Beyoncé's dad surprised and was totally unaware of her daughter's twin pregnancy

Beyoncé s dad and former manager, Matthew Knowles had no idea she was pregnant. Mathew, who teaches entertainment industry courses at Texas Southern University, told The Insider:

"I was shocked. Let me tell you what happened. I got a first text, and I was like, 'Why is this person saying congratulations?'

"Then I get a second text from one of my students at Texas Southern, and I was like, 'What are you talking about?' He was like, 'Go to the web.' I didn't know myself."

However, once he heard the news, Mathew said he quickly called his daughter and they had a "wonderful" chat.

"I was like 'B,' [and] she said, 'Hi, Dad.' I was like, 'You're OK?' Because she sounded a little tired because she's working on the Grammy performance."We just had a wonderful daughter-dad conversation. [But] I'm not gonna tell you all of that..."Beyoncé and I had a great conversation. I'm looking forward to seeing her soon and I told her, 'Look, slow down a little bit. You need to slow down a little bit.'

On making the revelation herself, he said it was smart

""That was very smart that she did it rather than someone else, [like] the media, doing it. So I think that was a really smart move on her."
