With Beyoncé and Jay-Z as parents, Blue Ivy was born into music royalty when she arrived in January 2012.
“Her birth was emotional and extremely peaceful,” the couple wrote in a statement at the time. “We are in heaven.” They went on to write that the little one was “delivered naturally at a healthy 7 lbs and it was the best experience of” their lives. (Beyoncé and Jay-Z went on to welcome twins Sir and Rumi in 2017.)
Blue Ivy began following in her parents’ famous footsteps at a young age, as Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles, exclusively told Us Weekly in November 2018 that Blue Ivy had been performing “since birth.”
Earlier that year, Beyoncé’s father, Mathew Knowles, called Blue Ivy “a star,” telling Us that Blue Ivy shares a lot of traits with her mother and aunt. “[Blue Ivy] reminds me a lot of Beyoncé and Solange [Knowles] when they were that age,” he explained in April 2018. “I can see [them in her].”
Mathew went on to state that he will support Blue Ivy “in anything and everything,” as long as she is passionate about it. “’If it is your passion, then you have a huge chance of being successful. It can’t be what I want or what your mother and father want. It needs to be what you want to do,’” he said. “So if that was [her] passion, absolutely, I would be all for it.”
