A$AP Rocky and Rihanna celebrated her birthday by “reconnecting,” a source exclusively tells Page Six.
The “F—kin’ Problems” rapper gifted the singer — who turns 37 on Thursday — a diamond pendant necklace in the shape of the scales of justice in a hilarious nod to the favorable conclusion of his gun trail earlier this week.
While the exact design and price is unclear, the fashionable duo are known for their bling, with Rihanna often wearing meaningful pieces that pay tribute to both Rocky and their two children.
Rihanna’s birthday celebration comes two days after Rocky, whose legal name is Rakim Athelaston Mayers, was found not guilty on two counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm.
The incident stemmed from an argument with childhood friend and bandmate Terell Ephron — also known as A$AP Relli — in 2021.
“Rocky and Rihanna had breakfast at home, with just the two of them and their kids,” the insider says, referring to sons RZA, 2, and Riot, 1.
“Today’s the day where they’re basically reconnecting with the family and they’re just staying home.”
According to the source, the couple — whose romantic relationship started in late 2020 — are “not going out to a big dinner.”
However, they did go out later in the night, hitting up popular hotspot The Nice Guy in matching suiting looks that included a trench coat for Rocky and a full blazer and tie for Rihanna.
The couple have been suited up in their best court-appropriate looks during the trial, matching in gray pinstripes for the reading of the final verdict on Feb. 19.
Another sartorial win for A$AP? On Friday he was announced as the first-ever creative director for sunglass brand Ray-Ban after he modeled multiple pairs from the forthcoming black-out collection at his court appearances.
“They’re basically just appreciating the fact that they’re able to be together,” the source says of the pair who share sons RZA, 2, and Riot, 1.
Reps for Rocky and Rihanna did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.
The “L$D” rapper was acquitted on Tuesday after a jury in Los Angeles came to the verdict after five hours of deliberation.
Rocky’s New York power attorney, Joe Tacopina, exclusively told Page Six in a statement, “Today was a day where the journey to justice was completed.”
“We are exhilarated and thrilled that the jury saw through the charade that was the district attorney’s case. Rocky and Rihanna now get to resume their life with their two young children and their family,” Tacopina continued.
“The fact that this verdict was in under four hours after a month long trial shows the strength of the defense case and the weakness of the prosecution’s.
“Obviously, we’re grateful to the jury and Rocky in particular is grateful to the jury for coming to the conclusion that they came to so swiftly and now it’s just time to move forward.”
Following the verdict, Rocky told jurors in the Los Angeles courtroom, “Thank y’all for saving my life.”
