Rihanna had clearly set out to announce the exciting news to fans, as she accessorised her growing bump with coloured jewels and gold chains, wearing her $8,000 pink Chanel coat puffer jacket open from her torso.

The We Found Love songstress looked gorgeous and glowing as she walked alongside her beau, though the couple have not yet officially announced their pregnancy.

The pair both featured in the A$AP Rocky's 2013 video for Fashion Killa; while the rapper provided a guest verse on the remix of Rihanna's 2012 hit Cockiness (I Love It).
