All About Rihanna's Brothers and Sisters


   Rihanna has had the support of her siblings throughout her decades-long career.

The singer grew up in Barbados with her two younger brothers, Rorrey and Rajad, and parents, Ronald Fenty and Monica Braithwaite. She also has three older siblings — sisters Kandy and Samantha and brother Jamie — from her father's previous relationships.

While Rihanna's older siblings have remained more private, her younger brothers have stepped into the spotlight with the singer, appearing on red carpets together and supporting her various musical and business endeavors over the years.

In November 2021, when Rihanna was declared a National Hero of Barbados, her brother Rorrey celebrated the milestone on Instagram by calling his sister his "hero."

"My Hero! The Right Excellent Robyn Rihanna Fenty! National Hero Of Barbados," he wrote alongside a photo of the artist.

Rihanna shares an equally close bond with her youngest brother Rajad, whom she has even referred to as her "son."

From their childhood in Barbados to Rorrey's self-proclaimed "funcle" status, here is everything to know about Rihanna's five siblings.


Rihanna and her younger brothers, Rorrey and Rajad, were raised in a bungalow in Barbados by their parents, Ronald and Monica. In 2012, Rihanna returned to Barbados for an episode of Oprah's Next Chapter, where she gave Oprah Winfrey a tour of her childhood home. During the tour, she revealed that she shared a room with her brother and mom.

When Rihanna was 14, her parents divorced, in part due to Ronald's struggles with addiction. “He taught me everything, and as awful as he was to my mom, at times, it didn’t compare to how great he was as a father," the "Diamonds" singer told Oprah. "And I had to come to terms with that, and I was able to close that gap with him.”

In 2018, Rihanna shared a photo with both of her parents on Instagram with the simple caption, "home."


Before becoming a father to Rihanna, Rorrey and Rajad, Ronald had three children from previous relationships: daughters Kandy and Samantha and son Jamie. The Grammy Award-winning singer was reportedly introduced to her half-siblings at different times in her childhood.



Rihanna’s three older half-siblings — Kandy, Samantha and Jamie — lead a more low-key life than their megastar sister.

Her younger brother, Rorrey, however, has been a bit more public. He currently serves on the Board of Directors for Barbados Tourism Marketing Inc. He has also hosted several events on the island, including Lost in Paradise and Imagine Weekend.
