At 10:39 am PST on February 1st, the world was graced with the news that the queen is pregnant with twins! Disregard any thoughts of British royalty; Queen B announced her pregnancy via Instagram with a beautiful picture announcing her news. In the post Beyonce caresses her baby bump surrounded by flowers, captioning the photograph with: “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”.

After releasing her news, the photograph took the title of being the most liked picture on Instagram. Beyonce also trended #1 on Twitter, with half a million tweets in the first 45 minutes after the photograph was posted. In addition, other social media apps and platforms have bursted with the news of two new Carters.

Since then, on www.beyonce.com, her team has posted a series of maternity photos from her pregnancy and current days with Blue Ivy, her mother’s maternity photos, a recent maternity photoshoot with her twins, and more. Featured on the website are poems about her current feelings, surrounding maternity and the fact that she now has “three hearts”.

By the end of the year the world will not have four, but five Carters, which basically saves 2017. From here, the name guessing game begins, along with the wait for the birth of Beyonce’s twins.
