Baby Watch

Beyonce gave birth 2 weeks ago Tuesday, but she and Jay-Z are still dealing with premature birth issues ... sources connected to the family tell TMZ.

Sources familiar with the situation tell us, as of 4 days ago the infants were still in the hospital. As we reported, they are "under the lights" ... which typically means they have jaundice, the result of elevated bilirubin issues. The lights lower bilirubin in the blood to eliminate the jaundice.

We're told none of the medical problems should pose serious long-term issues ... nonetheless, we're told doctors did not want the babies released until they were stabilized.

As we reported ... Beyonce had a boy and a girl.

The release date is unclear.

If you thought Russell Westbrook's swag would drop off after becoming a parent ... THINK AGAIN!! ... 'cause the OKC Thunder star is stuntin' on every daddy out there with his diaper bag game.

Russ -- whose wife gave birth to their son back in May -- is already rockin' the couture dad gear ... sporting a $1,500 Gucci diaper bag while strolling through the streets of Paris.

Brodie's insane swag has never been in question ... now he's proving you can still be fresh while carrying around everything you need to clean your kid's ass.

Beyonce's twins were premature and are "under the lights" to normalize ... this according to sources connected with the family.

We're told Beyonce did not go full-term ... which was not apparent on the surface. Beyonce announced her pregnancy February 1.

TMZ broke the story ... the twins have been in the hospital since their birth a week ago Tuesday with a "minor issue."

Our sources say the babies are "under the lights." They would not be more specific, but that often means the babies have jaundice because of elevated bilirubin levels. The lights are designed to lower bilirubin in the blood to eliminate the jaundice.

The condition is common among preemies and in most cases not dangerous.

Jay-Z is out and about in L.A. and smiling like the proud new dad he is ... which could mean there's good news where Beyonce and the twins are concerned.

Jay was in West Hollywood Monday morning -- the first time he's been spotted away from the hospital since Bey gave birth almost a week ago. TMZ broke the story ... the newborn boy and girl have remained in the hospital due to a "minor issue."

Unclear what Jay-Z was doing, but he was leaving a complex that has a SoulCycle ... and we know he's been known to get his SC on from time to time.

We're told he's been at the hospital with Bey and the twins nearly round the clock, and was seen arriving there early Monday morning.

He didn't have much to say to photogs outside SoulCycle, but we're hoping the smile said it all.

Beyonce has given birth to a boy and a girl, but an issue surfaced that has kept them in the hospital for nearly a week ... TMZ has confirmed.

Sources connected with the family tell us the twins were born Tuesday in a Los Angeles hospital. We're told a "minor issue" surfaced, and as a result ... doctors do not feel comfortable releasing them.

We do not know the nature of the issue.

One source told us Beyonce also remains at the hospital, but as far as we know she's okay. The babies are expected to be okay as well.

It's unclear when everyone will be released.

12:14 PM PT -- Beyonce's mom, Tina Knowles, just liked Mathew's post on IG, making her the 2nd family member to publicly acknowledge the birth.

Beyonce's dad weighed in on the birth of his twin grandkids five days after the infants weighed in.

Mathew Knowles took to social media Sunday with a digital birthday card to Beyonce's new baby boy and girl with a tag that said ... "They're here!" The card read ..."Happy Birthday to the twins! Love, Granddad." He also threw in hashtags like #beyonce #jayz #twins #birthday and #happybirthday.

TMZ broke the story ... the twins were born Tuesday but have remained in the hospital because of a "minor issue." Beyonce has also remained in the hospital with her newborns.

Mathew is the first family member to publicly shout-out the birth.

Beyonce and Jay Z have welcomed their twins into the world ... TMZ has confirmed.

There have been rumblings all week Beyonce gave birth in a Los Angeles hospital. There were signs she might have given birth to a boy and a girl based on balloons that were delivered to a hospital, but no hard evidence so far.

President Obama intimated a few days ago the twins might be girls, but again ... nothing concrete.

The evidence seems to be mounting ... 5-year-old Blue Ivy could earn some serious babysitting cash.

Serena Williams is such an insane athlete, she's playing tennis while 7 months pregnant -- and will still destroy all comers!!

SW is roughly 28 weeks with child (that's the 3rd trimester btw) -- but despite her growing baby bump, the tennis superstar busted out her racket and smashed some baseline forehands this morning.

To put it in perspective, Parents.com says her baby should be the size of an eggplant right now!

