A$AP Rocky and Rihanna in Los Angeles in March 2023They costarred in Rocky's 2013 "Fashion Killa" music video and formed a strong connection long before officially entering a romantic relationship in 2019. The following year, the pair confirmed to the public that they were an item.
"Rihanna and Rocky were on the right road long before the children were born, and they are balancing the work of taking care of two toddlers very well," a music source tells PEOPLE.
"They spend as much time with their kids as possible and truly enjoy being parents," details the insider. "They are very happy in this phase of their relationship."
Both musicians have slowed down their respective musical outputs as they've grown into their relationship and become parents; Rocky's last full length album dropped in 2018, while Rihanna's was released in 2016.
"Both parents do everything they can to spend as much time with the boys as possible. It is pure joy for them," says the source.

"She’s settled into motherhood so well," adds the source of Rihanna. "She is more carefree and relishes the time spent with them."
