After Beyoncé reportedly posted a telling picture of herself under the sand with a pronounced baby bump that spurred pregnancy speculations among her followers, a new report emerged saying that such speculations might be right on the mark. The new report also said that Beyoncé is pregnant with a baby boy.

In Touch Weekly went beyond speculating that Beyoncé is pregnant with her second baby and actually said that the singer is indeed carrying a child. The magazine even asserted that Beyoncé is carrying a baby boy. According to the source of the magazine, the would-be parents of a baby boy, Beyoncé and Jay-Z, are elated with the news. Jay-Z, in particular, is beyond himself with happiness, as he always wanted a son.

"There's no question that he adores Blue, but he's felt an emptiness not having a little boy. When they found out the good news, it was like new life was injected into their marriage - Jay is 150-percent invested now," the source said. The source added that because of his excitement over having a little boy soon, Jay-Z has already changed his diet and joked that he needs to be in shape so that he could play basketball with his son in the future.

The news is yet to be confirmed by the couple's camp. Meanwhile, Michelle Williams, Beyoncé's former bandmate in Destiny's Child, already dispelled all the pregnancy rumours in public. In her recent stint in "The View," Michelle asked the media and the public to quit speculating that Beyoncé is pregnant. She shared that pregnancy reports are hardly accurate, citing the fact that the media reported Beyoncé not pregnant before even though she really was. She pointed out that the Instagram picture of Beyoncé's "baby bump" was probably taken out of context or interpreted differently. She said the "baby bump" could actually be Beyoncé's knees in reality.

Beyoncé's actions when in public would not stop the pregnancy rumours from swirling, though. She continues to wear clothes that hide her figure or she reportedly keeps her hands over her tummy all the time. Her date night with Jay-Z at a New York basketball game further intensified pregnancy rumors because she was wearing a trench coat, and when she removed the coat, her hands were clasped over her stomach. The pictures had people thinking she was covering a baby bump.
