Photo of Beyonce Twins, Now a Month Old, Captivates Internet

Exactly one month after the birth of her twins with Jay-Z, Beyonce shared a first photo with her fans on Instagram.

The photo used the same rose backdrop as the photo she used to announce that she was pregnant with the twins, and showed her wearing a veil and draped in floral fabric, holding Sir Carter and Rumi in her arms. Both photos paid homage to the painting “The Birth of Venus,” with the earlier one taken by Awol Erizku and the latter by Mason Poole, according to The New York Times.

The simple caption read, “Sir Carter and Rumi 1 month today,” with emojis to represent each member of the family. After just a few hours, the post had more than 8 million likes and 277,000 comments.

The twins are the second and third children of Beyonce and Jay-Z; they also have 5-year-old Blue Ivy.

Twitter was ecstatic to see the new little bundles of joy.

Breathtaking. ❤️ https://t.co/4AYN08wO5e
