Rihanna says motherhood 'has only added to the inspiration in my life'

Rihanna has opened up about the way motherhood has impacted her career, as she said her son has "added to the inspiration in my life".

The singer, 34, and her partner A$AP Rocky welcomed their son in May last year. They have yet to announce the name of their baby, who is now almost nine months old.

While juggling motherhood, Rihanna is currently preparing for her Super Bowl halftime performance on Sunday and has just launched a new Fenty Beauty collection.

Speaking about how the different parts of her life come together, the Umbrella hitmaker said: "Becoming a mother has only added to the inspiration in my life."

"I've had to find the balance between an efficient routine that maximises precious 'me' time and full glam because I really enjoy that colourful creative process," she said in an interview with Elle.

Rihanna also admitted recently that it's been difficult to find time to spend with her baby and said work will always "rob you of time with your child".

"The balance is almost impossible because no matter how you look at it, work is always something that's going to rob you of time with your child.

"That's the currency now, and that's where it goes, the magnitude of how much it weighs.

"When you make decisions on what you're going to say yes to, it has to be worth it," she said during Apple Music's Super Bowl press conference.

Rihanna is busy preparing for her upcoming Super Bowl show which will mark her first major live performance in six years.

She said it will be important for her to have her son watching her performance.

"To go on the biggest stage in seven years, there's something thrilling about the challenge of it all.

"It's important for the representation and it's important for my son to see that," Rihanna said during the interview.

She added: "That's a big part of why I want to do this show, representing for my country, representing for immigrants, representing for black people.

"That's a big part of why I wanted to do it."
