Beyoncé’s mother Tina Knowles has opened up about the sweet way the pop superstar makes sure to prioritize her children.
While the hitmaker is known for being busy making music, touring the globe or launching her business products, her mom noted that it brings her joy to see the way Beyoncé works to ensure she puts her kids Blue, 13, and seven-year old twins Sir and Rumi above all else.
Speaking to E! News at Billboard’s Women in Music Awards, the 71-year-old gushed: ‘They are always her first priority no matter what else is going on.’
The former clothing designer — who shares daughters Beyoncé, 43, and Solange Knowles, 38, with ex Mathew Knowles — was honored on the night with the inaugural Mother of the Year award for her own contributions to raising two influential music stars.
Opening up about the importance of shining a light on the lifelong role, she noted: ‘Mothers take on the role of being behind the scenes and doing what they can to support. It’s nice to be recognized for that.’
She continued: ‘It never ends, which is the best part. I’m still a mom. I’m 71 years old, and my kids are grown, but they still call me first and it’s the best feeling in the world.’

During a rare candid chat about motherhood in 2024, Beyoncé admitted to GQ Magazine that she manages her schedule around her children so she is always with them.
‘My kids come with me everywhere I go. They come to my office after school, and they are in the studio with me,’ she explained. ‘They are in dance rehearsals. It’s natural that they would learn my choreography.’
She also emphasizes her desire to keep their lives as normal as it could be considering their global fame.
The singer explained: ‘One thing I’ve worked extremely hard on is making sure my kids can have as much normalcy and privacy as possible, ensuring my personal life isn’t turned into a brand. It’s very easy for celebrities to turn our lives into performance art.
‘I have made an extreme effort to stay true to my boundaries and protect myself and my family. No amount of money is worth my peace.’
Though Blue Ivy has been in the limelight ever since her birth in 2012, Beyoncé and Jay Z have notable been more reluctant to share as much about their twins with the world.
To date, fans have only been given brief looks at the twins together in Beyoncé’s documentaries, Homecoming and Making The Gift.
Meanwhile, they have made blink-and-you-miss-it appearances in some of their mother’s advertising campaigns for her clothing brand, Ivy Park.

The most recent images and clips of Sir seen by the public appeared in his mother’s tour movie, Renaissance.
In recent years, Beyoncé’s parents have been the ones to share insight into the twins’ upbringing and personality.
In 2020, Mathew gushed about his grandkids and said: ‘Blue Ivy is just so incredible and reminds me of Beyoncé so much.
‘Sir, he just wants his world to himself. [His twin sister], Rumi, reminds me of [my daughter] Solange [Knowles].’
Meanwhile, in 2019, Tina explained: ‘The girl is really just going to rule the world, and the boy is kind of laid back and chills like the dad. [Blue] is the Queen B. The second Queen B.’
In another chat with E! News, Tina stated: ‘Sir is very quiet. He does all of the numbers stuff, so he’s not into fashion as much.’
She also revealed that he is ‘very, very smart’ while Rumi ‘is amazing — an amazing artist, painter, and creator. How could they be anything else, growing up in that environment? All we talk about is creativity and fashion.’
Jay-Z himself gave similar insight into the personalities of his children to Elliott Wilson and Brian Miller on the Rap Radar podcast in 2017.

‘Rumi is our favorite poet, so it was for our daughter. Sir was like, man, came out the gate,’ he boasted. ‘He carries himself like that. He just came out, like, Sir.’
Meanwhile, in an interview with British Vogue in 2020, Beyoncé one of the ways in which she takes care of her young brood.
The star revealed that she has two beehives in her home with around 80,000 bees in order to make honey for its healing qualities.
‘I started the beehives because my daughters, Blue and Rumi, both have terrible allergies, and honey has countless healing properties,’ she explained.
