Tina Knowles and Beyoncé are considerably close, as Tina Knowles even hung out with the Obamas at one of her concerts. Still, one video posted to Instagram begs the question: is Beyoncé’s mom with them during this coronavirus (COVID-19) quarantine? Here’s what we know about the diva behind Beyoncé and Blue Ivy Carter.

Tina Knowles posted the video of Blue Ivy Carter’s hand-washing lesson

For a closer look into Beyoncé’s elusive life, some fans turn to her mother, Tina Knowles, who sometimes posts videos and pictures of the artist. She also posts videos of Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s eldest daughter, Blue Ivy Carter. 

Most notably, Beyoncé’s mother posted a video of Blue Ivy Carter teaching a science lesson. In it, Blue Ivy explained that a plate of pepper and water represented a surface with the coronavirus. She dipped her finger and soap and then into the pepper mixture, only to see the pepper move away from the soap. 

“My brilliant granddaughter Blue did this experiment to show how washing your hands fights the virus,” she wrote as the caption. Of course, the video went viral on social media, with some fans wondering if Tina Knowles is quarantining with the Carter family.

Tina Knowles is not with the Carters during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic

Although Tina Knowles is close with both Solange and Beyoncé, she does have her own home, even working on projects for non-profit organizations. Presumably, Tina Knowles is following social distancing guidelines, staying at home and quarantining away from the Carter family and their home.

According to her social media, though, she’s missing her grandchildren — including Blue Ivy and the twins, Sir and Rumi Carter. She recently posted a video compilation of Blue Ivy on Instagram, captioning it, “I miss my grandchildren so much and Blue is growing up so fast. She will probably be as tall as me when I see her again. God she has the most angelic voice what happened to the time.”

Tina Knowles shares her love for her family on social media

Based on her Instagram account, Tina Knowles is social distancing at her own home, often posting her corny jokes to social media. That doesn’t mean she’s not keeping up with her grandkids and family. She recently posted a video of her grandson, Titan, saying his nightly prayer. 

Beyoncé and Blue Ivy Carter at both at home, too. Beyoncé even did a few television cameos for the Disney Singalong and Global Citizen’s One World: Together at Home, thanking essential workers and sharing her love with fans. 

“Please hold onto your families tight. Be safe, don’t give up. We’re going to get through this, I promise. God bless you,” Beyoncé said during the Disney Singalong, after performing “When You Wish Upon a Star.”

Fans can find more updates (and corny jokes) from Tina Knowles on her Instagram account. Music by Beyoncé and Blue Ivy, including “Brown Skin Girl,” is available on Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, and most major streaming platforms.
