Beyonce Gives Birth To Baby Girl: REPORT

It's a girl for Beyonce and Jay-Z!

After years of pregnancy rumors and months of due date whisperings, Beyonce has finally given birth to a baby girl. E! Online reports that multiple sources have confirmed that the couple welcomed their first child Saturday night.

As for the name? E! claims new daddy Jay is telling friends it's Blue Ivy Carter, but other outlets say it's Ivy Blue Carter. (UPDATE: Friend Gwyneth Paltrow tweeted Sunday morning that the baby is named Blue Ivy Carter.)

Reps for the couple haven't given the official word on their bundle of joy, but whatever her name, this little girl already has some famous friends sending their love to her.

Rihanna tweeted, "Welcome to the world princess Carter! Love Aunty Rih." Friend Russell Simmons also offered his congratulations, tweeting, "congrats to my good friends Beyonce and Jay-Z."

According to New York Daily News, the superstar booked the fourth floor of the hospital for $1.3 million to make sure that her baby's entrance into the world was nothing short of fiercely glamorous.

Speculation that Queen B's due date was nearing was intensified right before New Year's Eve, as Beyonce's mother Tina, sister Solange and her family arrived in New York -- no doubt to welcome their newest family member.

It was even reported that Beyonce and Jay-Z welcomed a baby girl named Tiana-May Carter before the end of the year, but the rumors were put to rest after a still-pregnant Beyonce was spotted at dinner with Jay-Z on New Year's Eve in Brooklyn.

Those who were eagerly anticipating the birth of Beyonce's offspring pegged her due date to late December based on a DVD she released earlier this year, telling fans that she was six months pregnant. "Hello! It's September 23rd ... Right now I'm actually shooting the video for 'Countdown' and I'm six months pregnant, pretending that my stomach is flat in body suits," she said in her "Live at Roseland" DVD, according to the UK's Daily Mail.

This is the first child for the couple who married in April 2008, uniting two of the biggest names in hip hop. Although B's baby will not be able to comprehend the magnitude of her parents' fame for some time, this sure is one lucky tot.

Congrats on having a baby girl Beyonce. Im a huge fan from the first time I saw you perform live in 2002. I have two daughters Blue age 10 and Ivy age 5. Funny how it takes a celebrity to validate creative names...

How far along was she? That was very fast. Surprising, indeed. Blue Ivy, has to grow on me but it's kinda pretty.

Really!?! Is she the only woman to ever have given birth?????????? Who cares about Blue Ivy except her mommy and daddy who should care about her...I hope she is healthy and enjoys good health with both of her parents all the days of her life....BUT I am tired of being hit in the face with Beyonce's giving birth....YOU KNOW! MAYBE there is something to that Surrogate Baby Carrier rumor after all! Seems there is a lot of pushing this baby in our faces like they are trying to convince ALL of the people...I couldn't give a figleaf about it....Enough is Enough! STOP IT!

"Giving Birth" should be reserved for those who are women enough to have vaginal births. I'm sure the thought never entered her mind to actually push a baby out of that precious vagina of hers.

She was just wearing a fake bump 2 months ago. Come On! This means the surrogate gave birth. Congratulations to the two of them. But we are no dummies!.

If she planning to have another baby, she needs to find a private hospital that will provide that type of service. It was unfair to the other parents to go thru that. They may not have 1.3 million dollars lk Beyonce and Jay but they are human too.

I agree. The whole ordeal also put the hospital in line of legal action as well. It wasn't worth it.
