It is true that Beyonce Knowles is pregnant but sources are confirming that Beyonce did in fact use a fake baby bump at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards. “Our insider claims that Beyonce IS pregnant but is not in her second trimester – she’s only 8 weeks pregnant,” reports MediaTakeOut.

The singer — who’s expecting her first child with husband Jay-Z — was said to be faking the size of her bump to make a bigger impact than simply announcing her pregnancy.

Reports of the fake bump started after hundreds of people all saw Beyonce only a couple of weeks prior at the Roseland Ballroom with no baby bump in sight.
