RIHANNA ‘is set to raise her baby between Barbados and the US so child has the same culture and upbringing as her.’
The Barbados-born singer, 33, announced she is expecting her first child with boyfriend A$AP Rocky in a series of stunning baby bump pictures yesterday.
A source told The Sun: “Rihanna would love to raise the baby partly in Barbados as she wants child to have the same culture and upbringing as her.
“She’s an island girl at heart – she loves her heritage, and is so proud to represent Barbados.
“She wants her baby to experience the warmth of the people and the beautiful surroundings too. She has lots of family there too. That is so important to her, and to A$AP too.”
The Sun contacted Rihanna’s team for comment.
The Stay singer sparked pregnancy rumours when she appeared to have a “baby bump” while in Barbados last November.
She jetted to Barbados to be named a national hero of her home country.
The What’s My Name hitmaker sent the internet into meltdown when she wore a clingy orange halterneck dress to the inauguration ceremony.
