Rihanna’s pregnancy has introduced some unique cravings for the mom-to-be. In a rare interview with Vogue, the cover star shared insight into her long-simmering romance with rapper A$AP Rocky and her pregnancy journey, including the way her tastes have changed since she started expecting.
Though Rihanna leaned savoury over sweet prior to her pregnancy, she’s now found the perfect sweet-and-salty combination: tangerines sprinkled with salt, which she eats by the dozen. The unique snack reminds her of home. “It has to be with salt and only with salt, because in Barbados we take our fruits to the ocean and soak them,” she tells Vogue. “Trust me, it really is a thing.” She also revealed she’s craving sweet treats more than ever. “I usually hate desserts, but all of a sudden you come close to me with a chocolate-covered donut and you’ve got my heart forever,” she adds.
The multi-hyphenate, who’s now in her third trimester, also opened up about her smooth-sailing pregnancy so far, with more manageable mood swings than anticipated and no morning sickness. However, she admits what comes after is what frightens her the most: postpartum depression. “Will I feel out of control emotionally? Those are the stories I hear from other women that scare me,” she says.
