Tabloids and gossip websites have been agog with speculation that Mrs Carter is in the family way again and columnists have gone into overdrive since Beyoncé’s midriff was completely camouflaged by swathes of fabric and a large belt at last Monday’s Met Gala.
Speculation grew after the event when those who had studied photos of the star on the red carpet claimed a small bump was visible under her floor-length Givenchy gown.
The New York Post claims it spoke to “multiple sources” that say she is, in fact, expecting. But others say that the rumours of a pregnancy are “silly.”
Earlier this month, Beyoncé told “Good Morning America” that she would like her daughter, Blue Ivy, to have a sibling.
“I would like more children,” she said. “I think my daughter needs some company … at some point, when it’s supposed to happen.”
Beyoncé also gushed to The Mirror about Blue Ivy, admitting that motherhood has changed her life.
“Definitely I would like to have more children. Motherhood has changed everything. You see things a bit differently after you give birth and my biggest job now is to protect my child,” she said, adding: “After giving birth there’s a moment of rediscovery when you are making sure you still have goals and take care of yourself as a woman.”
Beyoncé and Jay-Z, 44, welcomed daughter Blue Ivy in January 2012. Last week, a London concertgoer posted a YouTube video featuring the singer with a slightly less-than-taut midsection, which could either be the after effects of eating a delicious meatball sub, or the result of a little baby Beyoncé growing inside.
