Beyoncé Says “Yes” to Baby No. 4 — But Is Jay-Z Already Dropping Name Clues…See More

In a moment that has sent the Beyhive into overdrive, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter has confirmed she is expecting her fourth child with husband Jay-Z, further solidifying their status as music’s ultimate power couple.

The announcement, made during a surprise performance at the final stop of her Cowboy Carter Tour on May 15, 2025, was electrifying enough, but it’s a cryptic reference in Jay-Z’s latest lyrics that has fans buzzing.

Hidden within his verses, the Beyhive believes they’ve uncovered a secret name for the unborn child, sparking wild speculation and debate across social media. This article explores the pregnancy reveal, the mysterious lyric, and what it means for the Carter family’s ever-growing legacy.

The Pregnancy Announcement That Shook the Beyhive
Beyoncé, 43, and Jay-Z, 55, have a history of making headlines with their carefully orchestrated family announcements. Married since April 4, 2008, they share three children: Blue Ivy, 13, and twins Rumi and Sir, 7. From Beyoncé’s iconic 2011 MTV Video Music Awards pregnancy reveal for Blue Ivy to the floral-themed Instagram post announcing the twins in 2017, the Carters know how to captivate their audience. Their fourth child’s announcement was no exception.

During the closing performance of the Cowboy Carter Tour in Los Angeles, Beyoncé paused mid-set to address the crowd. “Y’all have been my family through this journey,” she said, her voice trembling with emotion. “And now, I’m so grateful to share that our family is growing again. Yes, it’s baby number four.” The crowd erupted, and within minutes, #CarterBaby4 and #BeyoncePregnant were trending worldwide on X. The moment was quintessential Beyoncé—dramatic, heartfelt, and perfectly staged.
Yet, the real frenzy began when Jay-Z joined her on stage for a performance of their 2018 track “APESH*T” from Everything Is Love. Fans noticed a subtle change in his verse, where he slipped in a new line: “Four’s the charm, my heart’s new psalm.” The Beyhive, known for their detective-like scrutiny, immediately zeroed in on the word “psalm,” speculating it could be a hidden name for the unborn child. The theory exploded online, with fans dissecting the lyric for clues about the newest Carter.
