Is Beyoncé expecting her second child with Jay Z?

Ever since the singer gave birth to her first child three years ago, her fans and the media have been on baby bump watch. Earlier this week, fresh rumors sparked that she is expecting after she was photographed covering her stomach with a laptop. 

In photos posted on Entertainment Tonight, Beyoncé was seen alighting from a helicopter with Jay Z and daughter Blue Ivy at the West 30th Street Heliport in New York City. In the shot, the 33-year old singer is wearing a loose fitting, white maxi-dress with a baggy jean jacket on top, her hair pulled back in a ponytail. She accessorized with dark glasses and held a silver laptop over her stomach, while holding a camera with her other hand. 

OK! Magazine sparked the latest pregnancy rumors last week, saying that a source told them that the pair is expecting a second child after rounds of IVF treatment. The source told the magazine that the singer has taken to hiding her stomach wherever she is going to be seen in public.

"Even though she's barely showing, she's paranoid that someone will pick up on it, so she's hiding her stomach whenever she goes out," the source said. 

The insider added that the "Single Ladies" singer and Jay Z have been keeping the pregnancy a secret because of what they went through when she suffered a miscarriage, which she discussed in her 2013 HBO documentary "Life is But a Dream," and that they allegedly don't want to "jinx" it by talking about it before the three-month mark. 

Representatives for Beyoncé and Jay Z have yet to comment on the pregnancy rumors.

If the star is indeed pregnant, it is speculated that she might make the announcement at this year's MTV Video Music Awards. Beyoncé announced her first pregnancy at the 2011 VMA's during her performance of "Love on Top."
