Beyonce fuelled rumours that she was pregnant again but it seems there won't be another mini Jay Z running around as the Flawless singer's former Destiny's Child bandmate Michelle Williams has shot down the speculation.
Fans have been going hysterical since last Saturday when Beyonce, 33, posted a photo of herself on Instagram immersed in sand with what many believed to be the sculpted shape of a baby bump. However, it seems either Queen Bey was simply messing with everyone or everyone has jumped the gun because Michelle, 35, says Bey is not expecting.

During an appearance on The View yesterday, Michelle said: “You know, when she was pregnant, people said that she wasn't pregnant. First of all, if you look at the picture, the baby bump is probably where her knees probably really are… Just stop it, stop it.”
The singer's enthusiastic fans haven't stopped though with social media flooded with congratulatory tweets for the smitten pair, with one comment alongside the Instagram shot reading: "I really hope she's actually pregnant again omg @rebeccamayw,” although another investigative BeyHive member noted: "2 weeks ago she posted a photo of her in a hot tub but your not supposed to go in one when your pregnant."

Of course, the ever-private couple themselves are yet to address the speculation but Jay Z, 45, fuelled the rumours they are expecting again back in September when he changed the lyrics to one of their songs while performing on their On The Run tour, to: “Cause she pregnant with another one.”
Adding to the mystery, Bey and Jay, who have been married for six years, have maintained a relatively low profile in recent months, enjoying low-key holidays with their family and only popping up at a handful of official public events, while Beyonce has kept her stomach under wraps in loose clothing. The pair are already proud parents to their daughter Blue Ivy, who celebrated her third birthday on January 7.
