Report: Beyoncé is pregnant

Beyoncé is pregnant with her first child, it has been claimed.

A source told Us Weekly that the singer is expecting a child with husband Jay-Z.

"B was shocked. She loves kids, but she wasn't ready to be a mother just yet," the insider said.

Another source told the publication that Beyoncé, who is said to be in the first three months of pregnancy, believes "this is a gift from God and she's so happy".

Kevin Liles, a record executive and friend of Jay-Z, added: "Jay has been all about family since I met him, and he's always going to be. I wish them the best."

The star's sister Solange reportedly said of her older sibling: "She's got the most beautiful heart. She'll be a great mum."

Beyoncé was forced to deny being pregnant earlier this year after previous reports that she was expecting her first child.
