Beyonce fans reckon they’ve spotted a sweet dedications page on her new album, with the singer sharing the love for her children, her mother Tina, and her uncle Johnny.

The Break My Soul hitmaker’s mum Tina shared an unboxing of the physical album on her Instagram – and it looks absolutely beautiful.

Eagle-eyed fans spotted that the booklet contained inside the album (which is coming very soon!) has what looks like a dedications page with three photos.

Now, you might need a major zoom-in for this next part, but fans reckon the photos look like they could be of her three children – Blue Ivy, Sir, and Rumi – her mum Tina, and uncle Johnny.

Johnny was Tina’s best friend and helped raise Beyonce and her sister Solange.

He died of HIV complications, with Beyonce previously explaining that seeing him go through the illness was ‘one of the most painful experiences’ of her life.

Paying tribute to him at the 2019 Glaad Awards when she accepted the Vanguard Award, Beyonce described him as ‘the most fabulous gay man I have ever met’.

‘[He lived] his truth and was brave and unapologetic at a time when this country wasn’t as accepting,’ she added.

‘Witnessing his battle with HIV was one of the most painful experiences I’ve ever lived… I’m hopeful that his struggled served to open pathways for other young people to live more freely.’

She had previously opened up on Johnny’s impact on her life, saying he helped her and Solange with their first costumes, and even helped Beyonce make her prom dress.

Renaissance is set for release on Friday and fans can’t wait to hear what our queen has got in store.

A source told Metro.co.uk: ‘The album campaign is a multi-storied experience so she has space to play with her favourite genres and visual motifs. 

She’s going 90s supermodel on Renaissance but will be more demure and earthy on other songs.’ 

Break My Soul reached number four in the UK and 12 on the US’ Billboard Hot 100 chart, while clocking over 14million streams in its first few days of release.
