You witnessed a powerful and emotional moment during Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter Tour stop in London on June 12. As the global icon took the stage for her fourth night in the city, she paused the concert to shine a spotlight on a deeply personal celebration—her twins’ birthday. With over 35 Grammys under her belt, she still makes space to center her children during life’s most meaningful moments. That night, the crowd didn’t just attend a performance. They became part of a mother’s heartfelt tribute to her children, a public gesture full of love and vulnerability.
Fans Join Beyoncé in Honoring Rumi and Sir on Their Special Day
The atmosphere shifted when Beyoncé asked the crowd to join her in a birthday cheer for her twins. “Everybody say happy birthday, Rumi,” she called out, her voice warm and strong. Fans instantly responded with roaring applause and cheers. Blue Ivy, Beyoncé’s 13-year-old daughter, stood nearby smiling. She gently grabbed Rumi’s chin in a touching moment of sisterly love. Beyoncé then added, “Say happy birthday, Sir! Mommy loves you.” Rumi, overcome by the moment, shyly buried her face in her mother’s waist as Beyoncé wrapped her in a loving embrace. The crowd cheered again, while the moment was broadcast across the jumbotron for all to see.
The Carter Kids Continue a Tour Tradition Started by Blue Ivy
You may remember how Blue Ivy made waves last year when she joined her mom on the Renaissance World Tour, confidently performing choreographed routines. That legacy continues as Beyoncé’s younger children begin to step into the spotlight. Although Sir usually avoids media attention, he was featured in a rare home video shown during the opening night of the Cowboy Carter Tour at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. The nearly three-hour show included footage of her children that highlighted their presence and Beyoncé’s devotion to them. It was another way for her to connect with fans by sharing authentic parts of her personal life.
Rumi’s Musical Debut on “Protector” Adds a Personal Touch
Rumi is already beginning to leave her mark on music. If you’ve listened closely to the Cowboy Carter album, you’ve probably heard her voice. At the beginning of the song “Protector,” Rumi quietly says, “Mom, can I hear the lullaby please?” It’s a moment that symbolizes more than a musical cameo. It marks the passing down of creative spirit and storytelling from one generation to the next. Beyoncé continues to honor her children’s presence in both her life and her work, allowing fans to witness their influence in intimate and inspiring ways.
A Glimpse Into the Carter Family’s Private World
Beyoncé and Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, began dating in the early 2000s and married in 2008. Their first daughter, Blue Ivy, arrived in 2012, followed by twins Rumi and Sir in 2017. When the twins were born, Jay-Z explained their names’ significance. “Rumi is our favorite poet,” he said. As for Sir, he added, “Sir was like, man, come out the gate. He carries himself like that. He just came out, like, Sir.” Their names reflect not just style but intention and identity, something the Carters have always fiercely protected.
Tina Knowles Shares Her Grandchildren’s Unique Personalities

During the Kentucky Derby in May 2024, she described Rumi as “an amazing artist, painter and creator.” Tina emphasized how creativity is woven into the family’s daily life, making artistic expression a natural path. When speaking about Sir, she said he’s “very quiet” and more interested in numbers than fashion. Tina highlighted how each child is growing into their individuality while being surrounded by constant encouragement and creative influence.
