Beyonce upstaged every performer at Sunday night's MTV Video Music Awards before the show even began - she announced she and hubby Jay-Z are expecting a baby.

The soon-to-be-30 superstar arrived on the carpet holding her bulging belly while dressed in a loose-fitting, flowing red gown. MTV tweeted the news, and photos confirming her motherly status soon circulated.

Beyonce and Jay-Z have been married for three years; ever since they wed, the spawn watch has been on, with rumors of an impending announcement coming every few months.

Beyonce's announcement overshadowed the night's events, including Lady Gaga's cross-dressing performance to kick off the show.
