  1. How Many Children Does Beyonce Have?

    Beyoncé and husband Jay-Z have three children - two daughters and a son.

    • Blue Ivy Carter
    • Twins Rumi and Sir Carter

    Blue, Rumi and Sir tend to stay out of the spotlight, however oldest child Blue has joined mother Beyoncé on stage during her most recent tour on multiple occasions!

    Beyoncé's child Rumi, 6, has broken the record for the youngest female on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for her appearance on the song 'Protector' from COWBOY CARTER.

    She beats the previous record holder, her sister Blue Ivy, who became the youngest in 2019 for 'Brown Skin Girl' at the age of seven.

  2. What are Beyonce & Jay-Z's children's names?

    Beyonce's three children are called Blue Ivy, Rumi and Sir, but less is known about the meaning behind the names.

    'Blue' is perhaps a reference to Jay-Z's 'Blueprint' albums, and Ivy is possibly a riff of the number four (IV is the number four in roman numerals).

    Jay-Z revealed the meaning of Rumi, and said that their favourite poet is called Rumi (Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi).

    Meanwhile, Jay-Z said that "Sir was like, man, come out the gate. He carries himself like that. He just came out, like, Sir."
