“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.”

One week after Beyoncé gave birth, her Destiny's Child bandmate Michelle Williams said the multiplatinum singer and her husband had "already settled into their role of being parents, and it's just awesome to see."
Hip-hop heavyweight Jay Z was so overwhelmed by Blue Ivy's arrival that he immediately recorded "Glory," a touching song about the couple's struggle to conceive and the joys of parenthood.
The pairfiled an application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to protect their daughter's name. The A-list musicians intend to use Blue Ivy as a potential brand name for a line of baby products, including carriages, diaper bags and baby cosmetics.
Beyoncé has fully embraced motherhood, even the less-than-glamorous aspects of it. "I love changing diapers," she told Anderson Cooper in 2012. "I love it. I love every moment of it, it's so beautiful. I love it all!"
Beyoncé’s love for her baby girl is as deep as the ocean is blue. The “Love On Top” singer posted this snap of herself exchanging a loving look with baby Blue Ivy, then 11 months, aboard what looks like a boat in December 2012.
Happy feet! Though the couple are hesitant about letting their little girl get too exposed in the media, they have no problem sharing touching intimate snapshots like this one on Beyoncé's Tumblr blog.
Jay Z reportedly dropped major money to make sure that wife Beyoncé and their baby could stay nearby while he worked the stage at Brooklyn's new Barclays Center. "Jay rents a luxurious basement suite for $1 million a year," a source told Us. "It has an area for Blue filled with toys."
The verdict was out about which of her musical parents baby Blue looked more like, but R&B crooner Melanie Fiona said the little gal is the spitting image of Jay Z. "Beyoncé says Blue changes every day and looks just like Jay now," Fiona told Us.
Ever-stylish mommy Beyonce donned shades and a grey hat during a midday playdate with her favorite toddler, daughter Blue Ivy, in NYC. "[She's] my homey, my best friend," she "Halo" singer has said of her mini-me.
What's that you say, Blue? Beyoncé's life with her tot looked beachy keen in a photo the singer shared on her Tumblr page in July 2013, smack in the middle of her Mrs. Carter World Tour. In the photo, the pop diva let her hair down in soft blonde waves while Blue wore a ruffled tank top and a wide-brimmed hat.
Following mom Beyoncé’s epic Video Vanguard Award performance at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards, little Blue was brought on stage by her dad. Her proud mother gave her a kiss as she waved to the crowd and clapped for Bey.
After Blue’s mom and dad wrapped their On the Run Tour in Paris in September 2014, the family went sightseeing. The famed Louvre Museum shut down so Blue could walk around the works of art with her A-list parents.
For Halloween 2014, little Blue dressed as her mom’s idol Michael Jackson. Naturally, Bey wore a matching ensemble, going as the late pop icon’s sister Janet Jackson from her Rhythm Nation days.
Following her younger sister Solange Knowles’ New Orleans wedding on November 16, Beyoncé posted a picture of her little girl holding out her hand to her aunt and new uncle, Alan Ferguson.
Having learned from her stylish mama, Blue is passing down her fashion tips to her little siblings. “She’s always picking out clothes for them,” a source exclusively told Us in September 2017, noting that Blue has “great sister instincts” and is quite the attentive older sister. “She’s always checking on them and helping take care of them.”
Blue accompanied her A-list parents to the Grammy Awards in January 2018. The youngster stunned in a white ensemble and was seen serving up some sass at the star-studded event.
Blue posed for a picture with her backpack on in January 2020. “Happy Birthday to my beautiful and oldest granddaughter Blue Ivy,” Mathew Knowles wrote on Instagram at the time. “Love, Papa G.”
Blue made a surprise appearance in her mom’s Ivy Park x Adidas video in October 2020, peeking around the door while her mom posed in a bathtub wearing sneakers.
Blue Ivy became one of the youngest Grammy nominees in history — at the age of 8 — when her name was added to her mom's nomination for "Brown Skin Girl" in the Best Music Video category in December 2020. When the nominations were announced a month earlier, Beyoncé was the only one listed but the Recording Academy later updated the nomination to include both Blue and WizKid, who is also featured on the track. Beyoncé and Jay-Z's eldest daughter has already won two Soul Train Music Awards, BET's Her Award and an NAACP Image Award for the song.
