Beyonce has shared the first picture of herself with her twins as they turn one-month-old.
The 35-year-old mother-of-three was pictured standing barefoot in front of a floral archway, with the twins draped in a purple sheet, while she is seen wearing a blue veil.
In the caption she also confirmed that their names are Sir Carter and Rumi - which had been rumoured after she and Jay-Z filed a trademark for the names.
“This is my real life,” he says. “I just ran into this place and we built this big, beautiful mansion of a relationship that wasn't totally built on the 100 per cent truth and it starts cracking. Things started happening that the public can see.
“Then we had to get to a point of 'OK, tear this down and let's start from the beginning... it's the hardest thing I've ever done.”
Jay-Z also seemed to suggest that trying to repair his marriage was harder than growing up in Marcy Projects, and recalled a moment where he had begged Beyonce not to leave him.
The accompanying photograph is a homage to her pregnancy announcement photo, and features the artist in pink floral dress sleeves and a long blue veil, in front of a wall of roses. It received 700,000 likes within 30 minutes of being posted.
The US singer also confirmed they are called Sir Carter and Rumi - which had been rumoured after she and husband Jay-Z filed a trademark for the names.
The picture showed the 35-year-old mother-of-three and the twins draped in a purple floral sheet, while she wore a blue veil.
The trademarks are for cosmetics, baby accessories, key chains, mugs, water bottles, hair ribbons, playing cards, tote bags, sports balls, and novelty items.
The Instagram post is the first official announcement from the couple since their twins’ birth, although on 19 June Beyoncé’s father, Mathew Knowles, posted a birthday message to the twins:
It clocked up more than two million likes on Instagram in an hour.
Beyonce wrote:
"Sir Carter and Rumi 1 month today", with a string of emojis of prayer hands and a woman, man, little girl and two babies.
As well as the twins, a boy and a girl, Beyonce and rapper Jay-Z are also parents to five-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy.The world had been eagerly awaiting the first glimpse of the babies ever since American media reported the Lemonade singer had given birth last month.But neither she nor Jay-Z had confirmed any details of the twins until now.
The style of the image, in which Beyonce stands in a garden barefoot in front of a floral archway, echoes the photoshoot she used to announce her pregnancy on the network. That post, in February, became the most-liked in the history of Instagram.
Her father Mathew Knowles had tweeted on 18 June, saying: "They're here!" and "Happy birthday to the twins" - but the timing of Beyonce's post suggest they were actually born on 14 June.
It's no surprise that fans were quick to share their thoughts on the picture.
BBC Radio 1 DJ Clara Amfo wrote on Twitter: "Soooo extra and I LOVE it."
But dad Lee Simpson reacted to the picture by tweeting: "Our 1st photo was in Jessops with me in the background eating a packet of quavers."
