George and Amal Clooney’s pregnancy news has sparked a few jokes about the couple “stealing Beyonce’s thunder”.
Superstar Beyonce made headlines for days when she announced she was expecting twins, siblings for Blue Ivy Carter.

Talk show host Ellen DeGeneres was one of many to congratulate the pair on Twitter.
She mocked up a snap of Hollywood star George holding up the message “we’re having twins” and sitting in the same pose as Beyonce – under a veil and against a backdrop of flowers – when she made her announcement.

Of course there were references to Donald Trump:
More people of color inside Amal Clooney and Beyonce right now than entire Trump administration. The Resistance grows (and is cute!)
