A$AP Rocky Reveals His and Rihanna's Holiday Plans With 3 Kids

A$AP Rocky and Rihanna may be two of the most famous people on the planet, but when it comes to the holidays, the rapper says their plans are refreshingly simple.

Rocky opened up about how he, Rihanna and their three kids spend the season in an exclusive interview with E! News on Thursday, Oct. 29, at the WSJ. Magazine Innovator Awards. And according to him, there is no elaborate family ritual behind it.

"Typically, we probably just go on vacation with each other," the 38-year-old told E!.

"Togetherness" is the tradition

Asked what matters most when the family plans its holidays, Rocky kept it to one word.

"Togetherness. That's what we're all about," he said, adding that it doesn't really matter where they end up, "as long as we're together."

For a couple that could celebrate anywhere in the world, that answer says a lot. There's no set destination and no big production. Rocky's version of the holidays is just Rihanna, their sons RZA, 4, and Riot, 3, and their 13-month-old daughter, Rocki, in the same place at the same time.

He called home in the middle of the event

Rocky made it clear his family was on his mind even while he was out working the room. He was at the awards as a presenter, but he had just checked in with home before stopping to talk.

"I just hung up with them," he said. "Baby girl is getting her bottle right now."

Rocki, it turns out, was not having the easiest evening. "She was being fussy," Rocky said, "but she got to see daddy so she aight."

Rihanna announced Rocki's arrival in September 2025, making her the couple's third child and their first daughter.

What he said about the holidays last year

Rocky's answer this year lines up with what he said the last time he was asked.

In December 2025, at the Gotham Film Awards in New York, Rocky told E! News he was hoping for a classic Christmas. "I'm looking forward to white Christmas with snow and some chestnuts roasting," he said at the time. "Logs in the fireplace, stuff like that."

That was the family's first holiday season with all three kids. Even then, he summed it up the same way: "Togetherness. Just being together, that's enough."

He also described what it is like watching his family grow. "It's a dream come true," he said. "Be with your family and watch them grow."

A year on, the details have changed, from snowy Christmas plans to a family vacation, but the message hasn't. For Rocky, the holiday is wherever his family is.

A big year for A$AP Rocky

The family talk came during a busy stretch for the rapper. In January, he released Don't Be Dumb, his first album in eight years, and he told E! he is hoping it pays off when Grammy nominations arrive.

"I'm excited," he said. "I hope we win something."

At the Innovator Awards, Rocky also shared his take on what makes something truly original. "Most of the time, nothing is new under the sun," he said, explaining that real innovation often comes from taking something that already exists, or something that's "been lost for decades or centuries," and bringing it back in a new way.

"That makes you the innovator, in my opinion," he said.

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky's family life

Rihanna and Rocky have kept much of their family life private, which is part of why moments like this one land with fans. Rihanna has said their romance began at the end of 2019, and the couple welcomed RZA in 2022, Riot in 2023 and Rocki in 2025.

They rarely spell out what their days at home look like. But every time Rocky is asked about the holidays, he gives the same kind of answer: it isn't about where they go or what they do. It's about being together.
