Yes, folks, Beyonce really is pregnant.

Following an appearance on Australia’s Sunday Night, in which she revealed her due month and said the impending baby has already “changed her life,” a positively nutty rumor sprang up: the singer was donning a prosthetic baby bump because a surrogate was actually having her child, yet she wanted the publicity that came along with it.

All the chatter stemmed from this photo. Notice the supposed “fold” in her stomach?

Forced to address the supposed conspiracy, Beyonce’s publicist Yvette Noel-Schure gave a statement to ABC News that simply labeled the talk of a pretend pregnancy as “stupid, ridiculous and false.”

We’d have to agree. Do you? Watch the full interview and then vote: Do you believe that Beyonce is pregnant?
