Beyonce is about to become — Nalongo.
Beyonce and Jay Z announced Wednesday on Instagram that the superstar singer is pregnant with twins.
"We have been blessed two times over. We are incredibly grateful that our family will be growing by two," said a statement signed "The Carters," Jay Z's real last name.
The news accompanied a photo of Beyonce showing a baby bump while wearing just a bra, underwear and a veil, kneeling in front of a backdrop of flowers. The singer's representative did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The news triggered half a million tweets in 45 minutes, according to Twitter.
She and Jay Z were married in April 2008. Beyonce revealed in 2013 that she had suffered a miscarriage before Blue Ivy's birth.
In 2013, Beyonce told ABC News that she definitely "would like more children."
"I think my daughter needs some company. I definitely love being a big sister," she said, referring to little sister, Grammy-nominated singer Solange Knowles.
The news of the pregnancy comes a day after Pharrell Williams and his wife, Helen Lasichanh, confirmed they had welcomed triplets. Those babies join 8-year-old big brother Rocket.
