Rihanna elucidates reasons behind decision to raise her children without reliance on tablets in candid interview

Rihanna elucidates reasons behind decision to raise her children without reliance on tablets in candid interview
July 24, 2025

In a recent interview with Vogue UK, pop sensation Rihanna opened up about her parenting approach, revealing a surprising stance on technology in her household. The multi-talented artist, who welcomed her first child earlier this year, shared her views on the so-called "tablet babies" phenomenon and why she and partner A$AP Rocky have opted for a different approach.

"I just feel like there's so much more to life than staring at a screen all day," Rihanna remarked. "I want my kids to experience the world around them, to engage with nature, to interact with real people. I don't want them growing up with their faces constantly buried in a device."

This decision comes as a refreshing departure from the tech-heavy upbringing that many children in today's society are subjected to. With the rise of tablets, smartphones, and other digital distractions, it's becoming increasingly rare to see youngsters without a screen in front of them. Rihanna's choice to limit her children's exposure to such devices is a bold move that has sparked conversation among fans and critics alike.

Some have praised the singer for her commitment to fostering a more hands-on, sensory-rich environment for her kids, while others have questioned the feasibility of raising children in today's world without relying on technology. But Rihanna remains steadfast in her beliefs, citing her own upbringing as inspiration for her parenting philosophy.

"I grew up without all this technology, and I turned out just fine," she quipped. "I want my children to have the same freedom to explore, to create, to imagine without the constant distraction of a screen. It's about balance, you know?"

As the world continues to grapple with the effects of technology on our daily lives, Rihanna's decision to raise her children without the crutch of tablets serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of unplugging and reconnecting with the world around us. And with her signature style and unapologetic attitude, it's clear that the singer is setting a new standard for parenting in the digital age.
