Beyonce and Jay Z's twins arrived ahead of time.
The babies were born prematurely and are being treated for jaundice, TMZ has reported.
The pair have not left the hospital since arriving eight days ago; it was previously reported doctors had opted to keep them in for a 'minor issue.'
On Sunday Beyonce's dad Mathew Knowles confirmed via Twitter the couple had added two more members to the family, joining five-year-old Blue Ivy.
News that the singer had given birth the day before ignited social media, with the Bey hive fan group buzzing over the yet unrevealed sexes and names of the latest members of the Carter Clan.
'They're here! #beyonce #twins #jayz #happybirthday,' Mathew Knowles wrote on Twitter, posting a card saying: 'Happy birthday to the twins! Love, Granddad.'
There was no such comment from Beyonce or Jay Z, who grew up as Shawn Carter.
Speculation grew when an unidentified woman was photographed Friday carrying a large bouquet of pink, blue and purple flowers - complete with a card that appeared to read 'B + J' - along with twin pink and blue balloons in the shape of feet that read 'Baby Girl' and 'Baby Boy.'
Beyonce revealed in February that she was expecting, commanding the internet by posting a picture of herself kneeling beside a human-size floral arrangement, her hands cradling her rounded belly.
'We would like to share our love and happiness. We have been blessed two times over,' the 35-year-old singer wrote.
Speculation that her due date had approached was fueled earlier this week when Jay Z, 47, was absent at the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
The rapper took to Twitter to thank artists who had influenced him as well as former US president Barack Obama.
