not the first time Rocky has made it seem like the longtime couple might be more official than we thought. Speaking to Elle in September, he teased, “How you know I’m not already a husband?,” before again muddying the waters by adding “I’m still not gonna confirm it.” During a DJ set in Paris during the Cannes Lions festival in June, Rocky dedicated his 2022 song “D.M.B.” — also known as “DAT$ MAH B!*$H” — to his “’beautiful wife in the f—ing building. I love her.’” Again, no confirmation that the couple — who began dating in 2020 — have made it official, but the video for “D.M.B.” appears to end with Rocky and a red-veiled Rihanna getting married, with red flower petals showering the happy couple.

Despite an epic year in which he acted in Spike Lee’s Highest 2 Lowest and Mary Bronstein’s psychological drama If I Had Legs I’d Kick You, as well as prepping his fourth studio album, in a recent interview with Complex the rapper said his newborn daughter with Rih is his favorite project so far. After saying he’s done “a whole lot” this year, Rocky admitted, “My daughter. That’s my favorite thing I created this year. Shout out to Rocki Irish, man,” he said about the daughter the couple welcomed on Sept. 13. Rocki joined their other two children, three-year-old son RZA and two-year-old baby Riot Rose.
