Beyoncé announced she is expecting twins
by sharing a picture of her bare baby bump on Instagram Wednesday
afternoon. "We would like to share our love and happiness. We have been
blessed two times over," Beyoncé and Jay Z
said in a joint statement. "We are incredibly grateful that our family
will be growing by two, and we thank you for your well wishes." The
couple, who tied the knot in 2008, are already
parents to 5-year-old
daughter Blue Ivy Carter.

Even the couple's famous fans—including Paris Hilton, DJ Khaled, Brie Larson, Rita Ora, Rihanna, Ryan Seacrest and Chrissy Teigen—shared congratulatory messages via social media.
Beyoncé shared more than a dozen new pregnancy photos via her website Thursday. The 35-year-old musician provided no additional context, other than telling fans, "I have three hearts." She also included a poem written by Somali-British poet Warsan Shire. "venus has flooded me, second planet from the sun, i wake up on her foamy shore," the poem read. "she wants to take me to meet my children. I've done this before i'm still nervous."

In addition to sharing new photos with fans, Beyoncé also released never-before-seen vintage pictures of her family. One of the images showed her in bed as she suffered from morning sickness during her pregnancy with Blue Ivy. Another image was taken on her birthday in 2015.
Beyoncé is up for nine awards at the 2017 Grammys; she has not said whether she will attend.
