In a night filled with glitz, glamour, and surprise, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky sent shockwaves through the entertainment world after revealing the name of their third child at an exclusive Beverly Hills bash over the weekend. While fans were already buzzing about the couple’s growing family, it was Eminem’s unexpected reaction—beginning with the letter “E”—that sent the internet into overdrive.

Rebel or Royalty? Nope—It’s “Eclipse”

In front of a crowd that included Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Pharrell, and Zendaya, Rihanna and Rocky took the stage to reveal their newborn daughter’s name: Eclipse Fenty Mayers.

The crowd reportedly fell silent for a split second before erupting into wild cheers. Rihanna, radiant in a shimmering silver gown, explained the inspiration behind the name.
“We wanted something cosmic, something powerful, something rare—just like her,” she said, smiling at Rocky, who added, “She’s already our little light in the darkness.”

The name “Eclipse” instantly became a trending topic worldwide, with fans praising its boldness, mystique, and poetic beauty.

Eminem’s One-Word Reaction Breaks the Internet

But what truly electrified the night was Eminem’s candid, off-the-cuff response when he heard the name during the announcement. Standing near the bar, witnesses say the Detroit rapper paused, smirked, and simply said, “Epic.”

The understated yet powerful reaction quickly went viral. Guests described Eminem’s expression as a mix of surprise and genuine admiration.

“Only Marshall could make one word feel like a standing ovation,” one partygoer told reporters.

A fan on X (formerly Twitter) posted, “If Eminem calls your baby’s name ‘Epic,’ it’s officially the coolest baby in the galaxy.”

Another joked, “Forget baby name books, Rihanna and Rocky just got the Slim Shady seal of approval.”

Celebrity Reactions Pour In

It wasn’t just Eminem who was impressed. Celebrities at the event reportedly gushed over the originality of the name. Pharrell was overheard saying, “That’s the hardest baby name I’ve ever heard.” Lizzo chimed in on Instagram Live, saying, “Eclipse? That’s next level genius. Leave it to Rihanna.”

Even NASA’s official social media account jumped in on the trend, tweeting, “Congratulations to Rihanna & A$AP Rocky. Little Eclipse, the universe awaits you 🌌.”

A Growing Legacy of Iconic Names

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky are known for giving their children powerful, unique names. Their first two children are named RZA Athelston Mayers, after the Wu-Tang Clan legend, and Riot Rose Mayers, reflecting both rebellion and beauty.

With the addition of Eclipse, fans are already calling the trio “the most iconically named celebrity siblings ever.”

What’s Next for the Power Couple?

Rihanna, who has been teasing a highly anticipated return to music, is reportedly focusing on family life for now. A$AP Rocky continues his work in music and fashion but is equally devoted to fatherhood.

Sources close to the couple say they plan to take some time in Barbados before Rihanna resumes her next creative project. Whether that’s new music, a Fenty fashion line, or both remains to be seen.

A Night to Remember

The lavish party featured celestial-themed decor, a custom “Eclipse” cake, and performances from some of the couple’s closest friends in the industry. But it was the baby’s name—and Eminem’s now-iconic “Epic” response—that will be remembered for years to come.

As one guest put it best:
“When Rihanna names her child Eclipse and Eminem calls it Epic, you know history has just been made.”
