When I was covering the photos of Beyonce, Jay-Z and Blue Ivy in Antibes last week, this is what I wrote: “If I worked for a tabloid, I would use the multiple photos of Beyonce touching her stomach as ‘evidence’ that Bey and Jay are having a band-aid baby to save their marriage.” Guess what? Stomach-touching is absolutely the most valid form of Bump Watch. And I should totally work for In Touch. During their Paris show on Friday night, Jay-Z maybe/kind of said that Beyonce is knocked up again.
Announcing milestones on stage is their thing! Jay Z sparked brand new buzz that Beyonce is pregnant with their second child when he changed lyrics to a song during the couple’s last On the Run show in Paris on Friday, Sept. 12.
The rapper, 44, made the possible announcement while performing his hit song “Beach Is Better,” rapping, “Cause she pregnant with another one.”
The tantalizing clue flips the conversation about the couple, who have endured serious marriage trouble over the past several months — with divorce even a possibility — multiple sources have told Us. They somewhat quelled fears when they shared a kiss on stage after Beyonce’s Michael Jackson Vanguard Video Award performance at the MTV Video Music Awards late last month and packed on the PDA at the 2014 Made In America Festival over Labor Day weekend.
Beyonce, 33, and Jay Z tied the knot in April 2008 and welcomed daughter Blue Ivy in January 2012. Like her husband’s supposed admission, the singer too revealed they were expecting a child on stage when she rubbed her baby bump after singing “Love on Top” at the 2011 VMAs.
Sources also say that Jay and Bey were acting particularly loved-up during the show, but that might have just been because the HBO cameras were all around.
So what’s the over/under on Beyonce being pregnant? Let me ask it a different way: what are the chances that in the next nine months, Beyonce and Jay will debut a new baby? Someone might be pregnant and maybe it’s Beyonce. Maybe it’s a surrogate. Maybe it’s a pillow. Maybe people just misheard Jay-Z. Maybe Jay and Bey are just the biggest stunt-queens in the world and this is just the last gasp of an empire. Who even knows at this point?

I wait for pillow baby no. 2 news with bated breath.
This one shall be named Blue Ivy Dot Ai Ai.
No it will be named “purple surfboard”
Lol @LK
I think that Beyoncé would be sure to let everyone know she’s really carrying a baby for Baby Carter Number Two. Maybe do the coy thing right through and let people say ‘I knew it, a pillow again’ and then hit us with hardcore evidence. Maybe not a ‘leaked’ birthing video, but something more concrete than a backlit pregnant figure or a cutaway from her face to a bump.
Not that I care particularly whether she carried/carries her own babies, nor indeed if they make any more. Blue Ivy is adorable, though.
I was going to crack a joke that it was only ‘pillow talk’. Seriously though, congrats.
hee hee
“Cushion Carter”?
Put “Blanket” Jackson and “Cushion” Carter together and then all you’ll need is a “Duvet” Anniston. You’ve redone your bedroom.
@fartsack. duvet theroux . nice and French and klassy like
Maybe she’ll get a better fake bump this time. And get lessons in how to sit down like a real pregnant woman.

i need a pic of the surrogate holding her belly to be sure
Yes, they really want to maintain their empire…
OMG these two love attention more than I love cheese and that’s saying a lot
Sorry, love for cheese can not be outdone.
You guys don’t have to split the difference. Doesn’t some of this qualify as cheese?
That joke was no Gouda.
first laugh out loud of the morning
Charlotte, your comment just makes me bleu.
Their story has a lot of holes in it.
(sorry, I’m really bad at this stuff).
Munsters, all of you.
I feel like they are just gonna string us along with this……
I’m feta up with all of it!
Why do you care if the Bey is pregnant? It’s nacho business!
Meh, mostly I just don’t give Edam.
Oh, the Carters. What WILL they fondue next?
We can gossip all we want, but the truth is we don’t know Jack.
hot damn you guys that was awesome
Good stuff guys!
