2017: Beyoncé Announced Her Pregnancy With Twins Sir and Rumi Carter

Beyoncé broke the internet in February 2017 when she announced that she and JAY-Z were expecting twins. She shared a series of gorgeous maternity photos on Instagram, writing, "We are incredibly grateful that our family will be growing by two." Five months later, Bey and Jay welcomed twins Sir and Rumi Carter.

In addition to expanding her family, Beyoncé made her mark in 2017 by announcing the beneficiaries of her Formation Scholars program, which was created to help further the education of Black, female undergraduate and graduate students. She and JAY-Z certainly had a lot to give, considering they officially became a billion-dollar couple in 2017.
