Beyonce nearly broke the Internet last week when she announced her pregnancy. But, she didn’t stop there. The “Lemonade” singer also revealed she and Jay-Z are expecting not one, but two babies. That’s right, twins. Now, fans have one more question that remains unanswered: what’s the gender of the two little bundles of joy?
The Big News:
Although it’s probably safe to say Beyonce’s mother, Tina Lawson, and her sister, Solange were told of the pregnancy before the big announcement, apparently, there’s one person who had no clue. During a brief interview with Essence, Beyonce’s father, Mathew Knowles learned of the pregnancy like the rest of us. “I got a first text and I kept saying ‘Why is this person saying Congratulations?’ I didn’t know myself!”
He admitted when he called his daughter, “She sounded a little tired because she’s been working on the Grammy performance.” Now, he knows exactly why.
Letting the Cat Out of the Bag?:
Mathew Knowles went on to discuss the strategic way his daughter chose to share the news with fans. But, when he mentioned Blue Ivy’s reaction to the pregnancy, he may have let the cat out of the bag.
“That was very smart that she did it rather than someone else, the media, doing it. I think there’s strategy. I think there’s more to come… I’m extremely proud, extremely happy both for Jay and for her. And Blue is gonna have brothers and sisters. She is already excited.”
His reference to “brothers and sisters” leads many fans to wonder if Queen Bey is expecting fraternal twins. Although she has yet to confirm or deny the speculation, fans agree it would be befitting.
