Tina Knowles-Lawson gave an update on Beyoncé's pregnancy when she walked the carpet at the 2017 Where Art Can Occur (WACO) Wearable Art Gala in Los Angeles on Saturday.

The 59-year-old fashion designer came to the event, at the California African American Museum, with her new husband Richard Lawson in tow.

In an interview with Extra's Mario Lopez, Tina gushed about becoming a grandma again with Beyoncé's twins, which she described as the "biggest blessing". She added that her daughter is doing well. "She's feeling really good," she said.

Beyoncé announced in February that she was expecting twins with husband Jay-Z in an Instagram post of herself showing her baby bump. "We have been blessed two times over," read the post's caption. The singer added that she and her husband wanted to share their love and happiness to their fans and are grateful that their family will be growing by two.

There has been plenty of speculation about her twins' gender, especially as she was seen months ago sporting the earrings that she wore in the 2006 music video "If I Were a Boy."

Her mom Tina claims she has "no idea" about the gender, adding, "I would be happy with whatever God gives me."

Tina also gushed about living in LA with her new husband. "Who would've thought at 59 years old, I'd come back and have a new man, a new house, in a new city?" she said. Both have known each other for the past 35 years before being involved romantically.

"What we admired about each other was that she helped hundreds of people. And I've always been a helper," Richard said. The husband and wife built the new non-profit WACO Theater and Performing Arts Center to help aspiring actors in L.A.

Left to themselves, the English are notoriously slow to make any kind of public display, so in trying to understand what’s really going on here, perhaps we should ask why people have felt moved to behave in so ‘unBritish’ a way?
