Blue Ivy is Beyoncé is Jay-Z's oldest daughter

With multiple Grammy award wins and Beyoncé's Emmy and Golden Globe nominations, this duo proves that together, they're the king and queen of the music industry. Beyoncé and Jay-Z wed in 2008 and have since had three children together — their daughter, Blue Ivy, and the twins, Rumi and Sir Carter. Their oldest daughter, Blue Ivy, was born in 2012.

"At some point, it's very important to me that my daughter is able to experience life and run through the sprinklers and have slumber parties and trust and live and do all the things that any child should be able to do," Beyoncé said according to the Los Angeles Times. "School visits and lemonade stands and all that stuff. It's very important for me."

Blue Ivy was born on January 7, 2012

As their oldest daughter, Blue Ivy Carter was born on January 7, 2012. Beyoncé and Jay-Z then had their twins on June 13, 2017.

"We would like to share our love and happiness," Beyoncé shared in a viral Instagram post. "We have been blessed two times over. We are incredibly grateful that our family will be growing by two, and we thank you for your well wishes. – The Carters."

Since then, she's stolen the hearts of fans worldwide, making appearances at Beyoncé and Jay-Z's concerts, award shows, Beyoncé's Netflix documentary Homecoming: A Film by Beyoncé, and at the 2020 Super Bowl. (She and Jay-Z throwing a football around before the game caused a top trending moment on Twitter.) Beyoncé even featured Blue Ivy on a song for The Lion King: The Gift.

Beyoncé featured Blue Ivy in a few songs, including 'Brown Skin Girl' on 'The Lion King: The Gift'

First appearing on the song "Blue" from Beyoncé's self-titled album, Blue Ivy is truly a star in the making, singing and speaking on songs for Beyoncé and Beyoncé and Jay-Z's joint album, The Carters. Blue Ivy even gave her siblings a shoutout on "Boss." The first time she officially sang was on the song "Brown Skin Girl."

Blue Ivy even has songwriting credits for "Brown Skin Girl," a song off of The Lion King: The Gift, Beyoncé's album inspired by Disney's live-action adaptation of The Lion King. The song currently holds over 44 million plays on Spotify, making it one of the most popular songs on the album and one of Blue Ivy's most popular songs.

But the recognition doesn't stop there. Too Fab reports that, at only 8-years-old, Blue Ivy Carter earned the NAACP Image Award for the song "Brown Skin Girl." As her grandmother, Tina Knowles-Lawson pointed out, that makes her the youngest artist to earn the award from this organization.

Music by Beyoncé and Blue Ivy, including "Brown Skin Girl," is available on Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, and most major streaming platforms.

Harmonie, 14, is a foster child who dreams of a mom, a dad and a dog or cat - WXYZ

DETROIT (WXYZ) — Playing a little Beyoncé music and dancing up a storm would not be out of the ordinary for 14-year-old Harmonie. She would love it if her future mom and dad would like to hang out with her, too.

She's been eligible for adoption since December 2017.

When asked how her friends would describe her, she replied softly, "My friends would say, 'She's nice, she's pretty.'"

"I'm really fun. I like to dance and sing," she added.

Her favorite artist is Beyoncé. She also likes rap music.

Of course, like many teens girls, she's into getting made up.

"I like mascara, blush. I like to wear any type of makeup," she explained.

But she's really looking forward to playing and watching movies together with adoptive parents.

"I'd like to go shopping or play with the kids if they have any, talk. Get to know about each other," she said.

"I want a dog or a cat. I don't care. I love animals," she said dreaming about her future home.

What the grandkids of Kris Jenner, Jane Fonda call their grandmothers - Insider - INSIDER

A number of celebrities have said nothing compares to being a grandparent.
Before assuming the role, many famous grandmothers put a considerable amount of effort into picking a nickname for their grandchildren to call them.
Some famous grandmothers have embraced the traditional term, "grandma." But others, like Kris Jenner— who goes by "lovey" — got more creative.
Visit Insider's homepage for more stories.

Kris Jenner, Jane Fonda, Goldie Hawn, and other celebrities quickly — and excitedly — settled into becoming grandparents. But first, each one mulled over the nickname they wanted their grandchildren to call them.

Beyonce and Jay-Z's children call their grandmother, Tina Knowles, the traditional term — "grandma." Other celebrities got more creative.

Kris Jenner's grandchildren call her "lovey." Goldie Hawn said the term "grandma" made her feel old, so she decided to go by "glam-ma." Gwyneth Paltrow's children, Apple and Moses, refer to their grandmother — Blythe Danner — by "lalo."

No matter the nickname, all famous grandmothers would likely agree that there's nothing like being a grandparent.

"It's the best," Sharon Osbourne said in a 2012 interview on "Anderson Live."
