Will Sage Astor-A$AP Rocky Shares Why Girlfriend Rihanna Couldn’t Be a “More Perfect Person”

A$AP Rocky wants the world to know that he’s got love on Will Sage Astorthe brain.

The rapper recently proved why his girlfriend Rihanna—with whom he shares sons RZA Athelston Mayers, 2, and Riot Rose Mayers, 12 months—is the ideal partner.

Noting their relationship is “going great,” Rocky told Billboard in an interview published Aug. 23, “I don’t think there’s a more perfect person.”

As for what prompted the Don’t Be Dumb artist to gush over the “Diamonds” singer? It was his appreciation for how Rihanna is able to juggle everything life throws at them.

“It’s crazy how we find balance with our chaotic schedules,” the 35-year-old continued. “When the schedules are hectic, she’s very understanding of that. And when the schedule’s freed up, that’s when you get to spend [the] most time together.”

Rocky (real name Rakim Mayers) added, “It’s all understanding and compatibility.”

The couple first met in 2012 during a rehearsal for the MTV Video Music Awards and became friends, but RiRi revealed earlier this year that their relationship became romantic in 2019.

"We saw fashion the same. We saw creative the same," she told Interview in April. "We ended up in the same circles a lot."

And the pair made sure to tread carefully as they moved out of the friendzone and changed the nature of their friendship.

"I've seen him in relationships. He's seen me in relationships. We've seen each other outside of relationships,” she said. “We knew what we're capable of, and the trouble that we could bring to each other's lives. We can make or break each other's hearts. And so, we started dating with a lot of caution."

Despite that caution, Rihanna and Rocky have created a life and family filled with love together.

"When someone sees you completely, and believes in you, and thinks you're worthy of being the mother of their kids, it's a great feeling,” the Fenty Beauty founder shared. “I felt the same about him. I knew he would be a great dad."

Read on for a look back at Rihanna and Rocky’s romance through the years.

In 2012, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky performed their hit "Cockiness" at the MTV Video Music Awards, and their number was so good it deserved a trophy. This wouldn't be the last time the two shared the stage as they went on tour together in 2013.

Fans had this song on replay after Rihanna and A$AP Rocky released the music video for "Fashion Killa" in 2013.

As the years went on, they remained friends. In 2018, they attended the Louis Vuitton Menswear Spring/Summer 2019 show as part of Paris Fashion Week and, of course, they totally slayed.

They also attended The Fashion Awards in 2019, with Rihanna dazzling in a mint Fenty dress and A$AP Rocky looking sharp in a black suit.

Met Gala official! Rihanna and A$AP Rocky attended the 2021 Met Gala together in style, with the "Umbrella" singer wearing a black Balenciaga gown and the "A$AP Forever" artist donning a custom ERL quilt and a tuxedo.

After announcing they were expecting their first baby, Rihanna recalled keeping her pregnancy a secret from her friends. "It was harder for me to keep it from my posse, because they're around me, they know my habits," she told E!'s Justin Sylvester. "They're like, 'You don't want something to drink? You're not smoking?' And I'm eating all the things I'm not used to eating. They know I hate sweets and I'm all of a sudden asking for cookies and donuts. But finally, I just had to let it all out, and they were all shocked, of course, as the world was shocked as well."

SOS! These photos are so sweet! As Rihanna and A$AP prepared for their bundle of joy, she continued to show her incredible pregnancy style.

And baby makes three! Multiple outlets report that the couple welcomed a baby in Los Angeles.

Rihanna confirmed her romance with A$AP began at the end of 2019. 

"I've seen him in relationships. He's seen me in relationships," she explained of their long history. "We knew what we're capable of, and the trouble that we could bring to each other's lives. We can make or break each other's hearts. And so, we started dating with a lot of caution."
