When it comes to her kids, Rihanna will be all they need and more.

In fact, the "Umbrella" singer detailed life as a mother of two to her sons RZA, 23, months and Riot, 8 months with her longtime partner A$AP Rocky—and why it helps her career.

"They bring purpose to every aspect of my life," Rihanna explained to E! News' Francesca Amiker at Fenty Beauty's Soft'Lit Naturally Luminous Longwear Foundation launch April 26. "Everything has to be intentional, and everything has to be worth it—especially when it takes me away from them." (For more with Rihanna, watch E! News April 29.)

And Rihanna—who was sporting her new blonde hair and a simple cream strapless dress for the launch—explained how she picks and chooses her work, especially attending the latest Fenty beauty event.

"They've got to eat, for one, so I've got to work," she joked. "This is totally worth it. This is the biggest launch we've had since we launched this brand in 2017."

As for how Rihanna is fairing as a boy mom? In her home, she's the only girl in the world.

"It makes me feel really cool to be a boy mom," she added. "I get to be as casual and busted as I want to, but it also forces me to embrace the epic things about being a woman and female and all my femininity—I embrace it so much more now."

And while Rihanna is shining bright like a diamond in her house of boys, she has previously teased plans for a daughter in her future.

In fact, when sharing with E! News in December one thing she hopes to achieve that she hasn't yet, she said, "So far, have daughters."

"I'm batting at 75 percent for a boy next time," she added. "So, we'll just keep our fingers crossed."
