Every second that you spend, you’re spending away from the development of these people that you brought here, that you love more than anything in the world. So what are you going to spend that time on? That changed practically everything for me.”

Beyoncé has also said that her priority is making sure her kids have “as much normalcy and privacyas possible,” especially as they get older.

She was seen in an oversized black T-shirt, standing with her father. Later that month,Blue Ivy took the stage with her mom in Paris.

Beyoncé said that Blue did “such a beautiful job” as Kiara, adding, “I’m just proud of you. I’m so proud of you and I can’t believe how big and grown up you are. And I’m proud that she’s gonna represent so many young brown girls around the world. Nobody’s prouder than Mommy.”

Rumi and Sir, 7

Exactly one month after their birth, the couple made theirfirst public appearancetogether since becoming parents to three. That same day, Beyoncé also revealed the names and the first photo of the twins.

“Rumi is our favorite poet, so it was for our daughter,” Jay-Z explained in August 2017. “Sir was like, man, come out the gate. He carries himself like that. He just came out, like, Sir.”

In August 2021, the twinsappeared in an adfor Beyoncé’s IVY PARK x Adidas clothing line for kids. The singer shared that the inspiration for the children’s line stemmed from wanting to match with her three kids.

“On our family vacations, we love to coordinate our outfits. My kids are usually on set with me for shoots, and we’d find ourselves putting them in extra-extra-smalls so we could match. So it is a natural progression for IVY PARK to introduce a selection of key silhouettes in children’s sizing,” she toldHarper’s Bazaar.

According to their grandma Tina, all three of Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s children are already developing a strong sense of style, and even contributed to their mom’s design line.

“Well,they are little fashionistas, and they have definite determination about what they like and what they don’t like. When Beyoncé’s doing the first samples, they get them, and some things they love, and some things you can tell are not their favorite,” she told PEOPLE.

Tina also shared that on a trip to Disneyland, then-5-year-old Rumi defended her outfit choice when her older sister offered her opinion on it.

“We recently went to Disneyland, and she put on her Mickey Mouse shorts. Then she wanted to put on a sparkly printed top, which had the same colors. It actually looked really cute,” she explained. “But her sister came in and Blue was like, ‘My mom would be mad because she’s doing too much.’ And Rumi said, ‘This is my style.’ She’s 5. I was impressed.”
