Ronald Fenty is reportedly hoping for a girl this time around, as he already has four grandsons.

Rihanna's father found out about her second baby during her Super Bowl halftime show, just like the rest of us mortals. Moreover, Ronald Fenty told TMZ that he's incredibly happy that her daughter's expecting again with her husband A$AP Rocky. However, since he has four grandsons already, Ronald expressed that he's hoping for a girl this time. Also, he added that he's very excited at the idea of having a granddaughter, especially considering how RiRi turned out. Though he expressed those hopes for her first pregnancy, too, maybe a second go at it will yield more luck.

Furthermore, Ronald detailed to TMZ how the superstar singer got him tickets to the Super Bowl. Still, she didn't let him know that she's going to drop some big news soon. So, he felt very surprised when he looked up at the floating Smash Bros.-esque stage design and saw her girl's bump from the stands. "Oh, my God!" he exclaimed to his partner in the audience. "My baby girl looks pregnant!" Many might remember how difficult it was to tell as the halftime show aired. While Twitter came to conclusions quickly, surely many Super Bowl parties took a while to debate or notice the bump.

Regardless, Rihanna's statement shook the world and elevated an already compelling performance for some. With that statement came renewed hopes for a daughter for Ronald, which he likely doesn't feel too pressed over all things considered. After all, he said back when she announced her first pregnancy that he had a feeling they wouldn't stop at two. Not only that, but it also represents another chance for him to be more involved. Given he lives in Barbados and the "Diamonds" singer's incredibly busy schedule, he said he isn't very involved in his grandson's life. While the two went through some rough patches, hopefully they reconcile amid celebration of new life in the family again. For what it's worth, he said he'd love to be more present in his family's extended life.

Meanwhile, RiRi recently shared that her and Rocky never got a nanny for their son. Also, Nicki Minaj showed her love for her pictures of her baby boy and for "bodying" the Super Bowl. Overall, Rihanna's Super Bowl halftime show was great, whether for the actual show or seeing people celebrate life with her. Regardless, stay up-to-date on HNHH for the lates updates and news on Rihanna and her family.
