The photo quickly gained 6.33 million likes less than eight hours after she posted it to Instagram.

The post also has over 334,000 comments -- and the numbers are still climbing.

That already beats previous record holder Selena Gomez, whose Instagram sponsored post of herself sipping a Coke last June has garnered 6.3 million likes to date (and 250,000 comments).

Within one hour of Beyonce's post going live, it had 2.43 million likes and 166,000 comments.

The 20-time Grammy winner's news also was burning up Twitter, which reported 500,000 tweets about the twins announcement in the 45 minutes after her Instagram post went up.

Twitter web traffic peaked at 17,000 tweets per minute.

Beyonce and husband Jay Z (aka Shawn Carter) also have a 5-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy.

"We would like to share our love and happiness."

"We have been blessed two times over," Beyonce wrote in her Instagram post.
