A$AP Rocky and Rihanna may soon be taking a major step in their relationship following the rapper’s recent legal triumph.
After being found not guilty in a highly publicized gun assault trial, Rocky’s emotional courtroom moment with Rihanna has sparked fresh wedding speculation.
Sources close to the couple reveal that they are now looking ahead to the future—one that could very well include a walk down the aisle.
Relief and Celebration After Rocky’s Acquittal
Rocky, whose real name is Rakim Athelaston Mayers, faced two felony counts of assault with a semiautomatic weapon, a case that had been looming over him for years.
The 36-year-old artist pleaded not guilty and, in a dramatic conclusion to the trial, was acquitted on Wednesday.
The verdict not only cleared his name but also lifted a heavy burden off his shoulders—and Rihanna’s.
A source shared with The Sun that Rihanna had been deeply anxious about the trial’s outcome, fearing the possibility of Rocky being sentenced to prison. “Without a doubt, she was petrified that it could have gone the other way, with him winding up in jail. As unthinkable as that scenario was, it remained a horrific possibility that played on her mind until the moment he was cleared,” the insider revealed.
Now that Rocky is a free man, the couple is reportedly embracing a fresh start. “Right now, they’re basking in the relief and looking forward to a new chapter, which will almost certainly include a wedding,” the source added.
A Moment of Gratitude and a Family’s Support
Following the verdict, Rocky wasted no time expressing his appreciation. Exiting the courtroom alongside Rihanna, he reportedly turned to the jurors and said, “Thank y’all for saving my life.”
Outside the Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center, the rapper addressed reporters, sharing his gratitude for the outcome. “First of all, I got to thank God. We want to thank God first, you know what I’m saying? And I really want to thank the jury for making the right decision,” he stated.
Reflecting on the long legal battle, he added, “This whole experience has been crazy, for the past four years, but I’m thankful, nonetheless. I’m thankful. Blessed to be here right now, to be a free man talkin’ to y’all. Thank you. All praise to God.”
Rihanna also took to Instagram to react to the verdict, posting, “The glory belongs to God and God alone! Thankful, humbled by his mercy.”
Rihanna’s Unwavering Support Throughout the Trial
Throughout the legal ordeal, Rihanna remained steadfastly by Rocky’s side. The couple, who have been together since 2020, share two sons: RZA, 2, and Riot, 1. The children even made an appearance in court, with Rihanna encouraging them to “wish daddy good luck.”
While Rocky faced the daunting possibility of a 60-year prison sentence, Rihanna reportedly spared no expense in supporting him. A source revealed that the Umbrella singer, who has a staggering net worth of approximately $1.4 billion, was instrumental in ensuring he had top-tier legal representation.
“His legal expenses have already run into the hundreds of thousands, but she’s not even blinking,” the insider disclosed. While Rocky, with a net worth of around $20 million, has his own financial success, Rihanna has been more than willing to help him in every aspect of his life.
The source added, “She’s very quick to deny she’s paying for everything, but that fools no one. Rumor has it she’s helping him out in every area—we’re talking private jets, lifestyle expenses, cars, jewelry, bodyguards.”
Wedding Bells on the Horizon?
With Rocky’s legal troubles behind them, speculation is growing that wedding plans may be in the works. The couple, who first sparked dating rumors in 2013 before making their relationship official in 2020, have already built a strong family foundation.
Now, with their legal worries behind them and a bright future ahead, sources close to the couple suggest that a wedding could be the next milestone in their love story. Whether it happens soon or down the road, one thing is clear—Rihanna and Rocky are stronger than ever, ready to move forward together.