Good stuff everyone – they are so dislikable in so many ways, I don’t see how they have fans – and their music just isn’t that great; nothing groundbreaking about it – you’d think they had more talent than Beethoven given the amount of attention they garner.
You guys are too funny. I thoroughly enjoyed that! =)
Kraft singles: fake, wrapped in plastic
Lol!
I feel like her dad was right they punked us all with those rumors of a breakup so that we would pay attention to their concerts and her VMA. It also had the added effect of deflecting from the elevator mess.
That being said I believe she is pregnant and was pregnant before. Celebitchy people lets not fall into the Blind Gossip/CDAN habit of doubling down on conspiracy theories rather than admitting we might be wrong.
+1
I feel like Matthew was telling the truth as well, lots of people disagreed because he hasn’t been in her life in a few years but he taught her everything he knows. Bey and Jay work that PR. I mean congrats……
She was pregnant before. The photos on the beach with her naked bump don’t lie. Those were for real, not sure why this ridiculous pillow pregnancy nonsense still hangs on. She’s a big, healthy woman in her early 30’s. There’s no need to fake a pregnancy. On another site there’s a photo of Jay-Z behind Beyonce on this tour and you can see a baby bump. She’s probably about three months along.
She was pregnant. She had the baby. I feel like the only way everyone will believe that she had her own baby will be when HBO does a hyped up special on her pushing #2 out, like ‘B and Z: On The Bun’.
And then STILL you people will claim the network CGI’d the baby coming out her vagina.
I’m not saying that she wasn’t pregnant, I honestly don’t know…but these pictures on the beach weren’t proof. That was not a huge belly.
So the pillow was just for “extra”? That’s pretty phony, she must think her fans are really dumb
Those beach pics just looked like she was pushing her stomach out on purpose. I can achieve that look easily.
These beach pictures show a big pregnant belly

She did the video for Countdown pregnant. There was an actual bump. The same video also puts to rest that the WOMAN in Single Ladies is indeed a WOMAN, as she’s in that video as well.
I don’t know why this rumor persists (the above jokes notwithstanding because they were funny). We’ve all seen optical illusions, but somehow her blouse sitting oddly is definitive proof! Jeez.
Beyoncé knows the paps are taking photos in those pics. She is hiding Blue Ivy’s face, which shows she is aware the paps are there. Beyoncé is very protective of her child and only releases photos of her daughter she has approved of. That being said, hand across her stomach is sure to get everyone on “bump watch”. Their tour is ending soon and what better way to keep their names in the news. It is working
+100000
Well if she is pregnant congrats to both of them. BIC is too cute and will be a great big sister.
I think she is and that’s a good way to announce it. On their show, to the fans who love them enough to come. Last gasp of an empire? You wish.
But this means Beyoncé and duchess Kate will be pregnant twinsies. You know Kim hates this right?
Gotta go before this thread gets messy
It must be a crazy feeling to know you have the power to get the entire world talking about you just by changing 6 words in a song. Wonder what that would be like.
They are the king and queen of stunt. They live and breathe to stunt. It’s exhausting.
This.
^abillion times
I think the better question is who even cares at this point
But here you are….. It’s Beyoncé. More people care than you think
*raises hand* Me! I care 😊
Me too!!! I can’t wait for Little Surfbort 😀
Lol @ Little Surfbort!
Artimis, did you change the spelling of your name?
No that’s somebody else 🙂
And I care too!
I won’t believe this until I see the first pillow crumple with my own eyes!!!!!
Lol! This. I mean how convenient time for her to get pregnant…
Totally convenient time to get pregnant. I think she faked the first one for vanity, but this IS a bandaid baby and she got it the old fashion way. If in fact she is actually pregnant. I can see her playing it something like that. I think she’s going to hang on to Jay Z by the skin of her teeth as long as she can by any means necessary.
I’m holding out for the heavily pregnant, hop-skip-jump into waiting SUV. 😉
Phase II of generating publicity for the tour; Divorce for the US leg, Pregnant for the Euro part. They’re evil geniuses!
