Happy times: Beyonce and Jay-Z have welcomed a hot twin babies according to a new report from Us Weekly

Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z have reportedly welcomed twin babies earlier this week, thought to be a boy and a girl.

Showbiz 411 first reported on Saturday that multiple sources confirmed the power couple welcomed two children on Monday night or Tuesday morning. A source told People magazine on the same day: 'Bey and Jay are thrilled and have started sharing the news with their family and closest friends.'


An unidentified female was pictured delivering a balloon and floral gift on Sunday morning which appeared to give the game away.

There was a pink and blue balloon, with one reading: 'It's a boy' and the other reading: 'It's a girl.'

The accompanying envelope had: 'To B & J' on the front which appears to be confirmation but could have been sent by an over-zealous fan.

And now it has been reported that a 'minor issue' has kept their bundles of joys in hospital, according to TMZ.

Sources close to the couple told the publication: 'The twins were born Monday in a Los Angeles hospital. We're told a "minor issue" surfaced, and as a result ... doctors do not feel comfortable releasing them.'

One of each: This rather telling balloon and floral gift was delivered to the hospital on Sunday with a card which read: 'To B and J' following speculation the couple had a boy and a girl
