Beyonce is three months pregnant with rapper legend Jay-Z's child.
The Destiny's Child superstar hit the big 30 yesterday and told friends shes is ready to be a mother.
New album 4 is a mid tempo record which the star recorded after a 12 month break following her mega world tour with the I Am... album.
As the new album is a change of pace for Beyonce this was a planned pregnancy.
Much admiration has been granted as she would have been pregnant during her energetic and emotional performance at Glastonbury in July.
So the change of pace will be welcomed when the star slows down just slightly when she will be touring an acoustic version of new album 4 late next year.
Can't wait to have you back on the road Queen B!
