ASAP Rocky praises Rihanna during glamorous Met Gala appearance

• ASAP Rocky and Rihanna made a striking joint appearance at the 2026 Met Gala.
• The rapper praised his partner’s golden ensemble, comparing her to a "shining diamond."
• Rocky’s pink attire served as a sentimental nod to their daughter, born last year.
  

ASAP Rocky had nothing but praise for Rihanna as the couple walked the 2026 Met Gala hand in hand on Monday. The "Diamonds" hitmaker attended the annual fundraising fashion event held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art steps, donning a golden gown by Maison Margiela, and Rocky could not stop gushing over his longtime partner.

While speaking about the theme of the event, "Costume Art," Rocky gushed that the mother of his kids is the "art and the artist," in a video posted by Variety on X. Elsewhere in the video, Rocky, who was sporting a pink coat over a white shirt and black bow, praised Rihanna as "shining like a diamond."

The 37-year-old rapper further reflected on being loved by a black woman, noting, "it feels amazing." He added: "Nothing else compares."

Rocky's pink coat at the gala appeared to be a nod to his and Rihanna's daughter, as the little bundle of joy, named Rocki Irish Mayers, was born back in September 2025. The couple are also parents to sons RZA, born in 2022, and Riot, born in 2023.

This measure of public affection comes as the pair continues to balance high-profile careers with their growing family. For those unversed, Rihanna and Rocky were first romantically linked at the end of 2019 and officially began dating in November 2020.

They are currently expected to collaborate on several upcoming creative projects within the fashion and music industries later this year.
