The singer and business mogul debuted her baby bump with boyfriend A$AP Rocky in New York City in late January. The two were rumored to get together in 2013, but they confirmed their relationship in 2020. Rihanna has still been busy with work as she enjoys her pregnancy. In a recent Ulta Beauty visit where she promoted her Fenty Beauty line, she opened up about how difficult the pregnancy has been recently.

Rihanna Says "Everything Is A Challenge" in the Third Trimester of Pregnancy

All moms know how tough things can get toward the end of a pregnancy. Rihanna is experiencing that firsthand. When asked about her pregnancy glow, she said every day can be a bit different. Sometimes she feels great, sometimes she just wants to stay in bed.

"There's a pregnancy glow. There's also those days, girl," she shared. "Especially in the third trimester where you wake up and you're like, oh, do I have to get dressed? Makeup for sure helps you feel like a real person."

At a time when her body is changing rapidly, Rihanna focuses "a lot on moisturizing and contouring" because her "face gets a little round and chubby" and "the nose starts to spread." All part of the pregnancy charm!

"Everything is a challenge, from getting dressed and how you're going to do your makeup," she continued. "But I like challenges. I like things that force me to be creative and create in new ways. And with beauty, there's so much that you can do."

She said the best piece of advice she's gotten so far is to sleep now because she won't have the chance later. "I need to work on that before it's a thing of the past," she admitted.
