Beyonce Turns London Show Into A Family Affair, Celebrates Twins' Birthday
Last Updated:
Beyonce was performing for her fourth Cowboy Carter tour show when she sought help from the crowd to extend her heartfelt birthday wishes to Rumi and Sir.
Beyonce, a doting mother to three kids, knows how to make them feel special. The actress' gesture as she stopped her show in London to call upon her fans to wish her twins on their 8th birthday is winning hearts. The 35-time Grammy winner was performing for her fourth Cowboy Carter tour show when she sought help from the crowd to extend her heartfelt birthday wishes to Rumi and Sir whom she welcomed in 2017.
While on stage, Beyoncé said, 'Everybody say happy birthday, Rumi." The light-hearted moment also saw the twins' big sister Blue Ivy Carter, standing beside them smiling. A standout moment also captured Ivy affectionately grabbing her little sister's chin. As the crowd continued to scream excitedly, Beyoncé added, 'Say happy birthday, Sir! Mommy loves you."
Seemingly shy and smiling, Rumi cutely leaned towards her mother's waist and the latter also showcased her love, adorably embracing her.
Beyonce and her husband Jay-Z (real name Shawn Carter) share three kids – Blue Ivy, Rumi and Sir. The couple got married to each other in 2008 after dating for a few years. In 2012, they embraced parenthood for the first time and welcomed their eldest child. Their family expanded after the arrival of Rumi and Sir in 2017.
In an earlier interview with Rap Radar, Jay-Z explained the inspiration behind the names of their kids. He said, 'Rumi is our favourite poet, so it was for our daughter." Talking about son, he added, 'Sir was like, man, come out the gate. He carries himself like that. He just came out, like, Sir."
Beyonce's mother, Tina Knowles, also opened up on the couple's kids in a previous chat with E! News during her appearance at the Kentucky Derby in May 2024. She shared, 'Rumi is amazing — an amazing artist, painter and creator," and added, 'How could they be anything else growing up in that environment? All we talk about is creativity and fashion."
According to Tina, Sir is quiet and 'does all of the numbers stuff, so he's not into fashion as much."
It needs to be noted that Beyonce's girls have been accompanying her on the Cowboy Carter tour. The tradition began with Blue Ivy when she joined her mother during her Renaissance World Tour. Sir, on the other hand, stays out of the spotlight.
