Beyonce has shared the exciting news she is pregnant with twins with husband Jay Z.
The 35-year-old took to Instagram this morning to confirm the rumour, with a photo of her bump.
“We would like to share our love and happiness. We have been blessed two times over. We are incredibly grateful that our family will be growing by two, and we thank you for your well wishes. – The Carters.”
Beyoncé’s mother Tina Knowles also took to Instagram to share her daughter’s floral announcement and congratulate her daughter on the big news.
“WOW I don’t have to keep the secret anymore I am soooo happy God is so good twin blessings,” she captioned the picture.
The couple – who married in 2008 – already share five-year-old daughter Blue Ivy.
In 2011 when Beyonce discovered she was expecting baby Blue Ivy, she admitted she found it hard to keep the news she was pregnant a secret, and announced it during the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards by revealing her bump while performing “Love On Top.”
Speaking in her TV show Life Is But a Dream, Beyonce said: “Being pregnant was very much like falling in love. You are so open. You are so overjoyed. There’s no words that can express having a baby growing inside of you, so of course you want to scream it out and tell everyone.”
In 2013, Beyonce revealed she had suffered a tragic miscarriage prior to the arrival of her daughter.
She said at the time: “About two years ago, I was pregnant for the first time. And I heard the heartbeat, which was the most beautiful music I ever heard in my life.”
“I picked out names. I envisioned what my child would look like. I was feeling very maternal.”
“I flew back to New York to get my check up – and no heartbeat. Literally the week before I went to the doctor, everything was fine, but there was no heartbeat.”
“I went into the studio and wrote the saddest song I’ve ever written in my life. And it was actually the first song I wrote for my album. And it was the best form of therapy for me, because it was the saddest thing I’ve ever been through.”
