When Lady Gaga posted a photo of herself on Instagram, with a caption about how beautiful Houston is, she also put an emoji of a bee in the caption.

But, it looks like the reports were purely speculation. Very recently, Beyonce announced that she and husband Jay-Z are expecting twin babies. (Instagram/LadyGaga)