I actual thought she was when I saw the vacation pics..
congrats if true..
I was at the Paris concert last night. It was a great show (Beyoncé has such a great body!) but it all seemed so… rehearsed. HBO was filming so I guess that explains a lot of things. At one point the message was “forgiveness is the greatest form of love”. At the end of the show they were all loved up, sating how much they loved and admired each other and leaving the scene holding each other, but I don’t know if it is “real” or “show”. Whatever happens, if they divorce, I hope they keep it “classy”. They build an empire together and they have a dautgher, no need to go for blood…
After hearing that I don’t think they will divorce. Their pride won’t let them. Us gossipy peasants can’t be right!
I was also at last night’s show in Paris and I also thought the “intimacy” between the 2 was beyond Staged. Beyonce is the queen of the loving look.
I also was blown away at how much lighter/better beyonce was when she was singing and dancing by herself. I got zero chemistry from her numbers with jay z and she just seemed flat. I don’t think it has anything to do wih their marriage – but I don’t think there’s any joy in their own stage interactions.
Ok, interesting comment, good to get feedback from how they both are separately and together on stage performing.
I haven’t seen their show, but after they kept their relationship and marriage SOOOO private for all those years, it seems really odd to base a tour around it. Plus the endless documenting of their life together. I wonder what changed, that they felt the need to be so public about everything now.
Their records sales went down like a led zeppelin? The initial pimping of their marriage seemed to coincide with the underwhelming reaction to “4”, ‘cos privacy can go f**k itself if your album is sticking to record store shelves like superglue…
If you went to her concert, I assume you’re a fan or you at least like her music so her being rehearsed shouldn’t come as a surprise tbh. She even practices her facial expressions, her ‘hello [country] how y’all doing tonight?’ greetings. There is no room for spontaneity!
I don’t think it’s a bad thing because she puts on a good show and there is a lot of heart in what she does. She enjoys herself when performing. I don’t mind bands like Gossip either who rock out and who are crazy onstage and ‘real’ I suppose. As long as the show is good, I’m good.
I don’t mind it either, Artemis – I’m not critiquing it! I like artists who do their homework. Just saying I wouldn’t read anything into it one way or another – their shows are strictly business.
(Am not a partic fan was given some hospitality tix so took them – I liked it! Would see a Beyoncé show in the future based on what I saw of her.)
Ps I did think the big screens were not live feeds – beyonce looked nipped in and air brushed to death in them when I compared to the actual woman standing in front of me (who has a killer bod but was a good bit thicker than what was displayed on the screens)
Last grasp at an empire? Lol. These two could retire right now and disappear and they will still be spoken about forever.
They are living legends.
Ha ha, I love how quick people are to call it on behalf of performers they like by declaring them legends. You’d be amazed at how quickly some people are forgotten after they go away. It takes more to be a legend than to be famous, or even a superstar.
“They are living legends. ” You wish/they wish. Bye Felicia!
Well we shall see won’t we? 🙂
They haven’t been doing this long enough to be legends. They need another 20 years first. But they have potential.
They’re very famous – right now. And the bulk of that is due to their own efforts – it has nothing to do with fan enthusiasm. It’s pretty laughable to refer to them as living legends. Very few qualify or have qualified for that description.
Beyoncé might be pregnant?????!!!!!!!!!!! OMG, I’m all atingle………not.
Congrats Jay and Bey!
And Blue Ivy!
Hey Goodnames!! 😘 I’ve missed you guys all week. Ever since school started I havent been able to post as much. I missed my students though so I’m happy 😊 Hope you’re doing well.
And yes, congrats to Blue Ivy! She’s a big sis now.
I don’t believe she is pregnant since she has been seen drinking alcohol.If she is pregnant again congrats to my homegirl.#Houstonproud
Also I never believed the tabloid breakup rumor BS.Every story I had read before a few years ago about Brad and Angelina.
