Real Housewives of New York City star Leah McSweeney revealed that she and Rihanna text about their pregnancy experiences.
In an interview with Us Weekly, the reality TV star and Married to the Mob designer said, "We've been texting. I'm happy for her, obviously. She's just, I mean, the way she's rocking pregnancy is just unlike anything I've ever seen."
Rihanna has made several public — and mega-stylish — appearances since announcing her pregnancy. She is expecting her first child with boyfriend and rapper A$AP Rocky.
McSweeney said she and the Fenty Beauty founder share their pregnancy experiences with each other. The Real Housewives star has a 14-year-old daughter with her ex, Rob Cristofaro.
"I just recently was talking to her about how at the end of my pregnancy, I could barely sleep because you’re just so big. And you’re like, ‘Oh, this baby.’ And I was like getting heartburn and stuff," McSweeney told Us Weekly.
McSweeney, however, said she isn't dishing out any unwanted pregnancy advice. "She doesn’t ask me for any, so I’m not gonna give her unsolicited advice. (If I were to) give anyone advice, it’d be not to listen to anyone because everyone has something to say about it. And at the end of the day, women have been, like, birthing babies and taking care of them for millennia. We just do it," she said.
Rihanna and Leah have been friends since they met at a Met Gala afterparty a few years ago. Rihanna has made it known that she's a fan of McSweeney's clothing line, Married to the Mob. The "Needed Me" singer even dissed Real Housewives of New York costar Ramona Singer when she threw shade at McSweeney's brand.
"I got introduced to Rihanna and she thought she knew me already — and she gave me a huge hug and was like, ‘I know you!’ And I was like, ‘Actually, you don’t know me. But, you wear my clothing line. You wear my brand, and thank you for that,'" McSweeney shared with Bravo in 2020.
