Rihanna showed off her growing baby bump as she carried her son while grabbing a bite to eat in Santa Monica’s Giorgio Baldi on Saturday.
The 35-year-old singer was glowing as she stepped out of the popular eatery with her bare stomach on show and gripped her toddler in her arms.
Looking glamorous as ever, the expectant mum-of-one wore a crop top and a pair of flared blue jeans as she headed out to dinner and kept the cold away in an extravagant silk kimono that hit the floor as she walked.
The outerlayer featured a pattern of dollar bills and her ensemble was completed with a pair of pointed-toe heels and braided ponytails that hung down past her shoulders.
Matching her little one, the star’s son RZA – who she shares with her partner ASAP Rocky, 34 – was dressed in a double denim outfit of jeans and a jacket in the same colour.
As she launched herself into mum life, the Diamonds hitmaker opened up to British Vogue earlier this year and told the magazine what it was really like becoming a parent for the first time.

She said: ‘It’s everything, you really don’t remember life before, that’s the craziest thing ever.
‘You literally try to remember it – and there are photos of my life before – but the feeling, the desires, the things that you enjoy, everything, you just don’t identify with it because you don’t even allow yourself mentally to get that far, because…Because it doesn’t matter.’
The star continued, sharing her disbelief at the general concept of birthing another human: ‘Essentially, from one person I became two. You walk into the hospital as a couple and leave as a family of three. It’s nuts.

‘And oh, my gosh, those first days are insane. You don’t sleep. At all. Not even if you wanted to.
‘We came home, cold turkey, had no one. It was just us as parents and our baby. Man, you’re a zombie for the most part.’
Rihanna is expecting her second child with the rapper and announced the happy news during her halftime show at this year’s Superbowl back in February.
She said of the star’s relationship with his son: ‘Their connection is undeniable.

‘The second Rocky makes eye contact with him he is on fire. The whole thing they say about sons and moms, it’s a myth.
‘Sons and fathers is crazy. I realized that the validation that you really need as a boy is from your father.’
