DUBAI: Arab models Bella Hadid and Imaan Hammam on Monday congratulated parents-to-be Barbadian singer Rihanna and rapper A$AP Rocky after their announcement that they were expecting their first child together.
The couple took a stroll over the weekend in snowy New York to reveal the news.
Despite the cold weather, the 33-year-old “Diamonds” singer and fashion mogul showed off her bump in a long open pink coat and ripped jeans as her partner beamed by her side in Harlem, which is A$AP Rocky’s home neighborhood.
