Riot Rose, the 3-year-old son of Rihanna and A$AP Rocky (both 38), has made his magazine cover debut, appearing on six different covers of Arena Homme+. On one cover, Rihanna wears the red Loewe jumpsuit from her 2023 Super Bowl pregnancy reveal and holds her son by his arms. He is dressed in an all-black suit and dress shoes.
Rihanna shared all six covers in an Instagram post celebrating the milestone. "RIOT ROSE. Arena Homme+ Issue 66 @thehommeplusmag," she captioned the post.
Rocky first hinted at his son's modeling job in September during an interview with The Cut.
"One of my sons has a modeling gig in like three days, you know, the day before my birthday, and it's—I'm so proud of him," the proud dad told the outlet. "This is his first magazine cover, so I think it's just fascinating to see these little people grow into personalities of their own."
"It's trippy, just in retrospect, thinking back when they were just so small and little," Rocky continued. "I mean, they're still relatively little and small, but you know, they kind of speak up for themselves and have their own kind of swag and s--t. It's crazy."

The rapper also reflected on bringing Riot onstage at a recent show in Copenhagen, Denmark, in a new Rolling Stone interview published Friday, Oct. 16. "He's a cutie, man. That's my boy, there. That's little Spider-Man," he said of Riot.
At Rocky's Sept. 18 concert at the Royal Arena in Copenhagen, part of his Don't Be Dumb World Tour, he was joined by Rihanna and their second-born son. Fan footage shows Rocky dedicating a song to "my son and my family" while holding Riot in one hand and a loudspeaker in the other. At times, he encouraged the toddler to rap along before the video cut to Rihanna, who sang enthusiastically while holding Riot.
"He's very ready for all of these things," A$AP Rocky told Rolling Stone. "He's the extrovert out of all of his siblings. And I think he has the strongest personality."
The rapper continued. "So, for him, he's just very curious. He's asking me if I sing. He's asking A$AP Twelvyy if he do music, too."

Rocky also said he is looking forward to the day his children fully grasp their mother's global stardom.
"So, it was really cool to have him up there, but the funniest thing that's just going through my mind is like, yeah, you know, it's my time to do my arenas, you know, eight-year hiatus. I'm back. This is their first time seeing their dad on stages. But I'm like, wait till they get a load of mom, wait till they even realize who their mother is. It's just gonna be f--king jokes," he said.
Rocky, whose real name is Rakim Athelston Mayers, and Rihanna also share son RZA, 4, and daughter Rocki, 14 months.
