Beyoncé Knowles seemingly put rumours to rest that she is pregnant with her second child when she posted a photo of herself making a toast. The Drunk in Love singer sparked speculation that she was expecting when her husband Jay Z dropped a hint during a performance in Paris last Friday. The rapper changed the lyrics of Beach is Better to include the line "cause she's pregnant with another one," immediately causing fans to announce Beyoncé's pregnancy.

Posting a backstage photo of herself and Jay Z on her website, Beyoncé seemed to indirectly set the record straight. The star was snapped sipping on what appears to be champagne as she laughs with her husband standing next to her, as they wrapped the France part of their tour. The black-and-white photo was uploaded two days after the rumour mill went into overdrive.
