Rihanna flashed a beautiful, soft smile as she arrived at Los Angeles’ LAX airport on Friday.
The 35-year-old superstar singer was accompanied on the trip by her partner A$AP Rocky, 34, along with her mother Monica Braithwaite, though it was not clear if her first child – who was revealed exclusively by DailyMail.com – was named RZA . – joined the group.
The trio was able to skip the hustle and bustle of the regular airport when they arrived at The Private Suites, the luxurious and exclusive terminal across the street from LAX that caters to wealthy fliers who want privacy and perks.
Rihanna was dressed for comfort ahead of her flight with a grungy mostly black ensemble.
She hid her burgeoning baby bump by draping a baggy black jacket with embroidered designs over her shoulders, and she also appeared to have a blue sweatshirt tied around her torso underneath.

She complemented the jacket with matching black embroidered pants and she kept comfy with textured black and white sneakers.
The Umbrella singer wore a thick black handbag on her arm and blocked out the penetrating light with thin cat-eye sunglasses with playful star designs on the temples.
She kept her hair as casual as her outfit by pulling it back in a puffy bun.
Unlike his love, Rocky (born Rakim Mayers) masked himself when he arrived at the private suites.
He wore his hair in buns and what looked like a green and blue varsity letter jacket.
Rihanna’s mom Monica also kept it simple with a pale seafoam hoodie and matching pants, as well as sleek sunglasses.
It’s not clear where the family went, but Rihanna was seen stepping out at signs advertising airlines traveling to Mexico.
Regardless of her destination, she didn’t seem to believe in packing lightly.

The Work singer and her entourage had brought so much luggage for the flight that they needed a separate minivan to take everything to the airport.
Rihanna usually keeps her relationship with her accountant mother under the radar.
Last year, while pregnant with her first child, Rihanna shared a sweet Instagram post honoring her mother on her birthday, opening up about the newfound “respect” she had for the woman who raised her.
“On the verge of becoming a mom unlocked new levels of the love and respect I have for my mama in a way I could never explain! She is the real MVP and I want to give her flowers every second! I love you mumzzzz!!!’ she wrote in admiration.
Monica was married to Rihanna’s father Ronald Fenty, but the couple divorced in 2002 when she was 14.
The hitmaker’s casual attire on Friday was a far cry from the “quiet luxury” she showcased in a TikTok video earlier this week.
She started by showing off a pair of black open-toe heels with jeweled straps around her ankles.
But after dramatically walking around in it, she lowered the camera to reveal that she was wearing a huge teardrop diamond ring on one of her toes.

The singer also recently got a strong show of protective love from her boyfriend A$AP Rocky.
The rapper was featured in a video shared by a Rihanna fan account of a recent club outing for the two.
After a brawl broke out between several men not far from where the pair were enjoying themselves, Rocky yelled at them to “act like gentlemen now” because “my wife is in here.”
He and Rihanna have been together since 2020 and he is a father to RZA and their baby-to-be. The lovebirds were friends and collaborators for years before they started dating.
