It seems like Rihanna sparks engagement rumors at least once every few months. The “Diamonds” singer loves her, well, diamonds, and she’s not afraid to flaunt them. Yesterday, Rihanna turned heads in NYC when she sported a massive fur hat to beat the cold, adding a sparkler to her left ring finger that made fans wonder once more: Is Rihanna engaged?

The post-Christmas blues haven’t affected Rihanna, who’s spent the past several days shopping and socializing around NYC. The Fenty Beauty founder doesn’t currently reside in the Big Apple. (She sold her $30 million penthouse in Manhattan.) But Rihanna loves the city and spends much of her time there for performances and business dealings.

Rihanna’s street style never disappoints even when she’s simply stopping by Target like she did Sunday night. The 36-year-old wore a suede and leather bomber jacket, a tee shirt honoring Tupac Shakur, two-tone jeans, and Bottega Veneta boots. She accessorized with several chain necklaces, a fluffy fur hat, and a gray fur handbag. Although Rihanna’s headwear should’ve been center stage, her massive sparkler caught our eyes.

Over the last few days, Rihanna hasn’t hesitated to show off a brand-new diamond ring. The unique piece involves over a dozen many-carat diamonds arranged into a spiky shape resembling a lotus flower. The silver band indicates that the setting is likely white gold or platinum while the size tells us this diamond ring is worth hundreds of thousands at least.

Did A$AP Rocky finally pop the question this Christmas? Nearly 45% of couples get engaged between Thanksgiving and Valentine’s Day. December serves as the most popular engagement month of the year (19% of all proposals, according to The Knot Real Weddings Study). We could see A$AP Rocky and Rihanna beside the Christmas tree, celebrating with their sons, 2-year-old RZA Athelston and 1-year-old Riot Rose.

A$AP Rocky Publicly Kissed Rihanna Years Before They Started Dating

Eagle-eyed fans first publicly linked Rihanna and A$AP Rocky in November 2020 when the pair ate out at NYC’s Beatrice Inn. Friends since 2012 when A$AP Rocky opened for Rihanna’s Diamonds World Tour, the Barbadian singer and American-Barbadian rapper stepped out together more often in early 2021. A$AP Rocky confirmed the relationship during a GQ interview in May 2021.

By January 2022, the couple announced their first pregnancy, resulting in RZA. On February 12, 2023, during her Super Bowl LVII halftime show performance, Rihanna revealed she was pregnant with her second child, Riot. Despite her recent bling, neither star has announced their engagement, instead referring to each other as their “partner.” Fans can keep their fingers crossed for now.
