Destiny's child, indeed!
Fans worldwide were floored -- and thrilled -- when Beyonce unexpectedly announced her pregnancy at Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards in L.A. Clad in a loose, red Lanvin gown, the singer, 29, first rubbed her belly and told photographers the big news outside the show venue; her rep then confirmed it to Us Weekly.

Later, after a joyous onstage performance of "Love on Top," Beyonce unbuttoned her sequined D&G jacket and playfully rubbed her tiny bump once again. In the audience, dad-to-be Jay-Z (her hubby of three years) beamed as pal Kanye West congratulated him.

"She's close to four months along," an insider close to the music supercouple tells Us of the normally private star. "She wasn't going to announce it but she is so excited she couldn't hold it in."

And the first-time dad Jay-Z (real name: Shawn Carter), 41, is just as pumped. "Jay is ecstatic and over the moon," the insider says. "He really wanted this so badly."
So far, the Grammy-winning duo haven't found out the gender of their first child -- and are keeping other details close to the vest. "They barely told anyone...They kept it really secret until they were sure," the pal explains, "and now she simply couldn't wait to tell the world!"
The baby news does complicate their professional lives, though -- shooting for Beyonce's high-profile film project A Star Is Born has been delayed, while Jay-Z has a big-time tour to deal with.
"They will have to make adjustments," admits the source, "but this is worth it!"

26What a Blessing!
im so happy for u guys
I can't believe people still actually watch this Freak Show. http://bit.ly/pbZ1nH
FIRST TIME DAD MY-EYE!!!! That DEADBEAT sperm donor HAS ANOTHER CHILD!!!!! Shame on US for ignoring an INNOCENT HUMAN LIFE!!!!! Both of them are SHAMEFUL for doing that to an innocent little boy!!!!! (I want sooo much to be happy for Beyonce -- but to completely disregard a child -- a CHILD people!! -- is despicable!!) :(
You guys...the source says she is close to 4 months. So she is 3 months along. For some of you who didn't show until later...well maybe it's because you had too much gut that concealed the pregnancy until it was advanced...just saying.

Omg!! Stop hating and just be happy for the both of them, it is there first baby together who cares if thats not his first baby.. (we havent seen any other baby). Congrats Jayz and B we have been waiting on this for a while.
will it be born with a hair weave??
Congrats!
I dont really know what she sees in him?! Oh well, congrads... I guess.
Almost 3 months? She looks more like almost 5 months. Most people aren't showing tht much at under 3 months are they?
She could be 3 months. I was showing at three months. I tried to keep it quiet for a while, but not very successful. I'm a small person, maybe that's why. Don't know really.
Cheers to a great couple and to bringing their child into this world. JayZ's a great catch! Now they can spoil their children like they do themselves. Congrats.
I don't think he's a first time dad.
@Krystal unless twins run in her family or she used fertility treatments as has ben rumored it's un likely and they would know by three months if they were having twins but told by her doctors to wait to say anything until she's further along as twins are a high risk pregnancy and she deffinately looks further along than three months first pregnancies don't show till about 4 1/2 or five months
It could be 3 months people...She could be having twins and they dont know yet..Very obvious..Some people are smaller at 3 months, some are bigger!
if u look at the pics form the roseland ball concert..it was pic of her rubing and holdind her lil belly....she preggers congrats
