She’s a proud mum of three – yet one outrageous theory claims Beyoncé faked her pregnancy with Blue Ivy and used a surrogate instead.
The rumours started during a 2011 TV appearance where Beyoncé’s baby bump looked as if it ‘folded’ due to an odd angle.
The Lemonade singer was said to be left heartbroken by rumours she used a surrogate mother instead of carrying Blue Ivy, now eight, herself.
One source said: “During her first pregnancy Beyoncé was plagued by trolls who claimed she was not carrying the baby and that her bump wasn’t real …
“Bey put on a brave face at the time, but she was privately devastated.”
Other vile rumours have claimed Blue Ivy – who is the spitting image of her stunning mum – is actually the daughter of Jay Z and another woman.
SHE’S SEVEN YEARS OLDER
Like many celebs, Beyoncé has been accused of lying about her age.
The singer’s birth date is widely reported to be September 4, 1981 – yet some believe she arrived seven years earlier, on the same date in 1974.
This rumour first surfaced in 2006, when someone who claimed to work for the Texas Department of Health allegedly uncovered her birth record.
If true, it would make Bey 45.
Other supposed evidence includes a lack of pictures showing the singer at an awkward teen phase, as well as some vague comments on US TV.
And the star’s dad hasn’t helped the matter: Mathew Knowles has made some confusing remarks about his daughter’s age in interviews.
In one radio interview, with The Breakfast Club on Power 105.1, New York, Mathew suggested Beyoncé is the “exact same age” as Pink and Usher.
The artists (who aren’t the “exact same age” as each other at all – are aged 40 and 41 respectively – several years older than 38-year-old Bey.
BEY IS SOLANGE’S MUM
Hooked on the age conspiracy theory, some people believe Solange Knowles, 34, is actually Beyoncé’s daughter, not younger sister.
This wild theory – which relies on Beyoncé being older than her reported age – alleges that the superstar gave birth to Solange as a teen.
In a plot reminiscent of a soap opera storyline, it claims that parents Mathew and Tina Knowles covered up the fact Bey had delivered a child.
Instead, they allegedly brought up Solange – also a singer – as their own.
Though it’s unclear where the rumour first sprung from, it has been claimed that a “cousin” has confirmed Solange is Beyoncé’s kid.
SHE ‘MADE HER BANDMATES CHANGE THEIR NAMES’
It was recently reported that Beyoncé’ is “in talks” for a Destiny’s Child reunion with bandmates Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland.
But according to yet another shocking conspiracy theory, the singer is the reason why Michelle and Kelly aren’t known by their birth names.
According to The Telegraph, some believe Michelle, born Tenitra, and Kelly, born Kelendria, were forced to change their names to ensure Beyoncé – who is named after her mum’s maiden name, Beyincé – stood out.
Conspiracy theorists allege that Bey’s dad Mathew, who managed the Bootylicious andSay My Name group, wanted to keep his daughter in the limelight.
Yet even if this was the case, there were clearly no hard feelings – the close trio performed together on stage at Coachella two years ago.
And sources say more gigs and new music could be in the pipeline for the group later this year, once the Covid pandemic is over.
