Beyonce’s dad has confirmed the birth of her twins after US media reported that the singer had given birth. The 65-year-old posted a picture on Instagram that read ‘Happy Birthday to the twins! Love, Granddad. They’re here! #beyonce #jayz #twins #birthday #happy birthday.’ This appears to confirm the news that was much reported over the weekend. There has, however, been no official confirmation.
Many fans seemed angered by the fact that Beyonce’s father seemed to announce the news in a non-official capacity, possibly without the consent of the new parents themselves. One super-fan posted ‘I really hope you had Beyonce’s permission to announce this because otherwise, you are so far out of line,” an Instagram commenter wrote. “It’s Beyonce’s news and if she felt ready to announce the birth she would have done it by now.’
Beyonce announced back in February that she was pregnant with twins by releasing a stunning photograph of herself already looking heavily pregnant. She said of the impending arrivals at the time ‘We would like to share our love and happiness. We have been blessed tow times over. We are incredibly grateful that our family will be growing by two, and we thank you for your well wishes.’
