“She came into rehearsals with big fur coats or Fenty sets all the time, like the big sweatshirt ones,” she continues. “So I was surprised too.”
Rihanna played up the big reveal in the opening moments of her performance, rubbing her stomach and leaving the zipper of her outfit — a jumpsuit layered over a close-fitting bodysuit and sculpted bandeau — down to show her belly.
The singer, who is expecting again with rapperA$AP Rocky, hadhinted at her big surprisebefore she took the stage at Super Bowl.
Speaking toCBS Sports, Rihanna said she was “thinking about bringing someone” out during her halftime performance. However, the “Needed Me” singer managed to sidetrack everyone, giving the assumption she was talking about a surprise musical guest.
“I’m not sure. We’ll see,” she teased while speaking with the outlet.
She also joked that “it wouldn’t be a surprise” if she spoiled who she was considering sharing the stage with on Sunday.
The Grammy winner and Rocky welcomed their first child, a son, in May 2022.
