Beyoncé’s Private World With Kids Blue Ivy, Rumi, Sir Carter

In Beyoncé and Jay-Z‘s family, there’s room in the spotlight for whoever wants to be in it.

While their 8-year-old son Sir Carter is “more into books and electronics,” grandma Tina Knowles told E! News, his twin sister Rumi Carter “is a natural little star.”

And seeing Rumi onstage with big sister Blue Ivy Carter, who’s turning 14 Jan. 7, on opening night of their mom’s Cowboy Carter Tour last April left no doubt as to who’s running this world. 

“I build my work schedule around my family,” Beyoncé, 44 (cheers to the double occurrence of the artist’s favorite number), told GQ in 2024. “I try to only tour when my kids are out of school. I always dreamt of a life where I could see the world with my family and expose them to different languages, architecture, and lifestyles.”

She added, “Raising three kids isn’t easy. The older they get, the more they become their own individuals with unique needs, hobbies, and social lives.”

And in the household she shares with her husband of almost 18 years, Blue, Rumi and Sir all have the freedom to explore their interests.
