Having a Bad Gal like Rihanna on his arm is an undeniably huge flex for A$AP Rocky, and he doesn't take it for granted. The pair were friends long before their relationship bloomed into a romantic one. Just last May, they welcomed their first child together. After giving her some time to recover from giving birth the singer's fans have been steadily demanding new music from her. Instead, she's having a second baby.

During her legendary Super Bowl Halftime show last night, the 34-year-old quietly broke the news that she's with child again. It remains unclear how far along she is at this point. Still, her budding bump was proudly on display as she sang. It was previously thought that a guest star may join Rih on stage. Some speculated that it could've been her boyfriend, but instead, the New Yorker happily watched on from the audience.

Wearing a custom NFL jacket with his partner's tattooed hand holding a football displayed on the back, Rocky was showing immense love to the mother of his children. In footage making rounds online, he holds up his phone, like dozens of others around him, smiling while filming the "Diamonds" songstress in all her glory.

After capturing a few clips, the Testing rapper puts his phone in his pocket. This allowed him to fully take in Rihanna's triumphant return without distractions. Seeing as this was also how she unveiled the couple's second pregnancy to the world, it's an equally as exciting moment for him and their family. Rocky is clearly feeling the Fenty founder's vocals, as he bops along to some of her biggest hits.

Like everyone else in the stadium, the expecting father couldn't take his eyes off of the Barbadian beauty. As her astounding set comes to an end, he breaks out in cheers and applause, congratulating RiRi as if she was performing for just him. On Twitter, countless users have been talking about the precious moment, praising A$AP for loving his other half so loudly.

"He's watching his second unborn up there. I'd be happy too," one person pointed out. Others wrote, "Ladies, get yourself a man who supports you just like this," and "It's the cheering at the end for us."
