British Vogue that she would have no problem with raising children as a single mother – cue an outpouring of disdain from those who claimed she was glorifying “broken homes. ” And this week, Twitter was flooded with comments ranging from the disparaging in tone (Rihanna’s current choice of partner, her age) to the downright patronising (some praised her for “normalising” getting pregnant at age 33).

She was aged 37 and 39 when she gave birth to children Archie and Lilibet in 2019 and 2021, and, while pregnant, saw every one of her choices analysed against some imagined ideal for parenting skills in the global media.
