It seems like only a few months ago that Beyoncé released the pregnancy photo of the century (opens in new tab) to announce her twin pregnancy with Jay Z. The twins, Rumi and Sir Carter, turned a full four years old on Sunday, and the Queen shared an adorable post on her website to celebrate it. " Better than one present . . two," she wrote. 'Happy birthday, Rumi & Sir...

Beyoncé spoke candidly about motherhood in a 2019 cover interview for Elle (opens in new tab), opening up about navigating her career alongside her family life with Blue Ivy, Lumi, Sir, and husband Jay-Z. 'I think the most stressful thing for me is trying to balance work and life,' she said. I have to get Blue Ivy off to school, take Rumi and Sir to activities, make time for date nights with my husband, and be home in time for dinner with my family. It can be stressful to juggle all of these roles, but I think that's life for a working mother."

Beyoncé said that a pregnancy miscarriage she experienced prior to welcoming Blue Ivy changed her perspective on success, explaining, "I was so happy to have Blue. She continued, "And then I had Blue, and my search for my purpose became so much deeper. I died and was reborn in a relationship, and my search for self became even stronger. It is hard to go backwards. Being "number one" is no longer a priority. My true triumph is my art and creating a legacy that lives far beyond me."

Another great moment in the interview was when he asked, "With all the hats you wear (Chairwoman, Global Entertainer) and all the titles we give you (Queen, Yonce), which one brings you the greatest joy?" The question was. Beyonce replied, "Being a mom to Blue, Lumi, and Sir."
