Beyonce’s twins news has online going wild
Print Edition
BEYONCE is pregnant and expecting twins with her husband, rap mogul Jay Z.
The pop star, who already has a 5-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy, with Jay Z, announced the news to her more than 92 million followers on Instagram on Wednesday.
Clad in panties and a bra under a flowing veil, Beyonce posted a picture of herself kneeling beside a floral arrangement, her hands cradling her rounded belly. “We would like to share our love and happiness. We have been blessed two times over,” the 35-year-old singer wrote.
“We are incredibly grateful that our family will be growing by two, and we thank you for all your well wishes,” she added, signing with Jay Z.
Within hours, the post generated nearly 7 million likes on Instagram, surpassing the record set by fellow pop star Selena Gomez who as of Wednesday had 6.3 million likes for a shot last year of her sipping a soft drink.
Beyonce announced the pregnancy a little more than nine months after her last album “Lemonade” — in which she hinted that Jay Z was unfaithful.
She released “Lemonade,” an album intertwined with a film, on April 23. One lyric warns an unfaithful man of a “final warning” that he’s “gonna lose your wife” if his behavior doesn’t change.
A sullen Jay Z appears at the end of the film to embrace her, suggesting reconciliation.
“Lemonade” is in the running for album of the year at the Grammy Awards on February 12, where Beyonce leads the nominations.
Her baby bump will be more evident two months from now, when she is set for the first time to headline Coachella, the two-weekend festival in southern California that is among the world’s premier live music events.
Beyonce unveiled her first pregnancy at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards, where she gave repeated hints before dropping her jacket to show her belly.
Beyonce has openly spoken about the pain of a miscarriage before she gave birth to Blue Ivy, saying the heartbeat she had heard during her first pregnancy was “the most beautiful music I ever heard in my life.”
Twitter reported half a million tweets on Beyonce within the first 45 minutes as she became the world’s top trending item.
