Beyoncé just announced she's pregnant with twins

Hold up, Beyoncé Knowles is pregnant. The pop star announced Wednesday in an Instagram post that she and husband Sean Carter — or, as you might know him, the rapper Jay Z — are expecting twins. Photographic evidence was also provided, with Beyoncé looking fierce as usual:
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 CartersA photo posted by Beyoncé (@beyonce) on Feb 1, 2017 at 10:39am PST
The Carters have one child, 5-year-old daughter Blue Ivy Carter. The couple married in April 2008. No word yet on when the twins are due.
