He was seen holding up his smartphone to record the superstar as she sang on one of the biggest stages in the world and was filled with glee throughout.

Additionally, Rocky wore a custom jacket that featured Rihanna’s tattooed hand holding a football on the back to honor the “Diamonds” singer on her big night.

Olivia Wilde took to her Instagram at the time to comment on the “Everyday” rapper’s supportive ways, writing over a screenshot of him, “If I thought he was hot before, this really put me over the edge.”

However, the”Don’t Worry Darling” director, 39, went viral for her cringey remark after it was deemed “inappropriate” by many.

Wilde then removed the post and said in her defense to those “who got it twisted” that she meant, “It’s hot to respect your partner. Especially when your partner just did thaaaaaat.”

Rihanna and Rocky have been dating since 2020.

They welcomed their first child together, a son, in May 2022. At the Super Bowl, the “Diamonds” singer revealed that she and the “A$AP Forever” rapper have a second baby on the way.
