Barbadian singer and business mogul Rihanna confirmed to British Vogue that she wants to have kids sometime soon.
The Grammy award-winner who has been the subject of pregnancy rumours in the past, revealed that her future definitely includes children. Rihanna says she wants “three or four” kids by the time she’s 42—and with or without a partner.
“I feel like society makes me want to feel like, ‘Oh, you got it wrong…’ They diminish you as a mother if there’s not a dad in your kids’ lives,” she told the magazine.
“But the only thing that matters is happiness, that’s the only healthy relationship between a parent and a child. That’s the only thing that can raise a child truly, is love.”
Not long ago, Rihanna ended a three-year relationship with ex-boyfriend Hassan Jameel and sources on the inside say she is currently single and focusing on work.
Fenty music
Then, concerning the subject of her music, which fans have been dying to know about, she told British Vogue, “I can’t say when I’m going to drop. But I am very aggressively working on music.”
As for the style of her eventual tracks, the 9-time Grammy winner won’t be boxed into one category.
“I don’t want my albums to feel like themes,” she told the magazine. “There are no rules. There’s no format. There’s just good music, and if I feel it, I’m putting it out.”
As for that reggae album she confirmed she was working on, don’t worry—”Oh no, that is happening,” Rihanna echoed to British Vogue. But, it sounds like that’s not the only style at play.
“I feel like I have no boundaries. I’ve done everything. I’ve done all the hits, I’ve tried every genre. Now I’m just, I’m wide open. I can make anything that I want.”
While the 32-year-old focuses on all things career right now, Rihanna explained to the magazine, “I’m working like this now so that I don’t have to in the future.”
