Beyoncé’s interview with Katie Couric aired last week and “B” was open about a lot of things, including hiding her pregnancy.
She said: “Physically I was starting to show, so it was only a matter of days before someone zoomed in. So I just wanted it to be from me, and I wanted it to be something that was a celebration of something so beautiful. I figured the biggest statement was to just be.”
“Honestly, I just felt free. I really did, because I’d been holding the most exciting thing in for so long, and I just felt like, ‘Wow, now I can enjoy and now I can just experience this the way that every woman should.’ I felt like, ‘Oh, I can breathe and be happy.’ It was a beautiful feeling. I went straight off the stage and cried. I hugged my mom, I hugged Jay and just cried. It was a beautiful day.”
Beyoncé also admitted she hasn’t been having any crazy pregnancy cravings, even though there were rumors she liked ketchup on everything and ice-cream with hot sauce.
She said: “I was on a plane and the flight attendant came and was like, ‘I have your hot sauce and pickles and bananas.’ And I’m like, ‘That is absolutely disgusting, what are you doing?’ He’s like, ‘I read it on the Internet.’ ”
There have been other rumors that Beyonce has a fake baby bump and is using a surrogate.
She said: “I’ve been really conscious and I’ve been trying my best not to lose control because I’ve met so many people who say, ‘My second baby, my third baby, I learned my lesson.’ I haven’t been going crazy. I know that it’s important that I don’t lose myself.”
“I know it’s going to be difficult at times and I know that, like my mother, I’m going to get on my child’s nerves but it’s all out of love and I’m just ready. I’m ready for the next chapter.”
Beyonce also talked about the gown she wore when she married Jay-Z in 2008.
She said: “There were many magazines and people that asked for us to give pictures and that’s not what the wedding was about. It was so private and it was only a few people there, it was in our home. My mother designed that dress and I’m so proud of that dress because she did such a beautiful job. It’s my favorite dress I’ve ever worn.”
