15 Most WTF Facts Surrounding Beyonce's Pregnancy

It's the photo that has captured the heart of the nation - Beyonce revealed via Instagram she is pregnant with twins. In typical Queen Bey style, she posted the image to Twitter unexpectedly and not just the BeyHive, but the entire internet went into a major meltdown. Writer Laura Rankin tweeted, "This picture is a powerful statement on bodies, maternity and the sacred. Beyonce continues to push us to reimagine womanhood. A feminist icon."

The Formation singer and her husband Jay-Z already have one daughter together, 5-year-old Blue Ivy Carter, who is reportedly "excited" about the idea of becoming a big sister for the first time. Beyonce previously told Vogue, "I feel like I have something that has grounded me so much more. Family has always been important."

Their announcement was a breath of fresh air following months of mostly political commentary on social media - now we have something else to talk about. When one of the most famous women in the world falls pregnant, there is always going to be plenty of speculation, rumors, and theories - here are just a few of the most WTF facts surrounding the pregnancy of the year.

15 This Eerie Tweet Predicted The Announcement 

One of the freakiest things that blew up when Queen Bey announced the twins was this tweet from a fan account" @Beyoncefan666. On July 22nd, 2016, (194 days before the announcement) they accurately guessed Beyonce would announce a pregnancy. The first day of that month in 2017 - boom there was the announcement!

On the 28th January - four days before the announcement - the account also tweeted, "Beyoncé is pregnant. She told me." Either "Beyoncefan666" is actually Beyonce herself (as Bey is not active on her own Twitter account) or this is the freakiest coincidence. Another prediction from the account was on November 7th, 2016 when they tweeted: "I would tell you all to go and vote for Hillary but it doesn't matter because I already know that trump has won." That one had a 50/50 chance of being correct but still… follow this account for freaky predictions!

14 Fans Already Believe The Twins Will Save Us All

According to the BeyHive - the twins are here to save the world! The tweets poured in from fans saying: "Beyonce looked at this mess of 2016/2017 and was 'hold up, I'll make more of me to combat this'" and "They will save us. These twins. Will. Save us."

The Daily Show also suggested Jay-Z and Beyonce have special Jedi powers as they referenced Star Wars in a post that read: "The Empire has taken power, the Dark Side is rising, and suddenly our Queen is carrying twins!" which is a reference to twins Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa. Wait - so Jay-Z is actually Darth Vader? This is a lot of pressure for the twins considering they were conceived just a few months ago - but the kind of crazy theories they will have to get used to.

13 Beyonce Is Already Five Months Pregnant 

Beyonce is reportedly "four to five months pregnant" according to sources close to the star and that blooming bump on her Instagram post pretty much confirms this. Many stars prefer to keep their pregnancy under wraps until after the first trimester (around 10-12 weeks), as after this period the risk of miscarriage drops dramatically.

Beyonce's growing hive will weigh around 10 ounces and be about six-and-a-half inches in height - although they may be smaller due to them being twins. As Beyonce is 35-years-old, she had more chance of falling pregnant with twins as older parents usually land the multiple birth card. Before 35 the chances of twins are 14.87 of every 1.000 births and after 35 this rises to 21.7 per 1000 maternities. Beyonce has been trying for a little brother or sister for Blue Ivy for awhile so it's no surprise she's delighted with the news.

12 Her Instagram Post Is Now A Record Breaker 

Move over Selena Gomez but Beyonce just landed the most liked Instagram post of all time. Currently, less than 24 hours after the post appeared online, the floral pic has bought home 7.8 million likes (and still climbing) - knocking Gomez off the top spot with her coca cola post that has 6.3 million likes. Her Instagram fan base also grew by 1 million new likes.

Beyonce can be seen holding her bump under a wreath of flowers and wearing a green veil, with an Agent Provocateur bra and satin knickers, looking at the camera all powerful and Beyonce-like. The caption she added read: "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." Bey then updated her website with more pregnancy shots with an album titled "I Have Three Hearts."

11 There Were 500,000 Tweets In 45 Minutes About Beyonce's Pregnancy 

According to official Twitter data, at one point there were 17,000 tweets per minute flooding in about Beyonce's pending twins. From the very first tweet to 45 minutes later, there had been 500,000 tweets mentioning the words "Beyonce", "Pregnant" or "Twins." The top trend for the day was "twins", followed by "Beyonce," "Blue" and "Beyhive." Proving the power of Beyonce is still very much alive.

