The power couple is known for their privacy and ability to keep their personal life separate from the limelight. At Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) Beyonce made a very public announcement with her husband, Sean Carter aka Jay-Z, in the audience. Beyonce is pregnant and she proudly exclaimed before her performance, “I want you to feel the love that’s growing inside me!”
