LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – When is Beyonce’s due date? Is the Beyonce baby birth happening before New Year’s Eve? Beyonce’s baby due date has drawn more intentional news speculation than details of any recent album release date. And like the music industry, Beyonce’s baby birth has been the subject of secrets, leaks, and speculation, even from Beyonce herself. And while Beyonce recently told news that safety for the child that has prompted her not to disclose her due date, other news analysts wonder if she already accidentally leaked the due date to news, months earlier. Is Beyonce’s due date by December 31?

The music industry has always loved fascination and intrigue. Beyonce’s baby due date has been no exception. And while Beyonce clearly knows the answer, she’s not telling news, at least not yet. But when you piece together her comments, Jay-Z’s remarks, and Kelly Rowland’s statements, the answer could be that a baby birth is just days away.

Katie Couric tried her best to get a world exclusive out of Beyonce about the Bey-baby arrival. But Beyonce wouldn’t have it. “There are certain things that are so far (out) … it doesn’t even upset you. The truth is, it’s safety. I just want to make sure I can have a peaceful day. And I want to make sure my child is protected.”

But in September, did Beyonce accidentally slip the news of her due date during an interview? On September 23, Beyonce said she was six months pregnant, not three months pregnant. “Right now, I’m actually shooting the video for “Countdown” and I’m six months pregnant, pretending that my stomach is flat in body suits. But thank God, you can’t really tell from the front, but when I turn to the side … oh baby! Oh baby!”

Jay-Z has been quiet as well. But changes to his Watch the Throne tour dates have sparked speculation as well. Jay-Z in August told news that demand for ticket sales prompted him to drop several key dates. But he didn’t pick them up later. His tour wraps this year on December 18, ironically just in time if Beyonce’s due date is by December 31.

And finally, Kelly Rowland has prompted media watch as well. She has said that she will be present with Beyonce for the baby birth. She recently told news “My best friend had a baby and I wasn’t there to see the baby born. That kind of stuff. I get choked up even now talking about it because I wasn’t there. So now it’s important to me to share those moments with my friends and with my family.” She added “I wouldn’t miss the birth of Beyonce’s baby. I can’t. I don’t want to miss those moments. It’s life happening to people that I love and I want to be a part of it.”
