BEYONCE ANNOUNCES PREGNANCY

Spread the love







The 29-year-old singer announced at last night’s MTV VMA Awards that she and husband Jay-Z are expecting their first child together.

And today her former Destiny’s Child bandmate Kelly Rowland came forward to publicly congratulate her friend.

She told America’s People magazine: ‘I have known for quite a while, and she’s happy, and Jay is happy, and that’s all that counts.

‘I think she’ll be an incredible mother, because she’s always been motherly. I think that she takes after so many traits from her mother. And I just think it’s going to be so natural for her. Its natural for her now!’

Last night Beyoncé debuted her baby bump in an orange Lanvin gown and told the assembled press: ‘I have a surprise!’

And the singer didn’t let her pregnancy prevent her from bringing the house down with an energetic performance.

She cheered on Jay-Z, who performed new single Otis with Kanye West, before taking to the stage herself.

Arriving onstage in a purple glittery blazer and black trousers by Dolce & Gabbana, the mother-to-be said: ‘I want you to feel the love that’s growing inside of me.’

After a fabulous performance of Love On Top that attracted a standing ovation from the audience, Beyoncé ripped open her jacket and proudly rubbed her baby bump.

Beyoncé performed at the Roseland Ballroom in New York on August 14, and covered up her stomach with a sheath of fabric that draped lightly across her protruding bump.

Beyoncé, who has won 16 Grammy awards, said in a recent interview that she feels she has achieved enough in her career to settle down and make family a priority.

‘When you’re young – 18 or 19 – you have the energy and drive. That’s the time to work as hard as you can,’ she told the September issue of In Style.

‘Now I’m a woman, and because I gave it my all, I can focus on my marriage.

‘I can decide I want to have kids. I can be the mother I want to be and dedicate myself to my children.’
