Excited fans flocked to social media to express their joy, with one writing: "This girl makes this sht look too easy. It’s feminine but pushing boundaries, once again. She took something old and put the modernity into it and the timing of her pregnancy is chef's kiss. Why? This defies traditional femininity norms."

Another penned: "This is the moment we've all been waiting for. Rihanna - and a special guest".

A third wrote: "Rihanna about to become the mother of 3 kids, Music, Fashion & Beauty mogul, raised an entire generation, 8 albums, ceo & founder of billion dollar brands. A self made superstar at it. They tried to STOP her bag & the universe said not on my watch. Beyond happy for her."

Meanwhile, many more joked that it meant another delay on new music, with one quipping: "Rihanna please stop getting pregnant, we want new music!"
