It’s Rihanna’s birthday today, and we’re pretty sure she’s celebrating with the love of her life, A$AP Rocky. Rihanna and A$AP Rocky are so adorable wherever they are. They could be serving looks at the MET Gala, dazzling onlookers and fans on the red carpet, or enjoying each other’s company at private events and award shows; the two seem to be in their world often, and we love to see it—the parents of two young sons, RZA Athelston, and Riot Rose Mayers, are always out and about on date nights, on both coasts (Los Angeles and New York).
Like us, the paparazzi can’t get enough of them on their way to and from date night, as they are constantly snapping photos of them coming from popular hotspot restaurants Carbone or Giorgio Baldi. The pair loves to enjoy a fabulous cocktail and meal together, as quality time seems integral to the growth of their partnership.
Check out some of our favorite date night photos, below!
