British Vogues shares a behind the scenes look at the superstars life as busy parents.

She's a pregnant mom on the go these days, but nothing is slowing down Rihanna. The singer has been in a flurry as this season is back-to-back performances. After preparing for her epic Super Bowl halftime show, Rihanna is now gearing up to take to the Academy Awards stage. She's reportedly set to perform "Lift Me Up" from the latest Black Panther soundtrack, but ahead of the next show, behind-the-scenes footage of Ri, A$AP Rocky, and their baby boy was shared.

Recently, the superstar singer posed on the cover of British Vogue with her little one. At the time, Rihanna says she was unaware she was pregnant with her second child. That news became the big reveal at the halftime show, and now, fans are getting a closer look at how Ri and Rocky are as famous parents on the go. British Vogue shared a brief video showing the mom and dad during Ri's photoshoot for the magazine.

Rihanna detailed what it's been like as a first-time mom. “Oh, my God, it’s legendary,” she told the outlet. “It’s everything. You really don’t remember life before, that’s the craziest thing ever. You literally try to remember it – and there are photos of my life before – but the feeling, the desires, the things that you enjoy, everything, you just don’t identify with it because you don’t even allow yourself mentally to get that far, because it doesn’t matter.”

Fans have speculated about Rihanna as a mother and what her home life must be like. There have been guesses about a house full of nannies or help at every corner. While we're sure Ri has all the aid she needs, she explained to British Vogue what it was like following birth. She called the process beautiful but admitted that the concept messed with her head. “Essentially, from one person, I became two," said the singer.

Family Of 3, Soon Family Of 4

Rihanna added, "You walk into the hospital as a couple and leave as a family of three. It’s nuts. And oh, my gosh, those first days are insane. You don’t sleep. At all. Not even if you wanted to. We came home, cold turkey, had no one. It was just us as parents and our baby. Man, you’re a zombie for the most part.” Check out the behind-the-scenes footage of A$AP Rocky, Rihanna, and their mini-me above.
