During a recent interview with Elle, the 34-year-old singer — who is expecting her first baby with boyfriend A$AP Rocky — opened up about her future life as a mom as she enters her third trimester. She admitted that, as a fan of The Real Housewives franchise, she admires the parenting style of Real Housewives of New Jersey's Teresa Giudice. "Teresa from Jersey does not play about her kids," Rihanna told the outlet. "She will flatten you about those kids. And that resonates with me a lot because I feel like that's the type of mom I'm going to be. Psycho about it." For more on Rihanna, listen below to our daily podcast on PEOPLE Every Day. The Grammy winner then quipped that she'll actually be "worse" than Giudice, adding, "You talk about my kids, it's over." Rihanna also said she admires Heather Dubrow from The Real Housewives of Orange County, adding that she's "so chic while being a mom."

Kevin Mazur/Getty One Chic Mama! All of Rihanna's Epic Fashion Week Maternity Looks And being a "chic" mom is a task the Anti artist has already gotten a head start on. Since breaking her pregnancy news, Rihanna has been showcasing her iconic maternity styles and putting her baby bump on display. During a Fenty Beauty event last month in L.A., the singer told PEOPLE that it's been "fun" but also "a challenge" to play with fashion while she's pregnant. "I like it. I'm enjoying it," she said at the time. "I'm enjoying not having to worry about covering up my tummy," said the "We Found Love" singer. "If I feel a little chubby, it's like, whatever! It's a baby!" The mom-to-be also opened up about how fashion and beauty are helping her to feel confident. "Right now, being pregnant, some days you just feel like, 'Ugh, I just want to lay here on this couch all day.' But when you put on a little face and a little lipstick, you transform," she explained.

"I've heard that for a very long time, but it's true. It really can get you up off that couch and make you feel like a bad bitch." Rihanna revealed in January that she's expecting her first child with Rocky, 33. After she was photographed debuting her baby bump, a source told PEOPLE that Rihanna is "excited to be a mom" and "couldn't be happier." "Everything Rihanna does, she does it her own way on her own time table, and having a baby is no different," the source said, adding that Rihanna and Rocky were over the moon about their baby on the way. "They're just like any other pair of parents-to-be. Yes, they happen to be famous but they're just the cutest, giddiest young couple that's expecting kids."
