Meet baby Blue Ivy Carter!
About 24 hours before the baby’s big HBO debut, a still from the 10-second interaction was leaked on the social networking site Twitter and instantly became a top retweet.
In the shot (pictured above), Beyonce proudly holds adorable 13 month old baby Blue, who is clad in a white crochet sundress. Beyoncé, her hair in braids, smiles from ear to ear as she glances at her pride and joy.
The “Halo” singer hits cable this weekend with a documentary on HBO entitled, “Life Is But a Dream.” In it, Bey reveals her pregnant belly to squash those persistent rumors she faked her pregnancy and had a surrogate carry her daughter.

In one scene, before she announced she was expecting at the 2011 VMAs, Beyoncé tells the camera,
“So this is my belly and I’m 20 weeks … if you can see that I’m pregnant I’m just going to have to own it! My baby may be debuting itself on the awards.”
Prior to her HBO Documentary airing, Queen B also hits Oprah’s OWN network with an appearance on “Oprah’s Next Chapter.”

In another Beyoncé revelation, the singer reveals in her Oprah Next Chapter interview that while pregnant with Blue she packed on a good 57 pounds … which she then had to quickly lose for a big four-night concert weekend last May in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

In her Oprah interview, the 31-year-old singer also revealed she wouldn’t be able to do it all without her husband, rapper Jay-Z.
“I would not be the woman I am if I did not go home to that man,” she said.
Bey said the rapper has helped her “on so many levels.”
“You know we were friends first for a year and a half before we went on any date on the phone for a year and a half,” she said. “And that foundation is so important in a relationship. And just to have someone that you just like is so important and someone that is honest.”
Beyonce gave birth to her first child, daughter Blue Ivy, in January 2012. She told Winfrey that Blue Ivy’s favorite nursery rhyme is ”Row, Row, Row Your Boat.” But the “Love On Top” singer said her daughter has not taken away her passion for performing.
“I feel like I did a show three months after I gave birth which was really crazy. I had clearly never given birth and didn’t know that I would gain 60 pounds,” she said, before clarifying that she gained a total of 57 pounds.
“But I really wanted to know. I feel so fortunate to do my job. I love my job. I love singing. I love the way it feels.”
Beyonce’s interview with Winfrey will air Saturday, February 16, at 8/7c on OWN, just before her HBO documentary “Life Is but a Dream” airs at 9 p.m. ET