The difference is that there was never video footage of a family fight with Brad and Angelina. That’s what gives these rumors more traction. I still think their marriage is not all puppy dogs and roses. I think there is a weird dynamic that will come out someday years from now in Bey’s tell-all book when she finally leaves Jay but I’m thinking another ten years or more. But I’m just spit ballin’. What do I know?
Congrats jay and bey! love You
I’m one of those people who believed she didn’t fake her first pregnancy. I mean, yeah she used that stupid collapsible bump but she was probably just trying to show off the bump for pr when she was still not showing.
Anyway, congrats to them! Blue Ivy is so cute and Jay and Bey seems like a good, hands on parents. Plus the tour is ending, she can fully rest and enjoy her pregnancy.
I believe this too. She used to have a very tiny waist. I think she didn’t show very much or as soon as she would’ve liked so she wore some padding so she could enjoy maternity clothes and be papped with a big belly. Pics of her announcing the pregnancy show her with a fuller face and fatter nose which happens to a lot of women.
Even now despite the vegan dieting she has some back fat, her hips are rounder (like Kim Kardashian), her butt is fuller, and she is not quite as taut as she once was although still beautiful.
You can see in the “Dance With You” video she has a weird belly. Beyonce was totally pregnant and carried Blue Ivy. She didn’t do herself any favors with the faux bump.
That’s too weird. No one does that… Surrogate all the way.
Then why do padded faux pregnancy bumps exist? Actors use them all the time and sometimes expectant dads wear them to get a sense of what moms are going through. So yes, contrary to your assertion, some people do that. There’s no denying that her body has changed.
An actress wearing a faux bump for a role or a husband wearing one to get an idea of how his pregnant wife feels is hardly the same as a pregnant woman strapping one on to fool everyone into thinking her ‘bump’ is larger than it is…. especially if that woman is a celebrity, being photographed and going on television.
I don’t think she would wear one just to make it bigger. Did you see the pillow fold? That was a thick foam. She’s conceited enough to think her natural “baby bump” is the best ever, whether big or small. Only reason she would fake the bump size is because the whole thing is fake. I would be happy to have a surrogate, i don’t judge her if it was a vanity choice either, and I’m not saying she’s not a real mom of course, but that was a terrible costume! Use gel instead of foam next time !
that’s definitely jays kid though. Personally I don’t see the resemblance to bey
Something nice: Beyoncé is ethereally gorgeous and god I love her legs!
Maybe this new baby is indeed growing inside her.
Blue looks a lot like Beyonce and Jay Z. Perfect mix of the two. She did not have a surrogate. She has shown her bare stomach during pregnancy with Blue a handful of times.
Watch the video in which she is interviewed for a French TV show. Her belly folds in half – no, not the material of her dress, the actual “bump.” Folds. In. Half.
Watch the video shot less than 2 weeks before the “birth,.” She’s doing a fast walk in 5 inch heels – and I mean fast – then does a jump into the passenger seat of an SUV. Have you ever been pregnant? Have you spent time with any pregnant women? Yes, every pregnancy is different, but these things are impossible at 38-39 weeks. Also, why pay the hospital to keep everyone but essential personnel off the floor where the birth was taking place? Queen Elizabeth didn’t do any such thing when she was in the hospital last year. She had a security guard outside her door – the hospital continued with business as usual. Celebrities have babies in hospitals all the time – they don’t go through these machinations. Everything about these two is a farce, including the birth.
Blue has beyonce’s weird legs. Beyonce has her mom Tina’s weird bowlegged walk and thigh gap. Blue is Beyonce’s biological child. Beyonce carried Blue.
I believe she gave birth the natural way too, but I don’t think she used any foam padding. Sometimes our clothes don’t fall the way we’d like. Then there is the issue of our seeing it on a TV screen. Distortions happen. No big conspiracy.
Celebrities buy out/ close out venues all the time including restaurants parks hotels etc. It’s sweet when Tom cruise does it for suri or brad Pitt does it for Shiloh but Jay Z gets grief for utilizing his wealth for Blue? Interesting
True @ Brionne. Didn’t Brangelina close down an entire country? Bey and Jay donated 1 million dollars to Lennox Hill so that they could further develop their maternity ward – that comes with some perks.
