The famous parents may have been hinting at their new baby name during the Met Gala in May, according to Entertainment Tonight. Rihanna wore a white Valentino gown with roses and Rocky wore a red kilt similar to one he wore in the music video for the song "RIOT."

Ahead of the debut, a source told Entertainment Tonight photos were coming, and explained the meaning behind the middle name Rose. "Not everyone knows this, but Rocky loves flowers — he loves having fresh flowers in the house, he loves decorating with flowers, and he even had real flowers in his grill once," the source said, adding that roses are also Rihanna's favorite flowers.

Rocky, 34, posted an image of Rihanna and RZA on Instagram in May. "HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY TO MY 1st BORN. RZA," he wrote.

In February, the the parents and RZA appeared on the cover of British Vogue and Rihanna shared images from that photoshoot on Instagram.
