She made her first public announcement that she was going to become a mother in a dramatic way, on stage and according to her own wishes.

 And by hiding her belly with a large outfit, a deliberate body posture, and strategically placed items, Beyonce keeps stoking rumors that she is carrying another kid.

 During Sunday’s lunch at Nobu in Malibu with her husband, Jay Z, and daughter, Blue Ivy, the 33-year-old singer went to considerable measures to protect her tum.

A matching forest green top and pants combo with black and white panels was worn by the irreplaceable hitmaker; it was form-fitting across her lower body and loose at the top. 

 She prudently wrapped a dark green checkered sweater around her stomach, maybe feeling a little chilly at the hip sushi restaurant by the sea.

 The beauty wore a matte pink lip color and had her golden hair loose beneath a black fedora.

Her 45-year-old rapper husband wore camel-colored boots, aviators, dark green cargo pants, and a grey T-shirt for a laid-back look.

 Additionally, Blue Ivy, their young princess, looked gorgeous wearing a sleeveless pink dress over a cropped black leather jacket. 

 A swarm of handlers helped the family get out of a black Tesla electric vehicle.

Before an assistant held Blue Ivy while she adjusted her leather purse, Beyonce took the girl out of the car.

 She initially strapped the big bag over her shoulder, but as she ascended to the celebrity-friendly location, she reportedly decided it would be more comfortable to carry it in front of her body.

 The Carters dined on a patio overlooking the lovely shoreline, with large wooden partitions in place to provide seclusion.

As they bent over to admire the scenery, the hip-hop entrepreneur and his three-year-old were very impressed.

 But Beyonce sat down just behind the privacy panels that had been put up.

 The superstar family’s favorite restaurant is Nobu, where they have regularly eaten with Blue Ivy at a place close to their Tribeca home in New York City.

 Jay-Z has really been frequenting the Japanese eatery since he mentioned it by name in his 2007 song Success off the American Gangster soundtrack.

When the Crazy In Love singer was spotted on a date night with Jay Z in Hollywood on Thursday, wearing a loose-fitting fuchsia dress, rumors of her pregnancy were rekindled.

 She hasn’t said anything about it yet, but it’s reminiscent of the title of one of her popular songs. 

 Until she revealed the news at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards, the songbird remained silent despite rumors that she was expecting Blue Ivy.

The artist shocked fans and viewers by wearing a sequined blazer during an award show performance and taking it off to reveal her baby belly on stage. This validated months of rumors.

 Her first child was born two months later. 

 She talked candidly about her upcoming kid after revealing her large baby belly, as well as stories of her strange pregnancy cravings.

She was interviewed on 20/20 at the time by Katie Couric, who questioned her about reports of having a voracious appetite when pregnant with Blue Ivy.  

 Beyonce retorted that it was untrue when she added, “I’ve read that I like ketchup on everything.”

 She persisted in her questioning, saying, “I also read that you like ice cream with hot chili sauce.” 

 The Halo singer retorted, “Yeah, that’s very strange,” denying that tales of her cravings were true. 

 She then related an embarrassing experience she had with a person who read about other strange mixtures.
