These are the Most Liked Celebs on Instagram

Beyoncé has finally debuted the first pictures of her twins, Sir Carter and Rumi, whose birth details were unknown and long awaited by her fans until her Instagram post.

Social media was similarly abuzz in February when the 35-year-old singer, whose full name is Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter, posted a photo of herself wearing a long veil and lingerie and caressing a noticeable baby bump. The pop diva and her rapper husband, Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter, were already the parents of daughter Blue Ivy, now 5 years old.

The photo broke an Instagram record, becoming the most liked post of all time, receiving over 11 million likes. With the overwhelming response from her fans and followers on her photo revealing the twins, already 8.4 million and counting, she could be on track to break her own record.