We already know she won the Australian Open while that human being was cooking inside her. Question is ... how many people could she take down now?

Dustin Johnson's having a busy week -- his fiancee, Paulina Gretzky, gave birth on Monday ... and then he flew out to Wisconsin for the U.S. open on Tuesday -- and it's all part of the family plan.

With Paulina ready to pop, the couple planned for a C-section delivery at an L.A. hospital on Monday -- giving Johnson enough time to attend the birth and still make it to the golf tourney, which starts Thursday.

Everything went according to plan, according to ESPN's Ian O'Connor, who says Paulina delivered a bouncing baby boy on Monday. The couple picked the name River Jones Johnson.

Sources tell TMZ Sports Dustin and Wayne Gretzky were both at the hospital for the special moment.

The very next day, DJ hopped on a flight to Erin, Wisconsin to gear up for the U.S. Open with a clear head -- knowing Paulina and baby are happy and healthy back home.

Our Erin, Wisconsin sources (yeah, we got those) tell us Dustin appeared focused on golf and confident when he got to Wisconsin -- but he's clearly pumped about having his 2nd kid.

Jay Z is jamming all the way down in Jamaica, and ya gotta wonder if pregnant Beyonce is waiting in vain ... back in L.A.

If ya missed the references -- Jay was spotted Friday in Kingston, where he was recording new music with Damian Marley ... in Bob Marley's legendary Tuff Gong Studio.

By most calendars, Bey should be within days of having the twins. Remember, Mathew Knowles recently told us she was "more than 2 weeks" away from popping -- and that was 3 weeks ago! So ... tick, tick, tick.

But Jay being a solid 6 hours away by private jet must mean the coast is clear ... for today, anyway.

Bottom line? Don't worry about a thing ...

Halle Berry couldn't stomach rumors she was pregnant, so she let her stomach do the talking to prove she's not.

The 50-year-old actress was leaving Cecconi's restaurant in WeHo Thursday night ... baring just enough to throw shade on everyone who jumped to conclusions based on photos taken a few days ago.

As we reported, we confirmed Halle's not having another kid, but hey ... this is hard evidence.

George and Amal Clooney are officially parents after she popped out twins ... a girl and a boy!

Their rep says the birth went down Tuesday morning ... and the lil Clooneys are named Ella and Alexander.

The high-profile couple had actually been keeping a low-profile lately in England. The last time Amal was out in public was at "The Promise" premiere on April 6 in London. You'll recall, George showed up to an event 20 days later in London ... with no Amal in sight.

Amal did throw George a surprise birthday party last month in London.

Their reps says mom and the kids are "healthy, happy and doing fine. George is sedated and should recover in a few days."

More like 18 years. Congrats!

Halle Berry is not pregnant ... repeat, not pregnant ... this according to reliable sources very close to the actress.

This pic raised some eyebrows over the weekend, but Halle shot the rumors down, saying, "Can a girl have some steak and fries??"

Now, she could be lying, but we know she's telling people super close to her it's not true, and she's not really dating anyone anyway.

The 50-year-old has 2 kids.

Where do you go when you're getting ready to welcome your 14th kid into the world?

VEGAS BABY, VEGAS!!!!

That's what Antonio Cromartie and his wife, Terricka, did this week -- relaxing by the pool while the NFL star's fetus gets ready to make his (or her) big debut!

Terricka is 7 months pregnant. This is her 6th kid. Antonio has 8 other kids from previous relationships.

The craziest part of the whole story ... Antonio says he underwent a vasectomy BEFORE she got pregnant with twins last year. Might wanna call that doctor back.

Funny moment with Irish superstar Colin Farrell ... who apparently hasn't done his Irish duty of checking in on Conor McGregor's baby yet.

Farrell jokes that he "should" check up on Ireland's most famous baby -- and then cracks on our photog for not keeping up with Irish politics.

The best part's when Colin tries to zing our Australian camera guy, Charlie, for being an uneducated American.

As for Conor Jr. ... he's chillin'.

J.R. Smith had a helluva day Tuesday ... taking his baby, Dakota, home and winning a playoff game ... and now we have the first photo of daddy and daughter at home.

As we previously reported, Smith and his wife, Shirley, took Kota home yesterday after a miracle 4 month stay in the hospital.

Kota was born in January at only 21 gestational weeks ... and many "experts" thought survival was virtually impossible.

They were wrong.

Kota's home, and J.R.'s 1 win away from the NBA Finals. It's good to be J.R. Smith.
