Rihanna and A$AP Rocky are turning up the love and the lullabies as they prepare to welcome baby number three. The power couple, already proud parents to sons RZA Athelston, 3, and Riot Rose, nearly 2, are soaking in every moment of this next chapter as their family continues to grow.

A source who spoke exclusively with PEOPLE said, "Rihanna and Rocky couldn't be more thrilled to be growing their family again with baby number three." And from the sound of it, their bond is only getting stronger with each new milestone.

Rocky, the MVP Dad

While Rihanna, 37, navigates her third pregnancy with grace and a glow that only she could serve, A$AP Rocky, 36, is stepping up in every way. "He's been incredibly attentive and nurturing throughout this pregnancy," the source shared.

Rocky's not just being a supportive partner; he's in full-on Superdad mode. From diaper duty to bedtime stories, he's right in the thick of parenting life. "He's so hands-on with RZA and Riot, changing diapers, doing bedtime routines, and keeping them entertained so Rihanna can rest," the insider said.

But his love language goes far beyond bath time and bedtime. He's also spoiling Rihanna in the sweetest ways. "He's always thinking of ways to show up for Rihanna," the source added. "Whether it's bringing her late-night cravings, running her baths, massaging her feet, or just making sure she doesn't have to lift a finger around the house—he's all in."

A Love That Keeps Growing

What makes this pregnancy feel even more special is the growth they've experienced together. "This pregnancy feels especially meaningful because they've grown so much together as partners and parents," said the insider.

It's clear their foundation is rock solid and fun. "Rocky is Rihanna's biggest cheerleader. He always makes her laugh and keeps things light and full of love," the source said. "They both prioritize their family time above everything. It's clear this is what matters most to them."

Despite their busy schedules and the whirlwind of raising two young kids with another on the way, the couple continues to focus on the joy and deep connection they've cultivated.

Building the Family They've Always Dreamed Of

Rihanna has never been shy about her dreams of a big family, and she's making that dream a reality on her terms. "She couldn't be more excited," the source previously told PEOPLE. "They wanted to have their children close together in age so they could grow up together and share a close bond."
