The rumour mill is a wild place where crazy theories start, and usually without any evidence. So you can imagine the look on my face when I read on Twitter that Beyoncé is possibly pregnant again. It looked a little something like this...
But in the end curiosity got the better of me and I begrudgingly decided to do a little investigating to put the matter to rest.
So let's start with a recent video that was uploaded to Twitter of Beyoncé on stage during the On The Run II tour.
Beyoncé is really pregnant again.. and she’s about to be a mother of 4 WOW
Now I didn't really think anything was out of the ordinary until the little belly rub. I know, I know – does a belly rub really mean she's pregnant? Well, no. But also, let's remember that we've seen something a little similar when Bey revealed she was pregnant with Blue Ivy.
A Twitter user who attended the most recent show in Rome also had this to say afterwards.
I watched Beyonce perform in Rome, Italy TODAY. I’m just gonna hottake this right now .. She might be pregnant.
And when a video emerged of Beyoncé performing while sick, some fans were a little sceptical.
@Bey_Legion “Sick” that’s a funny way of putting it.
So naturally the rumours kind of blew up and got people talking.
I don’t want to think Beyoncé is pregnant but I think Beyoncé is pregnant
Us: “ARE YOU PREGNANT!?” Beyoncé:
How can Beyoncé be pregnant we don't even know if the twins are real or a figment of our collective imagination
And as another Twitter user pointed out, four is actually Beyoncé's lucky number.
Beyoncè is pregnant, tbh. y’all thought they would stop at 3 when their favorite number is 4?
If you're not sure what I'm talking about let me give you a brief rundown: Beyoncé, Jay, and Beyoncé's mom were all born on the 4th, Bey and Jay were married on the 4th in 2008 (8 divided by 2 is 4, as Beyoncé said herself), and Blue has the name "Ivy" because IV is the roman numeral for... you guessed it, the number four.
