Tina Knowles shares rare photo with granddaughter Blue Ivy for 11th birthday
Tina Knowles celebrated Blue Ivy’s 11th birthday with a rare Instagram photo Sunday.
In the social media post, the preteen daughter of Beyoncé and Jay-Z smiled on a beach beside her grandmother. Blue paired a white top and matching pants with a black blazer and sunglasses.
While the little one wore white sneakers, Knowles, 69, posed barefoot in a polka-dot jumpsuit.
“The day that you were born was one of the best days of my life,” the fashion designer captioned the sweet snap, calling Blue a “very special … queen.”
She continued, “You can sing dance, play basketball, play, volleyball, paint, draw, sculpt, sew, write poetry, write songs, create, act , play the piano ! I could go on and on. Because there’s really nothing that you can’t do.”
Knowles went on to call the youngest-ever Grammy winner “funny and beautiful and graceful, kind and so smart.”
The businesswoman concluded, “I could not ask for a better granddaughter Ms. Blue Ivy Carter! I could not be more blessed , grateful, and completely in love with another human. You truly bring me joy!!”
Knowles has three more grandchildren, with Solange Knowles welcoming son Daniel, now 18, in 2004.
Beyoncé, 41, gave birth to twins Sir and Rumi, now 5, in 2017.
While the former Destiny’s Child member keeps her kids’ lives private, she has featured Blue in many projects over the years.
In 2021, the then-9-year-old modeled for Ivy Park, Beyoncé’s clothing line.
Blue also appeared in her mom’s “Brown Skin Girl” song in 2020, as well as her dad’s “Glory” single.
Beyoncé gushed about how “honored” she is to be Blue, Sir and Rumi’s mom in her 2021 Grammys acceptance speech.
“You’re my babies,” she said at the time, “and I’m so proud of y’all.”
