Beyonce announced her pregnancy on social media on Thursday morning.
Pop Queen Beyonce is expecting twins, and she's kept it secret for quite a while.
The 35-year-old pop culture icon announced her pregnancy on Instagram on Thursday morning, saying: "We would like to share our love and happiness. We have been blessed two times over."
Rapper Jay Z and Beyonce already have a 5-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy.
The Carter family is getting a whole lot bigger. Beyonce is pregnant with twins. Queen Bey is having a baby! Or better yet, two babies.
Beyonce finished the post saying: "We are incredibly grateful that our family will be growing by two, and we thank you for your well wishes. - The Carters".

The post, which instantly gathered hundreds of thousands of likes, shared a picture of Beyonce surrounded by flowers and covered with a veil proudly showing off her growing belly.
"We would like to share our love and happiness. We have been blessed two times over," she wrote in the post.
The singer signed off the post as from "The Carters".
The twins will be the second and third child for the couple, who welcomed a daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, in 2012.
The Formation singer has previously said that, despite having a trophy cabinet full of Grammys and VMAs, being a mother is her "greatest accomplishment".
"Out of everything I've accomplished, my proudest moment hands down was when I gave birth to my daughter Blue," Beyoncé told Garage last year.
Beyoncé and Jay Z, who married in 2008, are notoriously private about the details of their home life, rarely granting personal interviews and keeping their daughter away from paparazzi lenses and big events.
With an early February announcement, it's unclear whether the Carters will be attending this year's VMAs, but it seems that, when 2018 comes around, they may just need a "plus three".
People are wondering whether this will affect her scheduled Coachella festival appearance. According to TMZ, Coachella producers were left in the dark about the pregnancy, and they're now unsure if the April show will go on.
