Ever since June started, everyone had one wish: for Beyoncé to finally give birth to her Gemini twins.
Let’s be real here, guys. Bey will always be the queen of surprises from her albums to her pregnancy announcements. She’ll even shock us while she performs with her prominent baby bump. But you know the Internet has a keen eye when it comes to hints. We don’t know whether the twins are already here or not—last we heard from Bey was during her push party, so here’s what we know so far.
#1 Absence from Instagram
Every time Beyoncé wouldn’t post a photo on IG, people would start counting down and wondering if something’s up.

As of writing, her last photo was posted on Memorial Day. Of course, the Beyhive has been counting down since then and immediately thought that she might’ve given birth already. Hmmm.
Beyoncé hasn't posted on Instagram since May 30th…….. I think she's given birth already.

#2 An encouraging message
Hairstylist Chuck Amos posted a photo with Beyoncé three days ago with the caption, “Hang in there, Mama!” That may or may not mean that she’s already in labor during that time.
#3 Jay-Z’s new album
You may be thinking, “Huh? Why?” In case you don’t know, Jay-Z is set to release his 12th solo album some time this year. Fans have been speculating that the rapper will drop the album on the same day, if not after the twins’ birth.

Maybe Beyonce had the twins at 4:44, and the day they release the news Jay-Z and Bey gon release their joint album. Just thinking 🤔 4:44

This theory is also supported by the mysterious “4:44” billboards that have appeared at Time Square recently. Variety noted that this could possibly signify either the release date or numbers to represent Blue Ivy and her new siblings. (You know, because Ivy apparently came from the roman number “IV.”)

Not only that, Jay-Z started a “thank-you” spree on his Twitter account last night. If the fans’ theories are correct, he might just release that album soon, along with the baby photos. (Maybe.)
Thank you to all the people that have inspired me . Rakim KANE KRS chuck cube Jaz Em Andre Nas big PAC cole kendrick chance jayE ..wait,

#4 Beefed up security at an LA hospital
There are two places where Beyoncé might (or might have) give birth in. The first, according to Us Weekly, is an unnamed hospital in LA. Several sources also said that security was beefed up at the location.
#5 Home birth?
The other location is in their new mansion at East Gate Bel Air in California. Daily Mail reported that the Carters have set up a private maternity ward, complete with medical equipment. A neighbor told the outlet, “It is all about privacy and safety. It’s not usual for someone expecting twins to have them at home, but Beyoncé has discussed it with her doctors.”
Fret not, though. Apparently, there will also be ambulance ready in case she needs to be taken to the hospital.
