Beyoncé’s Mother Revealed Why Sir Carter Is Rarely Seen in Public: He’s ‘Very Quiet’
Beyoncé Knowles-Carter and Jay-Z, real name Shawn Corey Carter, have longstanding music careers, with Beyoncé winning Album of the Year at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards. Fans of the couple love to see how their three children might capture their star power. Their oldest child, Blue Ivy Carter, is already making a name for herself in the entertainment business. However, Sir Carter’s future might look different. Here’s what Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles, said about Sir being “very quiet.”
Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles, commented on how Sir Carter differs from his siblings
Fans of Beyoncé and Jay-Z anticipate seeing their children in the limelight. The couple has three kids: Blue Ivy Carter, 13, and twins Rumi and Sir Carter, 7. Beyoncé and Jay-Z brought Blue Ivy and Rumi to Super Bowl LIX, which delighted the crowd to see how the siblings looked alike. However, Sir was notably missing.
In May 2024, Tina Knowles gave insight into the twins’ differences. “Rumi is amazing — an amazing artist, painter, and creator,” Knowles told E! News. “How could they be anything else growing up in that environment? All we talk about is creativity and fashion.”
As for Sir, she noted that he’s “very, very smart,” though not nearly as into fashion as his sisters. Knowles explained that he “does all of the numbers stuff” and is “very quiet.”
In another interview with E! News, Knowles noted, “Sir is more into books and electronics” than his siblings. However, she called all of the kids “artists.”
In interviews, Knowles often notes how Rumi and Blue Ivy seem to want the spotlight more than Sir. “Rumi is a natural little star,” she told E! News in August 2024. As for Blue Ivy, she said her granddaughter has “an artistic soul.”
Beyoncé certainly knows her younger daughter is meant for show business like Blue Ivy. She featured Rumi on the song “Protector” from her award-winning Cowboy Carter album.
Beyoncé says she believes Rumi and Sir Carter are ‘God-sent’
Beyoncé spoke to GQ about navigating the world as an ultra-famous musician and a mother. While she wants to give her children incredible opportunities, she also hopes to ensure they have “normalcy and privacy” as they grow up.
“One thing I’ve worked extremely hard on is making sure my kids can have as much normalcy and privacy as possible, ensuring my personal life isn’t turned into a brand,” she told the publication. “It’s very easy for celebrities to turn our lives into performance art. I have made an extreme effort to stay true to my boundaries and protect myself and my family. No amount of money is worth my peace.”
Beyoncé continued to talk about how she believes Rumi and Sir Carter are “God-sent.”
“Raising three kids isn’t easy,” she continued. “The older they get, the more they become their own individuals with unique needs, hobbies, and social lives. My twins are God-sent. Parenting constantly teaches you about yourself. It takes a lot of prayer and patience. I love it. It’s grounding and fulfilling.”
The ‘Cowboy Carter’ singer’s difficult pregnancy with the twins
Beyoncé spoke of her difficult pregnancy with twins Rumi and Sir Carter. In her Netflix documentary, Homecoming, she shared how her “unexpected” pregnancy resulted in multiple health issues.
“I was 218 pounds the day I gave birth,” she said. “I had high blood pressure; I developed toxemia, preeclampsia, and in the womb, one of my babies’ heartbeats paused a few times, so I had to get an emergency C-section.”
Beyoncé gave additional details of her C-section experience to Vogue in 2018. “Today, I have a connection to any parent who has been through such an experience,” she continued. “After the C-section, my core felt different. It had been major surgery. Some of your organs are shifted temporarily and, in rare cases, removed temporarily during delivery. I am not sure everyone understands that. I needed time to heal, to recover.”
