Popular singer Beyonce has taken the internet by storm after sharing the first photo of her twins Sir Carter and Rumi. The couple, who is already parents to five-year-old Blue Ivy, welcomed their second daughter and first son on June 12.

The twins were born at LA's Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, where Beyonce had an entire floor reserved to ensure privacy.

Beyonce's father, Mathew Knowles, was first to announce the news on June 18, with a sweet Instagram post wishing the twins happy birthday.

Earlier, television host Jimmy Kimmel pranked his audience on the show 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' claiming that he has first photograph of the twins. He said: "We managed to get an exclusive first photo of the babies, of the children. I won't tell you how and I should make you wait until the end of the show to see this, but I can't wait anymore myself. Here they are, the world's most anticipated twins."

But the photographs turned out to be of US President Donald Trump's sons Eric and Donald Jr.

Beyonce, one of the most powerful women in the music business, announced the pregnancy on her Instagram account in February along with an image of her posed in lingerie and caressing a noticeable baby bump.

The announcement got more than 8 million "likes" in the first 24 hours to become the "most-liked" Instagram ever.

The R&B singer performed live at the Grammy awards in Los Angeles two weeks later, proudly displaying her swelling belly in a motherhood-themed show. She has since posted numerous pictures of her bare baby bump on her social media accounts.

The birth of Blue Ivy caused a paparazzi storm in 2012, with New York's Lenox Hill hospital shutting down part of its maternity wing to accommodate music's royal couple.

News of the pregnancy came less than a year after the release of Beyonce's 2016 album "Lemonade," in which she appeared to address long-standing rumors of trouble in her eight-year marriage.

The lyrics of several songs spoke about being cheated on, and regretting being married. But Beyonce made clear in the final tracks of the album and in music videos featuring Jay-Z that she had decided to stay in the relationship.