"This is Blue but I swear it looks like Solange [Knowles] dancing at this age," Blue's grandma captioned a January 2021 Instagram video.
In honor of Jay-Z’s November 2021 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, Blue Ivy recited some of his lyrics in a tribute video. The little one was joined by Halle Berry, Queen Latifah and more celebs.
Tina wished her “beautiful, talented and super smart” granddaughter a happy 10th birthday via Instagram in January 2022, gushing, “God it seemed like yesterday you came into the world running things. Blue is my little Capricorn Twin. I prayed for her to be born on my birthday, but she did what she always does. She came when she got good and ready. Three days later, but we still share the bond. She reminds me that, ‘Grandma you are acting just like a Capricorn.’ Blue gives the best advice like a grown person I sometimes forget that she is so young!! Blue is one of those rare, gifted people that can do everything well! God Blessed me the day you were born!”
Blue Ivy looked all grown up at Super Bowl LVII in February 2023. She rocked an all-black fit —including a Tupac tee and opaque sunnies — while accompanying her dad to the big game.
Blue Ivy dazzled in a white off-the-shoulder gown while attending the Grammy Awards with her parents in February 2024. During the ceremony, she joined Jay-Z on stage to accept the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award.

Oh, what fun it is to attend a Kardashian-Jenner Christmas Eve party!
The famous family is known for throwing an extravagant bash every year, a tradition matriarch Kris Jenner passed down to her kids. Kim Kardashian even cried when Kris gave her the baton during a June 2019 episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians.
“I want you guys to be able to do this until you’re my age and one of your kids takes over. That’s the joy,” Kris told Kim at the time. “It’s just the thought of actually not doing at my house. … I’m getting emotional. It makes me sad. It does. It makes me so sad. It’s just that magic that you can make, and make everybody feel so amazing on one night a year. It’s that love. … It’s not just a party. It’s changing of the guards.”
After getting her mom’s “blessing,” Kim went on to explain her decision to take over the party planning.
“Our Christmas Eve party was always this fun party that I just remember being friends and family and my grandparents and cousins. It was just the best night ever,” she shared in a confessional. “But my mom’s been doing it for so long that it’s turned into something different. It’s kind of a party just for my mom and mostly her friends. We want it to be a place that we can just have fun and it’s all of our friends and definitely family and my mom’s friends, too. But a good mix of both so we can have a good time and really just enjoy each other.”
Scroll down to take a look back at some of the family’s most iconic Christmas parties over the years:
According to Khloé, Kendall was the host of the family’s 2024 Christmas Eve get-together. “I didn’t get to make it to the Christmas Eve party, which was a bummer,” she explained in a post-Christmas Instagram Story video, noting that her kids, True and Taum, were both dealing with sickness during the holidays. “But it wasn’t really a party this year. It was just us hanging out at Kendall’s house. But still, I missed being with my family.”
Despite the event being toned-down compared to years past, Kendall dressed in a chic, white silk dress while playing the role of hostess. Kim’s eldest daughter, North, filmed a handful of TikTok videos during the gathering, including one of her and Kim singing along to Ariana Grande’s “Santa Tell Me.”
Kim kicked off the festivities with a winter wonderland theme which included a performance from Babyface, an area for guests to slide down a hill of snow and various other Christmas traditions.
Khloé announced in December 2020 that due to COVID-19 cases “getting out of control” in California, the family decided not to host their annual party. It will be the first time since 1978 that the family has not thrown a big bash for the holiday.
Kourtney hosted the 2019 celebration, which included a performance by Sia. Kim shared photos of the party via her Instagram Stories, calling the décor “homey,” “woodsy” and “cute.” The sisters all wore gorgeous gowns for the night and Kylie Jenner’s daughter matched her with a custom dress from Ralph & Russo.
Celebrity guests, including Hilton and Jennifer Lopez, enjoyed a hot dog stand, sledding, a John Legend concert and an Instagram-worthy light tunnel. Jenner gushed over the party on Larsa Pippen’s Instagram Story.
Not only was this Khloé's first year rocking a baby bump, but Christina Aguilera attended and Toni Braxton performed Christmas favorites with Babyface.
Kim and Hilton reunited for the first time in years with the Simple Life star writing on Instagram, “Lovely evening celebrating the holidays with @KimKardashian.”
