Claim: A Facebook blog named Weyoneblog4SL TV posted a photo of a pregnant Rihanna, Chris Brown, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Neymar Jr. at a baby shower after a party in Los Angeles.

Full Text
A photo posted by a Facebook blog named Weyoneblog4SL TV claims that Rihanna, Chris Brown, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Neymar Jr. were at Rihanna’s baby shower after-party in Los Angeles. The photo shows famous singer Rihanna standing with three men. One of the men looks like Chris Brown, a well-known American singer. Another one resembles Cristiano Ronaldo, the famous Portuguese footballer, and Neymar Jr., a renowned Brazilian footballer. The photo also shows Rihanna looking pregnant. People are sharing the image with claims that it is real and that these celebrities were recently together.
Verification
To fact-check it, DUBAWA used a Google reverse image search tool. This tool helps find where a photo first appeared online or if it has been changed. The search pointed to some suspicious social media pages, as found here. Another page also suggested that AI might have generated the image.
A visual analysis of the faces of Ronaldo and Neymar in the viral picture also shows that they appear synthetic compared to the original photos of the former Real Madrid and Barcelona stars.
The lighting on each person’s face and body is different, which shows that they were not all standing in the same place at the same time. The men’s expressions are stiff and lack natural detail. The photo shows Chris Brown, but the two remaining are not Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar Jr.
We found that the photo has never appeared on any official news website or any verified page of the celebrities shown. There is no record of Rihanna, Chris Brown, and Cristiano Ronaldo ever posing together like this at any event.
DUBAWA also utilized an AI image detector tool, ImgDetect, which confirmed that the image is most likely generated by artificial intelligence (AI) with a probability of 97%.
Lastly, we checked the social media pages of Rihanna, Chris Brown, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Neymar Jr. None of them posted this picture, and no trusted media outlet reported this meeting. That confirms the image is not real.
Conclusion
The viral photo of a pregnant Rihanna with Chris Brown, Cristiano Ronaldo, and another man is unreal. It is AI-generated and was likely created to resemble a celebrity event. No proof supports the claim that these four people posed together in real life.
