I was just saying to myself that Beyoncé had been kind of quiet as of late. Still, I chalked it up to her having just come off tour. But apparently, this period of “quiet” in the world of Beyoncé meant something else. She’s pregnant! And not just pregnant, the Carter family is growing by two. She’s having twins. She shared the news on her Instagram page.

For a minute, I thought I had read it incorrectly. But then Ms. Tina confirmed with a message of her own.

Talk about news. We’re sure she’ll be breaking the internet any moment now. As our contributing writer, Charing Ball said, “Well isn’t that a nice introduction to Black History month.”
Congratulations to The Carters!
