6 Times Beyoncé Perfectly Summed Up The Beauty Of Motherhood
Striking a balance between public and private is always a conundrum when you live your life predominantly in the limelight. But, since becoming parents to Blue Ivy, eight, and three-year-old twins Sir and Rumi, Beyoncé and Jay-Z have managed to shield their growing brood from prying eyes for the most part.
Peppered throughout rare interviews, Bey has shared some intimate details about the beauty of motherhood, and the trials and tribulations that come with parenting. Not to mention, since welcoming all three children into the world, the Lemonade singer has consistently challenged and changed the narrative on women’s pregnant and postpartum bodies.
“Something cracked open inside of me right after giving birth to my first daughter,” British Vogue’s December 2020 cover star reveals. “From that point on, I truly understood my power, and motherhood has been my biggest inspiration. It became my mission to make sure she [Blue Ivy] lived in a world where she feels truly seen and valued. I was also deeply inspired by my trip to South Africa with my family.”
Earlier this year, Bey dedicated her sensational visual album, Black Is King, to her son. In the cover interview, she continues: “And, after having my son, Sir Carter, I felt it was important to uplift and praise our boys and to assure that they grow up with enough films, children’s books and music that promote emotional intelligence, self-value and our rich history. That’s why the film is dedicated to him.”
From giving birth to being present in her children’s lives, we look back on Beyoncé’s most touching quotes about teaching, inspiring and raising her three children.
