U.S. pop diva Beyonce has given birth to a girl named Ivy Blue Carter, media reports said. The baby and mother are doing well.

The New York Daily News reported the singer checked into Lenox Hill Hospital on Manhattan’s Upper East Side the night of Jan. 6 under the name “Ingrid Jackson.”

Beyonce and her husband, hip-hop star Jay-Z, rented out the hospital’s entire fourth floor for $1.3 million, the report said.

On the night of Jan. 7, people were seen bringing bags of food and bottles of red wine into the heavily guarded hospital wing, apparently for celebrations, the New York Daily News noted.

Several security guards were spotted patrolling the perimeter of the hospital, the paper said.
There has been no official confirmation of the birth.
