It was believed Beyoncé gave birth to twins last week, but news out of her camp has been mum.
Finally, her father, Mathew Knowles, confirmed the news yesterday via a Twitter post that read: "Happy Birthday to the twins! Love, Granddad."
Over the weekend, it was reported that Beyoncé gave birth to twins on Monday night in Los Angeles. However, TMZ reported that according to their sources, a "minor issue" had surfaced, and because of that, "doctors do not feel comfortable releasing them."
The source added that Beyoncé, who has stayed at the hospital with her new daughter and son, is "okay. The babies are expected to be okay as well."
Beyoncé announced last February 1st that she was expecting twins with her husband Jay Z, when she posted a photograph of her baby bump on Instagram, writing, "We would like to share our love and happiness. We have been blessed two times over. We are incredibly grateful that our family will be growing by two, and we thank you for your well wishes. - The Carters."
The couple also have a five-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy. ~Alexandra Heilbron