@epiphany,
A woman was shown in the past month or so competing in a RACE while pregnant. Not a few weeks pregnant, but close to delivery pregnant.
http://celebbabylaundry.com/2014/06/olympic-runner-races-while-34-weeks-pregnant/
@kimi I agree with you,
Now the world will start looking for a bump. One that doesn’t shift around when she sits down.
Saying ‘she’s pregnant with another one’ is such a nice thing to say. A really nice sentiment. *facepalm*
It looks like she is covering up a hole in her dress. In one shot you can see her skin, like her dress ripped or something. Does anyone else see that?
Oh how I hope this is true! Please be true. I just want to see Kanye West’s head explode as he hurries to knock up Kim Kartrashian again to keep up with the Carters!
@pattydellish. WELDONE
I don’t think so at all. There’s not even a food baby hiding in those stage costumes. Bey/Jay were clear about not announcing Blue Ivy till the last possible minute because of her previous miscarriage (and wanting to enjoy the pregnancy secret between themselves.) I personally doubt they’d announce another pregnancy till they had to, That doesn’t mean they’re not messing with us, however…
I’ve seen other pictures of Jay and Bey onstage where he is hugging her from behind and she seems pretty puffy from the side view. Either she is pregnant or tour food is bloating her badly.
How convenient for her to “get pregnant” just now… I find this two exhausting. Anyway, lets see if they’re expecting pillow no.2, Green Fence Carter
You guys seem to know everything going on in the personal lives of people you don’t even know. Fascinating! Tell me more, oh oracles!
Not only that, but people they hate/dislike! LOL If I don’t like a certain celebrity, I don’t follow their every move. Fact is, I don’t think about them at all.
Keep calm and love they because they are happy. Teamcaters .we love you here in africa(southafrica)
How convenient to announce the pregnancy at the last show of their tour — to keep everyone buzzing before their next move. If she’s pregnant, I’m happy for her. Will the issues in their marriage go away after this pregnancy? They might get worse.
Stunt or not, *this* belly is more convincing than the one used at any stage of the first pregnancy!!!
why not? Their daughter is in a age when most couples decide it´s time for a second child. Sounds normal to me.
The break-up drama was just a storyline they created for their tour. The Solange elevator video was part of that.
Bey and Jay punked everyone.
The break up drama was started by the tabloids looking for an explanation for the REAL whopping Solange gave Jay Z. A man like Jay Z would never pull a stunt like that.
Nah, Jay Z and Beyonce both lost street cred for allowing Solonge to go nuts without putting her in a choke hold or at the very least sending her to some type of “rehab”. The questions really steamrolled bcz this siginified a serious break in the facade. They would never do that on purpose. Solange is a nutjob!
@mg I also think she is just holding closed her dress which looks like it ripped open.
the statement, ‘this is the last gasp of an empire’ hits the nail on the head IMO
these publicity stunts are cheap and make them look like every other celeb as opposed to the perfect, better than everyone image they had prior
I can’t with these two anymore. Enough already.
It is always all about Bey and Jay, all the time, everywhere.
Maybe they put on a good show, a good production, but these are selfish celebrities. Self-focused and self-involved.
Blue Ivy did not emerge from her belly and BeyJay lied for no good reason. Who knows what will happen now. All I know is we will never know the truth. This is as always, about money, appearance, and power.
I thought the pics of Beyawnce in Antibes were staged. She lives her life on a stage.. She is holding her dress together because there is a hole in the middle.
“Blue Ivy did not emerge from her belly”
Blue Ivy came out of Beyonce’s vag
Excuse me.
Blue Ivy did not GROW in Beyonce’s BELLY.
They are stone cold narcissists.
Please, enough of these two. What exactly are they trying to accomplish with this?
I actually find these two nauseating. Whether it is for personal gain or loving the PR head game, it doesn’t matter to me anymore because I find them ugly on the inside. Really ugly. To the point of being disgustingly ugly.