When Beyonce announced her first pregnancy in 2011 at the VMAs, she broke the world record for tweets per second. Yes really. After performing Love on Top, Bey announced, "I want you to feel the love that's growing inside me", dropped her mic, opened her jacket and rubbed her belly. 8,868 Beyonce Tweets were sent per second which eclipsed other world news like Osama Bin Laden's death the same year.

10 This Baby May Have Just Saved Their Marriage

When Beyonce dropped her album Lemonade last year, certain lyrics drove the world crazy with speculation. Beyonce sang about Jay Z's infidelity, her regret getting married, and hints there is "another woman" in her husband's life. Fans were worried this could be the end of hip-hop's greatest love story (and we are only just recovering from the Brangelina split).

Luckily the pair sought out therapy to help them through their problems. During their On The Run tour together, Wet Paint reported: “Here's the situation: When these two aren't with Blue and bringing down the house onstage, they are Skyping with a therapist.” Well, it sure worked as it appears the pair have reconciled and managed to procreate together once again. The twins are not just here to save the world - but to save the marriage of their parents too.

9 This Could Be The Real Reason Behind Jay-Z's Fall Out With Kanye 

Jay-Z and fellow rapper Kanye West go way back, they have been best buddies for longer than a decade, so when West announced things had gone sour between the two, the world was shocked. During his Life of Pablo Tour,  West told the audience at KeyArena in Seattle, "(Jay-Z didn't) call me, after the robbery, and say, 'How you feelin'?' You wanna know how I'm feelin'? Come by the house.”

However, now we have discovered just how far into her pregnancy Beyonce really is, the October robbery would have been the last thing on their minds. The couple lost a child before, very early on in the pregnancy, so Jay-Z probably had so many worries on his mind that he didn't reach out to his close friend. Everything should be back to normal soon though as rapper and close friend Jeezy told The Real, “They're brothers. You gotta let brothers work out brotherly stuff. They got history together, let 'em handle it, they grown men. They gon' fix it, they gon' work it out.”

8 The Twins Could Cost Beyonce Millions In Loss Of Earnings 

Even showbiz mothers are still under a lot of pressure to balance a career and being in their children's lives. Beyonce's Formation World Tour was one of her shortest with 49 shows performed compared to 132 shows for the Mrs Carter tour and 109 shows for the I Am… world tour. This is likely because Beyonce had not finished yet as her style is to take a break then tour the show all over again. Since this new addition has come along, these plans will very likely be put on hold as she will certainly have her hands full.

It is unknown whether the Run The World singer will still headline at Coachella this year. TMZ reported that festival organizers had no idea she was heavily pregnant - until they checked her Instagram of course. With a net worth of $450 million it's unlikely this maternity leave with bankrupt her.

7 Beyonce Will Be Very Anxious About Her Pregnancy 

In her documentary Life Is But A Dream, Beyonce revealed, "About two years ago, I was pregnant for the first time. And I heard the heartbeat, which was the most beautiful music I ever heard in my life. I picked out names. I envisioned what my child would look like. I was feeling very maternal." She then detailed her heartbreak, "I flew back to New York to get my check up - and no heartbeat. Literally the week before I went to the doctor, everything was fine, but there was no heartbeat." Losing her first child would explain why Beyonce has waited so long to announce she is expecting.

TMZ also reported that her pregnancy with Blue Ivy was a 'difficult' one and she was always 'requiring bed rest." This time with twins she might need even more extra help than before. points out that the star's second time around with twins could require even more care.

6 Beyonce Showed She Was Pregnant - And Nobody Noticed

Beyonce showed us she was pregnant for a split second in her Ivy Park advert. If we were true beady-eyed fans, we would have all realized that when she pulls her hood up she has a bulging pregnancy bump. Alas, we didn't spot it - shame on us all.

