Beyonce is pregnant, announced it by rubbing her belly at the VMAs

I. Was. Wrong. I just want to get that out there, right at the start. Beyonce has been talking about babies for so many years, I just thought she would be one of those celebrities who would be forever “all talk, no action”. But I was wrong – Beyonce is pregnant! She announced it in an interesting way – by rubbing her belly/womb area on stage at the VMAs. It was actually… kind of cute. Beyonce was introduced by Britney and Gaga (still in her drag king Jo Calderone costume), and when Bey was singing “Love On Top”, I thought the highlight would be the cutaways – Adele singing and dancing along with Bey, and then Gaga hanging with Kanye and Jay-Z (and having a drink, it looked like). When Bey finished the song, she looked down at Jay, smiled and rubbed her bump. Kanye and Jay both went a little bit crazy, and it was seriously very sweet. Oh… I guess Bey announced it on the black carpet before her performance too…? I missed most of the preshow. I was watching The Tillman Story (it was more interesting than Selena Gomez, let me tell you).

Leave it to Beyoncé to steal the spotlight at Sunday’s Video Music Awards.

But it wasn’t one of the pop diva’s signature show-stopping performances that had people talking. Instead, it was Beyoncé’s burgeoning belly bump, swathed in an orange gown.

Beyoncé, 29, posed for photos with her hands cradling her belly, teasing, “I have a surprise!”

“I’m happy to say it’s true,” her rep confirms to PEOPLE.

This will be the first child for Beyoncé and her husband of three years, 41-year-old Jay-Z, who performed “Otis” at the VMAs with Kanye West.

Just in June, Knowles, who turns 30 on Sept. 4, and told Piers Morgan, “I always said I would have a baby at 30.”

Looks like the talented singer is true to her word!

Congratulations to Beyonce and Jay. Jay already looks all puffed up and thrilled, and I am very happy for Beyonce too. Is it a second trimester bump?

I guess Bey isn’t heading out on tour to support her new album? Which is fine. I don’t know about you, but I don’t need to see her sing these singles live.
