While gender reveal parties are slowly becoming a less and less popular choice, Rihanna admitted that she felt like a "bad mom" for opting out of having one.
The 34-year-old "Love On The Brain" singer, who is soon to welcome her first child with rapper boyfriend, A$AP Rocky, recently opened up to Vogue, revealing that she felt guilty about steering clear of certain pregnancy traditions.
From hers and A$AP Rocky's shocking pregnancy announcement back in January to every iconic, baby bump-baring outfit that she has worn since she has been paving her own path as a soon-to-be mom.
While gender reveal parties have become frowned upon by many and considered politically incorrect in today's global climate, the "Umbrella" singer said that she feels like a "bad mom" for not having one.
She noted that if she does, it's not going to be cliché. "No brunch, no blush tones. And no animal-shaped nothing," she said.
She even admitted to throwing traditional baby showers for other people.
“I mean it’s lit for a lot of people — I’ve even planned a couple of baby showers like that myself — it’s just not right for me," she shared.
She then went on to reveal that she was concerned about not wanting to have a gender reveal party.
“I asked my doctor: 'Is something wrong with me for not wanting this? Because people keep asking me. Am I a bad mom?'" she said.
Similarly, the pair took their time even revealing their pregnancy back in January. So it doesn't come as a surprise that they want to wait until they're ready to reveal the gender of their baby.
