Beyonce and Jay Z have really perfected the way that they handle the media circus that follows them and it rarely involves an actual comment.

Instead, they seem to prefer to have a single photo posted on social media do all of the proverbial talking for them. Think about it. Every time a specific rumor about the status of Beyonce and Jay Z's marriage hits the web they chase it a day or two later with a photo of them with Blue Ivy. They don't tell fans that they are a happy family instead they like to just show them. The last show from their joint On The Run Tour sent fans into a tailspin because Jay changed lyrics that seemed to indicate that Bey might be pregnant with baby number two. The media and fans got to spend a few days over-thinking the possibility before a new photo of Beyonce holding a celebratory glass of champagne appeared.

The shot was taken over the weekend while the couple celebrated the end of their successful tour. According to The New York Post, no one backstage after that final Paris show congratulated the couple as if they were expecting a baby and they partied just as the normally would after wrapping up a show.

Sources close to Beyonce seem to doubt that she would ever even pose with alcohol if she was really pregnant so it now seems pretty unlikely that Blue Ivy is getting a sibling in several months.

Since last spring Beyonce and Jay Z's fans have been trying to figure out what the real deal is. Divorce rumors have been rampant with many stories of conflict and ugly fights having been leaked to the press. Since they are great PR spin doctors themselves, some have even questioned whether or not the baby talk was a red herring intended to divert attention away from the fact that they are ending their marriage and want to do so in peace.

What do you think is really going on with Jay Z and Beyonce? There is an awful lot of gray area in between expecting a baby and filing for divorce, where do you think these two are really at?
