Pop icons Rihanna and Ciara made headlines at the 2025 Met Gala as they publicly reunited 14 years after their Twitter spat. Both stars were seen smiling and photographed inside New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 5, posing alongside their partners A$AP Rocky and NFL star Russell Wilson marking a moment of warmth and reconciliation.
During the event, Ciara, 39, was seen joyfully placing her hand on Rihanna’s baby bump. The “Diamonds” singer, 37, had announced just hours earlier that she and A$AP Rocky were expecting their third child. Ciara later appeared on The Sherri Show on May 6, expressing her happiness about their encounter. “It was so sweet running into her I’m so proud of her,” she said. As reported by People, the once-tense relationship between the two singers dates back to a 2011 exchange sparked by Ciara’s comments on Fashion Police.
After Rihanna responded sharply on Twitter, the two engaged in a brief war of words before Rihanna apologized. Though they had kept a low profile since, Ciara revealed to Sherri that Rihanna had sent her a “sweet DM” a few months ago, reigniting their friendship.
