At Sunday's MTV Music Video Awards Beyoncé wore a gorgeous orange dress. It wasn't the dress that got all attention though, it was her hands cradling her belly, whilst saying, "I have a surprise!" After performing at the MTV Awards the 29-year old singer unbuttoned her jacket and rubbed her stomach, as the crowd cheered and clapped. A rep for the singer confirms the good news to People Magazine, "I'm happy to say that it's true".

People Magazine quotes a source as saying, "They told friends in the last month. She's never been happier. Seriously it's all she's been waiting for. And Jay is like an excited kid. They're adorable." In June Beyoncé was already hinting at a pregnancy, when she said in an interview to Piers Morgan, "I always said I would have a baby at 30." Beyoncé will turn 30 September 4th.

This will be the first child for Beyoncé and Jay-Z. The singer and the rapper and music mogul, 41, started dating in 2002. They were married on April 4th, 2008.