Beyonce revealed in a previous promo for the sports brand, which was a collaboration between herself and Topshop, that 'Ivy Park' is the mental place she goes to when facing tough times. She said, "There are things I'm still afraid of. When I have to conquer those things, I still go back to that park. Before I hit the stage, I go back to (Ivy Park). When it was time for me to give birth, I went back to that park. The park became a state of mind. The park became my strength. The park is what made me who I am."

5 This Tweet About Beyonce and President Trump Made Everyone Think

Standup comedian Grainne Maguire tweeted: "There are more black people inside Beyoncé right now than in Donald Trumps entire cabinet." Referencing the fact that President Trump has only appointed one African-American member to his cabinet, Department of Housing and Urban Development, Ben Carson. So the tweet is shockingly accurate.

Beyonce endorsed Hillary Clinton during the campaign trial and at her a concert in Ohio, along with her husband Jay-Z, they put across a strong message to the crowd to vote Clinton. Beyonce wore an "I'm with her" t-shirt but not even her star power could save the world from a Trump presidency. The Carters are close to the Obama family, Beyonce performed during his inauguration and the couples regularly hang out together. That's one squad we would kill to be part of.

4 There Is Already Talk (Again) About The Illuminati

The “Beyonce and Jay-Z are the Illuminati” conspiracy theory has been doing the rounds for many years now. Both have been seen throwing up the infamous triangle shape with their hands which is associated with the Illuminati (although you could argue this is the diamond from Jay-Z's RocNation label).  These conspiracists even claim that the name they gave their daughter, Blue Ivy, actually stands for Born Living Under Evil, Illuminati's Very Youngest. Quite creative these conspiracists. Jay-Z himself on his track

Conspiracists even claim that the name they gave their daughter, Blue Ivy, actually stands for Born Living Under Evil, Illuminati's Very Youngest. Now the Carters are a family of five these rumors have been ignited once again. According to conspiracy theorists, her pose on Instagram symbolizes the triangle, rulers are believed to be at the top of the pyramid, the middle part symbolizes different layers of society and ordinary people are said to be at the bottom.

3 We Might Not Have Any New Beyonce Music Till 2020

The BeyHive will have to brace themselves - as it could be quite a long wait until we get our hands on any new Beyonce material. There was an almost three-year-long wait between her album 4 and Beyonce as she took time out of the studio to be a full-time mother to Blue Ivy. So if we are expecting this same wait again, that will take us all the way till 2020.

Beyonce's last live appearence, before she puts her feet up, could be her Grammy's live appearance which takes place in just two weeks. An insider told US Weekly, "She announced it this way before Grammy fittings and rehearsals, as she knew it would get out. She couldn't repeat the same debut on the show like the (2011) VMAs and didn't want it to take away from her Grammy wins and performance."

2 Chrissy Teigen Claims She Is Beyonce's 'Best Friend' 

Blue Ivy's godmother is Oprah Winfrey, also in the running for the coveted status were BFF Gwyneth Paltrow, Rihanna and Kelly Rowland. This year, Beyonce's celebrity friends will be climbing other themselves to take on the coveted role and one person who is clearly desperate to place herself in the running is Chrissy Teigen.

The model, TV personality and wife of John Legend tweeted, "Congrats to my best friend Beyonce I love you so much." Fans wrote back, "I like Chrissy but come on girl we all know she's not (your) best friend" and another wrote, "Best friend? calm down… " In true Teigen style, she replied to each tweet confirming that she most definitely, without question, is Beyonce's best friend and nobody should argue with her. We will always love her sense of humor.

1 Beyonce Had To Get Naked To Stop Any Rumors 

In a very un-Beyonce like moment, she posted photos to her official website appearing completely naked and with her full blooming bump on show. The stunning collection shows her vulnerable and feminine - these personal photos were non-existent during her pregnancy with Blue Ivy and that's what initially sent the rumor mill into overdrive.

In 2011, when she was pregnant with Blue Ivy, Beyonce sat in a chair so she could be interviewed by an Australian TV show host. The video went viral as it appeared her bump "folded" when she sat down in the chair and many accused her of using a surrogate instead of carrying her own child. During an interview with Katie Couric, Beyonce said, "You know there are certain things that are so far, it doesn't even affect me. I am cool, it is so ridiculous and over the top."

Conspiracy theorists are going to have a tough time dismissing she's pregnant with the twins thanks to this collection of nude photos.
