Los Angeles, Jan 14 (IANS): The former Destiny's Child singer Michelle Williams has denied rumours that her friend Beyonce Knowles is pregnant.

Beyonce sparked rumours she is expecting her second child with husband Jay Z Sunday after she posted the photograph of a baby bump sculpted out of sand, but now Michelle has shot down the speculation saying it’s a silly conclusion to jump to, reports mirror.co.uk.

Speaking on the TV show “The View”, Williams said: “First of all, if you look at the picture, the baby bump is probably where her knees probably really are... Just stop it, stop it.”

The 34-year-old singer also mentioned how Beyonce is always secretive with her personal life, with rumours suggesting she wasn’t pregnant circulating when she was expecting her first child, Blue Ivy, who was born three years ago.

She added: “You know, when she was pregnant, people said that she wasn't pregnant. There’s just no truth to it. Sorry!”
