It’s a sad time for Rihanna and the Fenty family, as news has broken that her father, Ronald Fenty, has passed away at the age of 70. Reports say he died in Los Angeles following a brief illness. While the exact cause hasn't been made public, it’s been confirmed that family members, including Rihanna and her younger brother Rajad, were by his side at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
Ronald Fenty was a native of Barbados and the father of Rihanna, born Robyn Rihanna Fenty, along with her brothers Rorrey and Rajad. He also had three other children from previous relationships. Though Ronald and Rihanna’s relationship had its ups and downs over the years, there’s no denying that their bond still carried weight. Like many families, theirs had its complexities—struggles with addiction, separation, lawsuits—but also reconciliation and healing in recent years.
In the past, Rihanna shared openly about the pain she experienced growing up, but she also acknowledged the importance of forgiving and moving forward. Ronald had expressed happiness over being a grandfather and seeing his daughter grow into a strong woman, mother, and global icon.
As Rihanna and her loved ones process this deep personal loss, our hearts and prayers go out to them. Losing a parent is never easy, no matter the circumstances. May Ronald Fenty rest peacefully, and may comfort and strength surround the family during this time.
