It’s official – Beyonce is expecting her first child with hubby Jay-Z! The 29-year old R&B/pop singer hit the black carpet at the 2011 MTV VMAs at the Nokia Theater LA Live in Los Angeles this past Sunday wearing a loose bright orange Lanvin gown. As the flashes started going off, Beyonce told the photographers “I have a surprise for you!” and held her stomach, revealing a baby bump hidden under the fabric of her dress. She may not have said it out loud but pictures were definitely worth a thousand words. In this case, just two – I’m pregnant. She also did the same thing after her performance. Congratulations to Beyonce and Jay-Z on the impending arrival!
