The world thought Beyoncé gave birth to twins last month, but nothing was confirmed until this morning. For the first time, Bey revealed her twins to the world in an Instagram post with the caption, "Sir Carter and Rumi 1 month today." (How precious is this?! It even mimics the ~aesthetic~ of her pregnancy announcement photos.)
Although there have been rumors about the twins' birth, names and sexes, Beyoncé hadn't acknowledged any of that until now. The consensus has been for quite some time that Bey had one boy and one girl, but initial reports claimed they were named Shawn and Bea. Late last month, though, an attempt to trademark the names Rumi Carter and Sir Carter gave away the babies' names.
In her post, Beyoncé also confirmed that the twins were born on June 13, making them one-month old already!
Along with the twins' Instagram debut came amazing reactions on Twitter, of course. These 10 tweets describe exactly how the world is feeling.
