JayZ, Beyonce announce that they are expecting twins

Beyoncé and Jay Z are expanding their family. This follows an announcement that the singer and rapper will be expecting not one, but two children.

Beyoncé, 35, confirmed her pregnancy with twins Wednesday on Instagram

We are incredibly grateful that our family will be growing by two,” the pair wrote, and “we thank you for your well wishes”.

The post, signed “The Carters”, has a photo of Beyonce with a baby bump, wearing lingerie and a veil.

The couple already have a daughter, Blue Ivy, who has just turned five.

Beyoncé and Jay Z previously welcomed daughter Blue Ivy, who recently turned five, in January 2012.

Blue Ivy most recently wowed crowds with her mom when the pair showed up together dressed like princesses to the MTV Music Awards. Blue’s dress cost a reported $11,000.

Beyoncé’s second pregnancy comes after the singer’s last fiery album, “Lemonade,” which focuses on an unfaithful partner. The album immediately sparked rumors that Jay Z may have cheated on the singer.
