There have been reports of models, babies, and children who all look like they could be her twin, but does the Bajan superstar, Rihanna, have an actual twin?
No, Rihanna does not have a twin. However, she does have a total of five other siblings. Two of her brothers are full siblings. Then she has two half-sisters and a half-brother all from on her father’s side. Rihanna sits in the middle of them all. Her parents divorced when she was 14 years old.
You can read more below about Rihanna’s family, as well as all of the doppelganger articles published surrounding her in the past.
Rihanna’s Full Siblings
Growing up near Barbados capital, Bridgetown, Rihanna was born the eldest and only daughter of her parents Monica and Ronald. While her parents were still married, they had two more children, Rihanna’s younger brothers Rorrey and Rajad.
Rorrey is one year younger than Rihanna and is also a musician, though not even close to as successful as his older sister. He is a hip-hop artist who goes by the stage name Gallest. This is also the name his Instagram account is under. Rajad is eight years younger than his older sister and is often seen attending events with her. You can check out his Instagram page here.
Despite a dark childhood that was filled with their father’s problems with addiction to alcohol and crack, the three have a strong bond. They often post photos with each other on their social media pages and the three are constantly seen out together.
Rihanna’s Half-Siblings
Rihanna has a strong bond with her two full brothers, but what about her three half siblings? Rihanna is the half-sister of Samantha, Kandy, and Jamie Fenty. Her father, Ronald Fenty, had the three prior to his marriage with Monica. Not that much is known about Rihanna’s three older half-siblings, their mother isn’t even public knowledge.
The eldest of then all is Kandy Fenty, who was born in 1971. She lives in Barbados and is a Pharmacist Assistant. Then Samantha Fenty, who was born ten years later in 1981, is a consultant. Finally, only four years before Rihanna, her older half-brother, Jamie Fenty, was born in 1986. He is a graphic artist and photographer.

Doppelgangers, Twins, and Look-Alikes
While Rihanna clearly does not have a twin, there seem to always be claims in the news and on social media of people who could be the singer’s twin or doppelganger. One person who looks like they could be Rihanna’s twin is the Digital Creator, Andele Lara. In this Instagram post, she looks almost identical to Riri.
On top of that, Rihanna has even shared pictures of a little girl who looks like she could be a seven-year old Rihanna. Riri posted this photo to her Instagram with the caption “almost drop my phone. How?” Clearly Rihanna was just as shocked as the girl in the photo and her mother.
The girl in the picture is the young model, Ala’a Braytop. The photo had originally been shared by Ala’a’s mother, Bria, for fun because Ala’a told her mom she wanted to model. The two had no idea what was going to happen after the picture was shared. This BET article highlights that the now viral post has created huge opportunities for the Virginia native. You can visit her Instagram page, which is run by her mom, here.
Rihanna clearly doesn’t have a twin, but she does have a big family. That family is really close to the famous Barbadian singer. On top of that big family, she has at least two look-alikes out there in the world.
