Beyonce's Sister Solange Knowles Calls Blue Ivy 'Angelic'

Beyonce gave birth to her first child Blue Ivy Carter in February and her younger sister and now aunty Solange Knowles can’t stop gushing about baby Blue.

During an event in New York City recently Solange beamed as she described Blue Ivy to Hollywood Life, “I mean she’s such an angelic beautiful baby girl. I was there literally when she was born!”

Beyonce’s fans have noted a change in her behavior since giving birth. She appears more down to earth and more open about her superstar life. Solange believes giving birth to Blue Ivy helped in that process. “I’ve heard her over the years talk about how impactful that was in her life, (Solange giving birth to Julez)” she said. “And then I totally understood that it is such a surreal amazing moment and it really, really puts life into perspective.”

Now that the sisters are both moms Solange is ready for payback when Aunty Beyonce spoiled her now 7-year old son rotten. She said earlier this year,

“The closer my sister came to motherhood, the more stern she was with my son, Julez, but when he was between the ages of 1 and 4, she put the s in spoiling. I had to deal with the cool aunt for seven years, and I’m ready for payback! Late nights, candy binges—I’m doing it all!”

How sweet!

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
