Beyoncé is a doting mum to Blue Ivy, Rumi and Sir

Beyoncé is notoriously private when it comes to her family life, but has delighted fans by sharing a number of photos of herself and Jay-Z with their three children, which have been taken over the past year. In a 2019 round-up posted on New Year's Eve, the Lemonade singer included some sweet images of daughter Blue Ivy and twins Rumi and Sir – who have rarely been pictured in public since their arrival in 2017. Among the pictures was a family shot, which saw Beyoncé wear a white gown and statement glasses as Rumi sat on her lap, dressed in a miniature version of her mum's outfit. Jay-Z, meanwhile, was dressed in a tuxedo as Sir sat on his lap wearing a matching outfit. Blue Ivy posed in the middle of her parents wearing a pretty white dress. Other pictures from the year included snapshots from the twin's second birthday party, and one taken from a family holiday, with Beyoncé and her three children posing in matching swimwear.

It's not many films that the parents can come and feel the way I feel about The Lion King, and feel that and pass that legacy onto their kids." She also opened up about her surprise at finding out she was expecting twins in her documentary in April, which reflected on her headlining Coachella. The Formation singer said: "I was supposed to do Coachella the year prior, but I got pregnant unexpectedly. And it ended up being twins which was even more of a surprise to me."
