The rapper, 36, referred to himself as a “loving husband” in a new interview with The Perfect Magazine while discussing his home life with the “Diamonds” singer, 37, and their three kids, RZA, 3, Riot, 2, and 1-month-old Rocki.

“Being a father and a partner and a loving husband in my family is what makes me really, really happy,” he told the outlet in an article published on Wednesday, Oct. 29.

 

“I hope this doesn’t sound cliché, and I would hate if it does, because that’s what honestly does get me going: being able to express myself creatively, being able to be a family man and being able to be an artisan,” he continued. “It doesn’t matter what hat I wear that day, it’s just about being able to give it my all and do these things.”

The “Praise the  Lord” musician previously played coy about whether he and Rihanna have taken the next step forward in their relationship. He appeared to dodge the question while chatting with Elle in an interview last month about what he looks forward to once he becomes a husband.

“How you know I’m not already a husband?,” Rocky replied to the outlet. He then laughed and said, “I’m still not gonna confirm it.”

However, Rocky did share some insight into what his home life was like with Rihanna and how the pair made it work with three kids in the house.

“When you come home, it’s about family,” he told Elle. “It’s about your relationship. It’s about your household. It ain’t about all that other s—.”

PEOPLE confirmed in November 2020 that Rocky and Rihanna were dating. That December, the pair spent their first holiday season together in Rihanna’s native Barbados with her family. A source told PEOPLE at the time, “They’ve always seemed to have a great time together. They have a lot in common.”

The pair’s relationship continued to grow from there, and in a June/July 2021 cover story for GQ, Rocky called Rihanna the “love of my life” and “the one.”

He reflected on what it was like to be in a relationship, saying at the time that it was “so much better. So much better when you got ‘the one.’ [Rihanna] amounts to probably, like, a million of the other ones.”

“I think when you know, you know,” he added. “She’s the one.”

The couple went on to welcome two sons and a daughter in 2022, 2023 and 2025, respectively. The Grammy-winner opened up about how her relationship has evolved with Rocky since they became parents, telling Page Six in 2023 that it’s only strengthened their bond.

“I love him differently as a dad. It’s a turn on,” she told Page Six, adding that Rocky is a “great, patient, loving” father.
