Apparently, the Knowles-Carter twins have arrived. Or did they? We're really confused. Neither Beyoncé or Jay-Z have announced the birth, but Matthew Knowles, Beyoncé's father, sent a tweet on Father's Day that confirmed the twins have indeed entered the world.

But the beloved matriarch of the family, Tina Lawson, has been mysteriously mum about her newest grandkids.

Her latest Instagram post was taken across the country from Beyoncé, and subsequently had everyone scratching their heads wondering if the twins were actually born over the weekend, born earlier last week, or at all.

On Sunday, the morning after the alleged arrival day of our Gemini saviors, Lawson posted a video from New York, explaining she was there for a friend's son's wedding. "God lets things happen in his time not ours! Don't try to rush him!" she cryptically added to the post. We all know she would never miss the birth of the twins, who have been reportedly born in Los Angeles, which begs us to ask a few questions that desperately need answers.

Were the twins born on Monday, as TMZ reported?

Does her caption insinuate the twins haven't been born at all yet?

Were the twins actually born in New York City rather than Los Angeles as previously suspected?

Are we looking too much into this? That is, unfortunately, the one thing we definitely have an answer for: yes.

Guess it's not real until we hear it from Beyoncé herself.
