Recently, Rihanna has touched upon another aspect of pregnancy: how it has affected her relationship with her mother.

In a sweet Instagram post that celebrated her mom's birthday, she wrote, "Being on the verge of motherhood unlocked new levels of love and respect I have for my mommy in a way that I could never explain! She's the true MVP, and I wanna give her flowers every second I can!"

Rihanna's mother, Monica Braithwaite, has not shared her thoughts on the pregnancy news with the world yet, but the pop star's father, Ronald Fenty, has. In fact, he spoke with Page Six on the topic. "I'm ecstatic. I'm so happy that I jumped for joy," he said. "Rihanna always said that she wanted children. She loves kids ... She's going to be a good mom."
