Beyonce and Jay-Z

The internet rumour mill has been going non-stop with speculation as to whether Beyonce has given birth to her little one yet or not. Whilst the press are largely speculating, word on the street says the musical couple welcomed a baby girl into the world to days ago and have named her Tiana May Carter. Whether that’s true or not, we’ll have to wait and see! Beyonce first announced her exciting news on the red carpet at the VMA awards in August.

Amanda Holden and Chris Hughes

The Britain’s Got Talent star announced the good news on her website and is thrilled to be adding to her family. Just five months ago, Amanda and Chris were devastated when their child was stillborn so the news of her pregnancy is a welcome dose of happiness. We bet the couple’s daughter Lexi, 5, can’t wait to be a big sister.
