In January 2012, Jay-Z and Beyoncé Knowles gave birth to their first child, Blue Ivy Carter. The Hollywood couple, married since 2008, also subsequently gave birth to twins, born in June 2017, and named Sir Carter and Rumi Carter. A very complicated second pregnancy for the American diva, who had to face numerous health problems, including pregnancy toxemia, which causes high blood pressure in pregnant women which could have serious consequences on the unborn child.
This Friday, October 27, 2023, Jay-Z and Beyoncé gave a long exclusive interview to CBS Mornings, in which they looked back on their marriage, and their blissful family life. In this interview, the two parents, showered with love by their tribe, reveal that their eldest Blue Ivy was in no way originally supposed to be called that, but they finally changed their minds at the last minute… origin, the young teenager, who returned to college a few months ago, and who will soon celebrate her 12th birthday, must have had the same first name as one of David and Victoria Beckham’s children since her parents had in mind to name her Brooklynlike the eldest of the Beckham tribe, who will celebrate his 25th birthday next spring.
“It was supposed to be Brooklyn. That was the name we had in theory. But when we were faced with the little ultrasounds, she was so small that we nicknamed her Blueberry. That was his nickname for nine months.” the billionaire rapper explained. Finally, at the time of childbirth, this nickname became a first name, and caused Brooklyn to fade into the background: “It was natural. A no-brainer. We just took out the Berry and just called it Blue” continued the Crazy In Love singer.
“She was born into a life she didn’t ask for.”
A few weeks ago, Blue Ivy made her mother happy by going on stage next to him, and sharing with her a few dance steps on the occasion of the Renaissance world tour undertaken by the diva. An experience that the mother is not ready to forget, and which delighted Jay-Z: “I still get goosebumps watching her go on stage. Blue was born into this world. She was born into a life she didn’t ask for. Since birth, she has been under surveillance, and everyone has an opinion. On her life as a little girl, on her hair… Going on stage, taking power over a song called My Powerwe couldn’t have written a better scenario.” parents congratulate themselves.
