Beyoncé might be expecting a second child with rapper husband Jay Z after all.

The R&B Diva took to her Instagram account on Sunday to share a cryptic photo that suggests she is pregnant. The image sees her buried in the sand, sporting what appears to be a baby bump on her stomach:

OK! magazine reported in September the Brooklyn emcee had been quite protective of his wife -- similar to the way he acted when she was pregnant with their now 3-year-old daughter.

"For the last month, Jay has been fiercely protective of her, just like he was when she was expecting Blue Ivy," the source said. "He's been doing everything he can to ensure that Bey is in a stress-free bubble. He's informed their entire entourage that they need to use relaxed voices, mellow lighting and listen to only soft music, and he's said that all of the food Beyoncé eats should be organic. He's really doing his best to make sure that she's as comfortable and healthy as possible."

Also, Hov previously hinted Bey was having baby No. 2, while performing at the couple's "On the Run" joint world tour at Paris' Stade de France on Sept. 12, 2014, as he changed his lyrics off "Beach Is Better" from "I replace it with another one" to "cause she's pregnant with another one":

According to OK! magazine, Blue Ivy's sibling is on the way, as the "Flawless" hitmaker apparently told her close friends at Kelly Rowland's baby shower back in August.

"She told friends baby No. 2 is on the way!" an attendee said at the time.
