Let’s Talk About THAT Beyoncé Photo… You Know the One

Will there be a new addition to the royal family? No, no—we’re not talking Prince William and Kate, we know all about them and their newcomer. We’re talking Beyoncé and Jay-Z. In fact, maybe when the pairs crossed paths on that fateful night at the Brooklyn Nets game (and basically broke the internet) Beyoncé may just have come down with some of that baby fever.

The Carter family recently celebrated the ever-so-adorable Blue Ivy’s 3rd birthday last week, January 7. Which begs the question… is it finally time for another little princess (or prince!) to be inducted into the royal family? Just days later, Beyoncé posted a rather cryptic picture to her Instagram account on Sunday. See it for yourself below…

If you didn’t already notice it, it looks like Bey is having a sand baby. And of course, there was no comment. Not even an emoji. No trace of a caption. So now, we’re all left to wonder: WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?!

While former fellow Destiny Child member Michelle Williams is debunking those pregnancy rumors, we’re not quite convinced just yet. Bey herself definitely isn’t quelling our confusion—but rather fueling it. Just last night, Beyoncé and her husband Jay-Z attended their usual Nets Game, though Queen B was noticeably covered. And by that, we mean she sported a knee-length trench coat the entire night, only adding to our speculation!

We know for a fact that Queen B definitely has a way with her announcements. Just think back to her, you know, surprise album and all. It wouldn’t exactly come as a shock to us if this means exactly what we think (or hope) it does!

We guess we’ll just have to see how this unfolds! We’re already thinking about possible baby names, to be honest. What do you think, collegiettes? Is it time for a new member to be inducted into the royal family? Or is this all a big fuss over nothing?
