The couple is deeply in love with their three children: Blue Ivy, Rumi, and Sir.
After marrying in April 2008, Beyoncé and JAY-Z announced their first pregnancy three years later, with Beyoncé subtly revealing the news by cradling her baby bump at the 2011 MTV VMAs. Their daughter, Blue Ivy, was born in January 2012.
Beyoncé shared her joy with PEOPLE, stating that motherhood made her feel more beautiful and connected. JAY-Z, on “The Shop: Uninterrupted,” revealed how fatherhood inspired him to learn how to swim after Blue’s birth to ensure he could protect her.
Blue Ivy won the BET YoungStars Award in July 2024, with her grandmother Tina Knowles celebrating her talent and kindness
In June 2017, their family grew with the arrival of twins, Rumi and Sir. While the couple generally keeps their children out of the public eye, Blue Ivy has made some public appearances, such as dancing with her mom during performances and joining Beyoncé on stage during the Renaissance World Tour.
Blue Ivy’s talents have already been widely recognized. In July 2024, she won the BET YoungStars Award, and her grandmother, Tina Knowles, proudly praised her for her talents and kind nature.
Blue, who TIME once dubbed “the most famous baby in the world” shortly after her birth, has made history in many ways. She became the youngest person to be featured on a Billboard chart after JAY-Z included her vocals on his track “Glory,” and she later won her first Grammy in 2021 for her contribution to “Brown Skin Girl.”
Blue Ivy continues to make her mark, performing, winning awards, and growing in her own unique identity. Despite the fame surrounding her, JAY-Z emphasizes the importance of ensuring his children feel loved and supported in whatever they choose to pursue.
