Jay-Z & Beyonce's Baby Gender Revealed

Fans anticipating the birth of super music couple Jay-Z and Beyonce have reason to get a bit more excited as new reports claim they are expecting a girl.

Reports of the couple's baby girl began circulating online early Thursday (October 27).

Beyoncé has seen a lot of dreams come true in her life -- but this one tops them all. The singer has learned she's expecting a girl, an insider tells In Touch exclusively. "Beyoncé is thrilled she's having a daughter," confides a close friend of the singer's, explaining that while Beyoncé and her husband, Jay-Z, would be happy to have a healthy child of either sex, she'd secretly been hoping for a girl. "She and her mother are so close, and she's wanted to have that relationship with her own child." (In Touch Weekly)

Beyonce has also reportedly begun purchasing numerous clothes for the baby.

The source also alleges that the fashionista is so eager to play dress-up with her baby girl that she has been swiping her credit card to buy the future 'Diva' mini outfits from designer brands like Gucci and Louis Vuitton. "Her family's afraid there won't be anything left to buy for her baby shower in December!" the source claimed. To go along with her wardrobe fit for a princess, Queen B's daughter will have a palace-sized nursery to match -- a reported 2,000 square foot nursery to be exact. We're guessing it will be pimped out with a gilded crib and diamond-encrusted baby monitor, too. (AOL Music)

Hov and Bey are expected to welcome their daughter's birth in early 2012.

"If it's any time, right now is the time. I'm so happy," Beyoncé says of her pregnancy with Australia's Channel 7 "Sunday Night" show via AOL. During an interview with Beyoncé, Sunday Night reveals Bey' and Jay-Z expect her baby in February 2012. "It already has changed my life," Beyoncé told Sunday Night Show. "My husband and I have been together for ten years. All of my 20s, since I was 20. I just felt like it's time. I'm very grateful that God has bless ed me with the biggest gift any human being can have." (Billboard)

In September, the Grammy-winning singer addressed the joys she's been experiencing while awaiting her firstborn.

"Actually I am having so much fun, it has been the most fun time now that it has been announced and I don't have to [hide it] ... it was really difficult to conceal, but now that I can be proud and excited about it I'm having so much fun shopping -- it's great," she explained in an interview. "My mother has always told me that beauty comes from within and what's exciting about being a woman is you can say today I feel like being, today I feel really conservative, today I'm feeling classy, today I am going on a date and I want to just be a showstopper and you know; there is this variety of beautiful clothes that can bring out whatever you feel inside but it comes from here and you should wear your clothes they shouldn't wear you."
