Blue Ivy Part 2: Is Beyonce Pregnant?

When Beyonce? and Jay Z first planned their current On the Run tour, they must have hoped that they would be able to experience the best of both worlds: By night, they’d play to sold-out crowds of adoring fans, and by day, they’d have plenty of time to spend together and with their daughter Blue Ivy, 2. But things haven’t quite worked out that way. Instead, the married superstars have been haunted by divorce rumors ever since early May, when surveillance camera footage of a vicious, startlingly physical fight between Jay and Beyonce?’s sister Solange went public, leading to a torrent of reports about the 44-year-old rapper’s alleged infidelities.

A source confirms that things got very dark between the couple in the aftermath of that incident: “Beyonce? is not dumb, and she knows that where there’s smoke, there’s fire. She couldn’t see any way out other than divorce.” Now, though, the source says Beyonce? and Jay seem to have reconciled, and, furthermore, that they’re hiding a life-changing secret: Beyonce?, 33, may be pregnant with their second child.

“For the last month, Jay has been fiercely protective of her, just like he was when she was expecting Blue Ivy,” the source says. “He’s been doing everything he can to ensure that Bey is in a stress-free bubble.

He’s informed their entire entourage that they need to use relaxed voices, mellow lighting and listen to only soft music, and he’s said that all of the food Beyonce? eats should be organic. He’s really doing his best to make sure that she’s as comfortable and healthy as possible.” Plus, the source says, it’s been at least that long since anyone has seen Beyonce? drinking booze. “At one point, she was ordered a glass of champagne backstage to celebrate the tour’s success, but she politely declined and even rubbed her belly, maybe unconsciously. She hasn’t had a sip of alcohol since.”

Nothing’s been confirmed, but that’s not unusual for the pair. “Beyonce? is a little superstitious, especially since she had a miscarriage before Blue,” says the source.

“This is exactly the way they acted last time she was pregnant: tight-lipped until they were ready to break the big news—which they did in a huge way at the 2011 MTV VMAs!”

Still, some fans may wonder how Beyonce? and Jay went from discussing divorce to expanding their family in such a short span of time. “The truth is, they’re both desperate to make things work,” the source confides. And their much-ballyhooed net worth is only a small piece of the puzzle. Between them, they run a near billion-dollar empire (as Bey acknowledged in her recent “Flawless Remix” with the new lyrics “Sometimes sh*t go down when it’s a billion dollars on an elevator”), and this tour alone is expected to gross $100 million. “Business has always been a part of their relationship,” the source says. “But for Bey, family is the most important thing, and the idea of breaking hers up is strictly a worst-case scenario.”

For months, the source says, Beyonce? struggled with what to do about her troubled marriage: “She’s been under an incredible amount of pressure.” The ugly dissolution of her parents’ union—which ended in 2010 when word leaked that her father had conceived a child during an 18-month affair with an actress—also weighed heavily on her mind.

“She doesn’t want to stay in an unhappy marriage,” the source says. In early August, though, she and her husband were finally able to take some time to discuss their future.

At the 2014 VMAs, the couple and their two year old daughter presented a joint force to the world and managed to squash all previously swirling divorce rumors.

However, Beyonce’s recent weight gain and her highly emotional breakdown has everyone eyebrows up.

A sibling for Blue Ivy would be really cute.
