No official announcement about the babies' names or sex has been made, but the singer reportedly gave birth earlier this week in Los Angeles, causing both parents to miss Jay Z's induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in New York. Beyoncé made her pregnancy public five months ago with a highly-stylized Instagram photo.
