Hollywood
is getting in “Formation” to congratulate Beyoncé on her pregnancy.
Immediately
following the superstar’s announcement on Wednesday that she and husband Jay Z
are expecting twins, the couple’s fellow celebrities began flooding social
media with reactions and well wishes.
Rihanna
chimed in on Instagram, sharing Beyoncé’s
baby bump photo alongside a caption congratulating the icon and “my big brother Jay.”
Chrissy Teigen teasingly one-upped Queen Bey with a tweet joking that she has triplets on the way, before giving her “best friend” a more serious shout-out.
But really. Congrats to my best friend Beyonce I love you so much. Hive forever.
