Love was in the air as Rihanna celebrated her 38th birthday in the sweetest way possible. The global superstar was treated to a heartfelt surprise dinner by her longtime partner A$AP Rocky, who organized an intimate celebration at a cozy Italian restaurant in Santa Monica. The birthday celebration, which was filled with close friends, festive décor, and many fashionable moments, showcased not just Rihanna's signature style but also the strong relationship the couple share as parents and lovers.
Celebration in Santa Monica: A Stylish Surprise
On Friday, 20th February, Rihanna, the worldwide star and fashion mogul, turned 38. Her partner, renowned rapper A$AP Rocky (Rakim Mayers), went above and beyond to make the occasion one to remember. Close friends and family came together for a private celebration at Giorgio Baldi, a well-known Italian restaurant in Santa Monica, California, for the intimate surprise birthday dinner.
As she arrived, Rihanna stunned in a semi-sheer black dress that beautifully complemented her figure, paired with matching black open-toe heels and a luxurious faux fur jacket to keep the evening cool and chic. Rocky kept things easy yet classy by pairing a red and white checkered shirt with tan pants and sunglasses.

The private room was festively decorated with silver "Happy Birthday" balloons, vibrant colorful balloons floating overhead, baby-blue tablecloths, and fresh floral centerpieces, creating an atmosphere that was both celebratory and cozy.
A Loving Partnership: Timeline and Family Life
After years of friendship and cooperation, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky became one of the most admired couples in pop culture when they began dating in 2020. They have developed their relationship into a full-fledged family life over the past few years, welcoming three children together: their daughter Rocki, who was born three months after Rihanna announced her pregnancy at the 2025 Met Gala, and sons RZA (3) and Riot (2).

While Rocky has cheekily avoided directly confirming whether they are legally married—once joking during a podcast that "you want Rihanna, huh? Well, you got me!"—the duo frequently refers to each other as husband and wife in public, revealing the depth and commitment of their connection. Rocky has publicly discussed the joy of family life and the musical atmosphere in which they raise their kids, sharing everything from classic Motown to reggae at home, despite his fun sidestepping of the marriage question.
The couple's commitment to blending parenthood with their creative and public lives continues to strengthen their already solid bond.
