Beyonce to give birth at home as couple build $1m maternity ward

As the world’s richest celebrity couple, Beyoncé and Jay Z do nothing by halves and that includes the imminent birth of their twins. The Mail on Sunday can reveal that the couple are shunning a traditional hospital delivery room and are instead turning their Hollywood mansion into a $1 million private maternity ward.

Beyonce, 35, is expecting twins by her husband Jay-Z, 47 soon—to join their daughter Blue Ivy, 5 and according to reports, the celebrity couple are reportedly installing a $1 million maternity unit in their Hollywood home.

The couple who are due to welcome their twins into the world in the coming weeks feels it was best for their “privacy and safety” to give birth at home, by going as far as installing medical equipment including incubators and “an entire professional neonatal wing” to their rental property over the last few days.

Installing the medical equipment at the £20 million nine-bedroom house – which once belonged to Madonna – should avoid a repeat of the row which broke out in 2012 when Beyoncé gave birth to her daughter, Blue Ivy, in New York’s Lenox Hill Hospital.

The singer announced her pregnancy in February.
