Rihanna is enjoying her time as a new mom.
The multi-hyphenate and her boyfriend, rapper A$AP Rocky, welcomed their first child together earlier this month, and, according to a source close to the pair, are adjusting to parenthood as they raise their baby in Los Angeles. The source told People that the "Umbrella" singer's infant son is healthy and that the star is "in awe of him."
"Rihanna barely leaves his side. She is a fantastic mom," the insider told the outlet. "She wanted to give birth in L.A. since she has a big house with a yard. She enjoys sitting outside with her baby."
The source added that the Fenty mogul seems happy to spend time with her son, saying that she "doesn't seem rushed to get back to work."
"Being a new parent is of course an adjustment, but they are doing great. Their baby boy is healthy and Rihanna is just in awe of him," they said. "She really was so excited to be pregnant. She loved it. Meeting her son was of course extremely special too."
Several outlets reported that the "We Found Love" singer gave birth on May 13, with a source previously telling People that the new mom was doing well. In an April interview, she said that she was looking forward to seeing the world through her child's eyes.
"They're going to teach me more than I could ever teach them. And I want them to go for it. I want to see who they are in the world, who they become," she said. "Because I'm just here to keep them on the rails—a passenger as much as the driver."
