In spite of reports in past weeks of Beyoncé giving birth to her baby to ring in 2012 , the singer is still very much pregnant (such a surprise that
MediaTakeOut was wrong AGAIN). However, once Babyoncé officially arrives, fans and media alike shouldn’t expect to see the newborn featured on a magazine cover.
According to the
Huffington Post, Beyonce and rap star husband Jay-Z will not be selling pictures of their child (rumored to be a girl).
Today, once a celebrity baby is born, it seems the parents head straight to a magazine to sell photos of their new family addition. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie sold pictures of their twins, Knox and Vivienne, for close to $12 million, with the proceeds being donated to charity. Other celebrities who have sold baby pictures include Jennifer Lopez, Matthew McConaughey, and Tori Spelling. However, that can’t be expected of this celebrity couple.

"They are one of the most private couples," one magazine editor told Huffington Post. "We have made several offers to their people about running exclusive images of mother and baby and no one has responded."
"If Beyonce and Jay-Z do decide to share their child with the world, they will probably go the same route as Tom Cruise and Katie [Holmes]," the editor went on to explain. "Instead of selling the images to a weekly publication, they would give them away for nothing to lock in a cover of a monthly like
Vanity Fair. But knowing this couple, it is unlikely we will ever see a staged picture of the child."
I'm not shocked. I, along with stans across the globe, am dying to see this baby. However, Bey and Jay have always been private people, which is why I think they've lasted this long (Even though they just got married in April 2008, they've been together for at least 10 years!). So it's definitely not a surprise that they would want to keep their baby (rumored to be
a girl thanks to Auntie Kelly Rowland) away from all of the media frenzy.
