Rihanna has revealed her maternal instincts after meeting her new niece.

The singer uploaded a series of photos to Twitter of herself and the baby spending time together.

One of the images was of the Bajan beauty cradling the child, with Rihanna adding:

"I can't get enough, I'm so in love."

The singer meanwhile was crowned the most desirable woman in the world at the weekend.

She picked up the award at the Guys Choice Awards in California on Sunday (June 8).

Rihanna said at the event: "Well, I mean, thank you for voting me for this at 26 because we all know it goes downhill from here. But this is a fun award, I appreciate it. Shout out to all the real men out there."
