The kid was just born and already has trended No. 1 around the world on Twitter. Where do you go from there?
Multiple sources have reported that Beyoncé has given birth to a baby daughter named Ivy Blue Carter.
On Saturday night, E! Online first reported the name was actually Blue Ivy, and said Beyoncé delivered the baby via a scheduled C-section (that term, along with "Jay Z and Beyonce," also trended on Twitter).
The New York Daily News reported the name as Ivy Blue, adding that Beyoncé, 30, delivered the baby at New York's Lenox Hill Hospital. The paper cited a member of the hospital staff as its source, saying Jay-Z and Beyoncé checked in on Friday under the name "Ingrid Jackson." (Also claiming that they rented out a whole floor of the hospital for over $1 million).
Beyonce very publicly announced her pregnancy in late August, purposefully showcasing her round belly at the VMAs and telling the
audience "I want you to feel the love that's growing inside of me" during a performance.
Later, a rumor (which remained just that) cropped up alleging that she was not actually pregnant and/or used a surrogate, following her appearance on an Australian TV show which showed a momentary deflation of her dress in the bump region. Other photos, however, seemed to rule this out.
Early on came the reminder that having famous parents means being subject to the peanut gallery. Not only did many tweets pan the baby's name, but "Illuminati's Very Youngest" -- a stab at the significance of "Ivy" -- also became a popular term on Twitter, poking fun at Jay-Z, some jokingly (others not) having charged with him with some kind of involvement in a hypothetical, conspiratorial group. That, however, was soon outpaced by well wishes, as people around the world tweeted their "Congrats to Beyonce and Jay-Z."
While neither Beyoncé nor Jay-Z confirmed the baby news, a tweet from Rihanna offering congratulations following the initial reports lent them some credibility. This inspired a bunch of liked-minded Twitter trends, like "Uncle Kanye," "Uncle Chris Brown" and "Godmother Nicki." Even "Aunty Gaga."
