Beyonce took delivery of the child at the New York City’s Lenox Hill Hospital via a scheduled C-section. The Houston Chronicle reports that both mother and baby are ‘doing fine’.
Reports say the celebrity couple rented the entire fourth floor of Lenox Hill Hospital, on Manhattan’s Upper East Side for Bey’s delivery. The New Daily reports the costing to be a total of $1.3M (N210.4M).
The paper also reports that Bey, 30 had checked into the hospital under an alias named ‘Ingrid Jackson’. The hospital’s management had instructed all staff hand in their cell phones in an effort to caution ‘unauthorized photographs’ or clips of the mother and the ‘newly born’. Tapes were also used to cover security cameras.
‘Welcome to the world princess Carter! Love Aunty Rih’, @rihanna tweeted.
Former Destinys Child partner and very close friend Kelly Rowland had spilled the news of the baby’s sex back in November 2011.
Beyonce revealed had her pregnancy at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards in August 2011, arriving in a dress that showed off her baby bump.
Speculations of a fake pregnancy had risen shortly after with claims that the singer was using a prosthetic. Her reps subsequently denied the rumours.
UPDATE
The couple have formally announced the baby’s name as Blue Ivy Carter
