NEW YORK | Sun Jan 8, 2012 6:21pm EST

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Singer Beyonce has given birth to a baby girl in New York, local media reported on Sunday.

The widely anticipated first child of the international star and R&B singer, 30, and rap mogul Jay-Z, 42, whose real name is Shawn Carter, was delivered late on Saturday in a private wing of Lenox Hill Hospital, according to the Daily News.

Spokespersons for the singer did not immediately return comment.

The singer, whose hits include "Beautiful Liar" and "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on it)," showed off her pregnancy on stage earlier in the year at the MTV video awards, performing her song "Love On Top" and telling the audience to stand up. "I want you to feel the love that's growing inside of me," she said then.

And, we should care? It doesn’t take any special talent to get pregnant. Ridiculous attention to ridiculous people.

The “private wing” is only private because Beyonce and Jay-Z made it private by buying temporary ownership. Now other parents can’t visit their wives and babies until Beyonce and her baby vacate the premises.

If Beyonce had an easy time of it, I would suggest that she consider having her next baby at home.
