American pop queen, Beyoncé and her rap mogul husband, Jay Z, are expecting a set of twins the family have announced on the first day of Black History Month.
“We would like to share our love and happiness. We have been blessed two times over,” the 35-year-old singer wrote with photo of herself cradling her sizeable bump on Instagram on Wednesday.
“We are incredibly grateful that our family will be growing by two, and we thank you for your well wishes. – The Carters.”
Nothing is said about expected date of delivery.
The couple – who wed in 2008 – already share daughter Blue Ivy, 5.
Queen Bey broke the news of her first pregnancy during the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards by revealing her bump while performing one of her many hit songs.
With the announcement that the music royalty expecting an addition, social media went straight into overdrive.
Half a million Tweets about @Beyonce‘s surprise #twins announcement. It’s been 45 minutes. (Spiked at 17k Tweets per min.) ??

I like to think Beyoncé knew 2017 was going to be horrible and wanted to give America a pick me up. God bless the Carters.
