    Before the twins arrive

    Queen Bey may already share a historical mansion in New Orleans with Jay Z (that they purchased for $2.6 million) but it seems the musical pair are ready for serious Beyoncé house upgrade.

    Now that Beyoncé is pregnant with twins, the couple are obviously thinking about expanding (despite the fact their current former church and ballet studio home already has seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms).

    They're also thinking of buying in Bel Air and it seems they've found their purchase. The rapper put in a $120 million bid for the mansion that spreads over two acres of land and has 11 bedrooms.

    That's not all though, the house also comes with four pools and a garage that can fit 15 cars. Oh, and bulletproof windows, naturally.

    This will be the first Los Angeles real estate that the pair will have invested in, despite them calling LA home for years. And, if they get it, it'll undoubtedly be one of the best celebrity homes in the area.

    Apparently Tom Ford outbid them for a Beverly Hills mansion they wanted previously which may be why Jay Z has gone in so high. If the bid goes through, it'll be the most expensive sale for a Los Angeles County home ever.
