MANHATTAN — Call it destiny's child.

Beyonce made a surprise announcement during Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles, telling the world she is pregnant.

After performing "Love on Top" at the show the singer reportedly placed her hands over her torso, showing her protruding belly.

She set off speculation before the show saying she had a "surprise" while walking the red carpet.

The child will be the first for the dancing diva and husband Jay-Z, who have been married since 2008 and live in Manhattan.

At least one fan couldn't help tease the hip hop mogul.

"Crazy that Beyonce is pregnant. Congrats on the 100th problem Jay Z!" tweeted @ThatMackRamii.
