The world just got more fabulous by two.

Beyoncé took to Instagram Wednesday with some big baby news: she and her husband Jay-Z are expecting twins!


The babies (!) join their daughter Blue Ivy, who was born in January 2012.

The couple has been open about their fertility struggles in the past, sharing in their Life Is But a Dream documentary in 2013—

“About two years ago, I was pregnant for the first time and I heard the heartbeat, which was the most beautiful music I ever heard in my life. I picked out names, I envisioned what my child would look like … I was feeling very maternal. I flew back to New York to get my check up — and no heartbeat. Literally the week before I went to the doctor, everything was fine, but there was no heartbeat. I went into the studio and wrote the saddest song I’ve ever written in my life. And it was actually the first song I wrote for my album. And it was the best form of therapy for me, because it was the saddest thing I’ve ever been through.”

Everything the legendary singer does is noteworthy, but it’s her take on motherhood that most inspires us—

“Out of everything I’ve accomplished, my proudest moment hands down was when I gave birth to my daughter Blue,” Beyoncé said in an interview with Garage magazine, a comment for which she got no shortage of criticism.

But B, we get it. We feel the same way about our babes (though we have *slightly* fewer Grammy’s on our shelves.)

Congrats to the Carters! ?
