Rihanna fans are among the most dedicated in the world, and now, they're heaping praise onto the star's "adorable" months-old son.

A 45-second video of the singer's baby was posted to her TikTok on Saturday. She and her partner, rapper A$AP Rocky, welcomed the boy to the world in May.

The footage captures Rihanna and her child interacting in the back of a moving car, with the 7-month-old cooing and even cracking some smiles.

"You trying to get Mommy's phone?" the star asked at one point when her son grabs for her cell.

Fans and fellow celebs were beyond excited to catch a glimpse of RiRi's young one, with many taking to Twitter to weigh in on the star's video.

"Imagine being a baby and like, Rihanna is your mom," Kamie Crawford, co-host of MTV's Catfish, tweeted Saturday afternoon.

One fan account, user @rihannahourlyy, pointed out several of Rihanna's major achievements this year.

"Rihanna broke the internet 3 times in a year," they wrote, along with a Rihanna maternity picture, an image of a football and a photo of the star's son.

It's been a massive year for Rihanna, who in November saw her single "Lift Me Up" debut on the Billboard Hot 100 chart at No. 2. She also announced in September that she'll grace TV screens as the headliner for the 2023 Super Bowl Halftime show.

Meanwhile, many other social media users marveled at the similarities between Rihanna's and her son's facial features and expressions.

"That is definitely Rihanna's baby," publicist and writer Tenille Clarke tweeted, along with a laughing emoji and smiling face emoji with three hearts.

"When @Rihanna's baby REALLY looks like @Rihanna's baby," user @URihannaFansite tweeted, including some side-by-side images of the pair.

Twitter user @Rochelle__Meyer also wrote in a tweet: "Rihanna's baby took her entire face [pleading face and heart eyes emojis]."

Rihanna revealed that she was pregnant at the start of 2021 when she and A$AP Rocky were pictured going for a walk in New York City. During the stroll, the singer donned a long hot-pink coat with the bottom unbuttoned to reveal her bare baby bump.

She also took the maternity fashion world by storm after news of her pregnancy first broke, appearing at fashion weeks in Paris and Milan.

Newsweek reached out to a representative for Rihanna for comment.
