This was, of course, was the perfect opportunity for people on social media to provide a little humor about the announcement. Even some brands got in on it.
Popeyes Chicken tweeted, "She has TWO biscuits in the oven? We've got a lifetime membership to Popeyes for both of them! #twins #pregnant #babybump."
JCPenney jumped in to defend the Instagram post when someone on Twitter said that it looked like something from a JCPenney photo studio.
"Time for us to go...to the left, to the left. We (heart) Bey, we (heart) the hive, we (heart) you all. Keep the love on top.
There's no word on what the power couple will name the twins, but there's a website called "Bey Bey Name" that could provide some ideas.
It's a name generator that creates a name based on Beyonce's daughter's name, Blue Ivy. The first name is a color and the middle name is some sort of plant or flower.
Coral Daisy, Fushia Aloe, Green Jasmine and Copper Hibiscus are just a few options.
