Beyonce has confirmed that she’s pregnant with her second and third child. That’s right. Queen Bey revealed her pregnancy on Instagram with a gorgeous photo cradling her growing baby bump and revealing that she’s having twins.

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

The beautiful floral announcement came with caption, “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 confirmed that “growing by two” does indeed mean Blue Ivy will be a big sister to twins. In early 2013, The “Drunk in Love” singer talked candidly with Shape magazine about expanding her family. She said, “I’ll probably start [trying to have another child] after this tour,” she said. “We’ll see if it happens.” Bey made her last public appearance in early November while performing at the “Get Out and Vote” concert rally for Hillary Clinton on the presidential campaign trail donning a pantsuit that would have hidden any speculation of a growing belly. Fans of the superstar singer celebrated the news of Yonce’s pregnancy on Twitter.