That baby looks like Beyonce all day, every day!!!
I will be watching…she is so cute!
Hi Baby Blue Ivy Carter…she is adorable and too precious. Look at that curly hair and the look on her face, hehe, she is observing everything!
She’s a blend of both of them, but I hope Beyonce’s genes win out in the end. She’s a beautiful baby.
I’m disappointed in Oprah, allowing her brand to be part of a PR machine.
I have no interest in watching either show.
Byonce’s brand is near perfect (whether you like her or not — and you are free to do so). If you are too miserable and selfish to at least acknowledge this, then you a part of the sick society that keeps the hate alive. If you truly have no interest (and I doubt that you are being honest simply because you don’t have enough "non interest" to ignore this blog), then keep it moving and try spreading goodness and love where you can. We will pray for you.
REALLY?"NEAR perfect"?
It amazes me that whenever someone don’t stan for this chick, they are attacked. I agree with STL 100%, this is another PR stunt, and once again Beyonce is being shoved down our throats. She will sit on the couch and once again say things like "This music changed my life, its my most personal album" and "I really found myself"..typical PR tactics. FYI, her brand hasn’t been close to perfect since she fired her father. Now shes a mother and wife who spends the majority of her time on Instagram trying to stay relevant, while all her musical peers are growing up and out of their younger ways of displaying their talents. Now if you are too simple and selfish to acknowledge that everyone is not impressed by this chick, and that they are entitled to their opinion, you are always welcome to move around, spread that mess you’re talking elsewhere, and love where YOU can. I’m yet praying for you.
Thank you, I will pass on seeing that. I will watch something else that I can learn.
Amen. Like you I am not a Beyonce fan. I give her credit for being a great ENTERTAINER. But, in my opinion (which I am entitled to) she is not a SINGER. Whitney Houston was a singer. Kim Burrell is a singer. Kelly Price is a singer. Monica is a singer. Aretha is a singer. There is a difference between being an entertainer and a singer. For instance..Michael Jackson was probably the greatest entertainer ever BUT Luther Vandross was a TRUE SINGER.
So…Somebody forces you to watch Beyonce interviews,HBO specials or comment about her on blogs? #filesnails
AMEN!!!! I am sick of being attacked by Beyonce stans because I do not worship this chick. She is a great entertainer….that’s all she will ever be to me…not Jesus Christ reincarnated.
That’s when u know people live in a fantasy world.
And thinking somebody is perfect…really.
Great Points! For me Beyonce has no substance and has been promoted over others based on the machine.
I can’t stand how she has stepped over others for her own shine. The ONLY way someone would have no problems in Destiny’s Child was IF they "fell back" and let this SPOILED ALWAYS GETTING OUT OF LIMOS DRUNK BISH shine and I really can’t stand her even though at one point I ACTUALLY did but I took off the BLINDERS!
She sits up and talk about "how women are viewed in society based on what men feel" and yet she always has her nasty tail hanging out.I’m sick of hearing about that drug dealer she married as well…..
Beyonce is the classic narcissist…..
sooooooooo, let me get this straight, and please understand there is not one artist that I will go crazy over, but I do give props when props are due. So you telling me that the only way Bey stays relevant is by taking photos on instagram………LMBOOOOOOOOOOOO, chile the real truth for you all that are so beyond tired of Bey, is you try so hard to put her down and not make her relevant that she has no choice but to stay just what she is…LMBO!!!! No matter what she does, people go talk, and the funny thing is the ones that dislike her the most, is the main ones keeping EVERYTHING she does relevant, which clearly means, she’s doing something right….LMBO.
@TJMS, please grow the fuck up, find you some fucking business, and find new heroes.
You and your insipid mindset are indicative of those dumb asses that shoot up schools and theatres because they can’t stand the fact that people have independent views different from theirs.
In other words…bitch, fuck you.
And all I said (with your sensitive ass) is that this was a PR stunt. I didn’t talk about her hypersexual image, her butt-ugly ass husband, her tranny lookin’ mama or her overrated Superbowl performance. No personal attack whatsoever, and yet you still went ham. Dumb ho, talkin’ bout you’ll pray for me!? Pray for yourself, then pray on deez nuts! Then put’em in your mouth and gargle.
Fuckin stans make my ass ache.
Tell ‘em u muthafuckin feel today, STL!LMAOOOOO!
Brand?….No one needs you to tell them to like or not like who and what they want to like so get over yourself.
What makes you think anyone that don’t care for Beyonce is miserable and selfish?
Society? What do the feelings one have for Beyonce have to do with soceity?
Newsflash: This is NOT Beyonce’s fansite! On BLOGS people give their views,I could understand what you’re saying if someone goes to a FANSITE which is supposed to be for fans talking about old girl but this is a BLOG called SFTA!
Is it really that SERIOUS for you to feel the need to PRAY for anyone that does not care for your precious Beyonce? Wow…More than likely you need to save those prayers for yourself considering that much of her fanbase are gay….
She is a cute little girl but she does not look like Bey. What has everyone confused is her skin color?
I will be watching!
No will not b watch’n, not a fan!!!
Dat baby look like shun carter
Oh so beautiful Beyonce and Jay creation.
Who cares?
What a BEAUTIFUL BABY!!!!
Blue is such a cutie, I wonder what her personality is like! Side Note: Bey, them ROOTS are gettin a bit outta control, might be time to bust out a bottle of L’oreal, since you’re one of their paid spokespersons.
LOL!
super cute baby! She’s a nice mix of both of them
Finally a clear picture of the baby – she’s a cute pretty baby – you can see her daddy and mother in her – daddy eyes – i’ll be watching Beyonce HBO special – Cable is not free or cheap for me
For most people its not, that why I opted out of the money making scheme.
Cutie pie Jay light skin twin wont be watching I have to work but I can watch on damand lata this week luv Bee igorance is bliss
I am soooooo sick of hearing about Beyonce! She is like every other woman that has had a baby. Her baby is cute. It’s a baby! But do we really need a documentary on what you do,your life,your baby,pregnancy etc… It’s too much.
We don’t care. She is just another woman people!
MY SENTIMENTS EXACTLY.
That baby looks so much like Jay-Z.
Beyonce talking about "power isn’t earned you gotta take it." Yeah she stay on a power trip. She ain’t a Queen, merely a performer for her, so where’s the power in that?? Anyway I am not interested in the spin. I will not watch it, but I will be watching some Portlandia or DVDs. Cable t.v. is for suckas.
Other them her eyebrows && skin-tone, that child is ALL Jay Z.
I enjoyed Beyonce’s HBO special tonight. Love her or hate her, she’s a living legend. I have nothing but admiration for all women whom are able to balance challenging (yet rewarding) careers, maintain a healthy marriage and raise a child/children. I’m juggling the same responsibilities and its only by the grace of God that I’m able to sail my ship with such precision. The ending of the special wherein she proclaimed that God lives within here almost brought me to tears. I’m no way a "stan" or a part of her "Bey Hive" however I felt an annointing on her life. Maybe if some of us asked God for guidance & wisdom to live out our fullest potential, we can all some how appreciate (and take notes on) great women such as Beyonce, Michelle O., etc.
I know there will be negative comments to this post…if you decide to leave one, save yourself the task of checking for a reply…because I won’t give you one.
Good thing you won’t be checking for a reply; that way your feelings won’t get hurt.
She’s talented and a great performer, but a legend she is NOT. To put her name in the same sentence as ANY first lady is laughable.
Some women.
What a waste of time Oprah, I was hoping to hear Bey say I’m so like everybody else, when I get up and fix breakfast for my family, my baby loves oatmeal, etc. But instead Oprah knew that she was dealing with an air head, so in order to get through the interview, she matesterfully asked a question and prompted her answer. Who cares about you dropping your father from your management, Just another empty interview. Time to evolve Beyonce.
Yep, "I’ll take multi-millionaire airhead for thousand please Alex!!" I cried several times. Absolutely awesome documentary. Plenty of people don’t fair well public speaking. So I’m not sure what classifies her as an airhead. She is handling her business all the way to the bank, while I’m sitting her praying I hit the lotto to pay off student loans. Id say this chick is by no means a dummy…..
I can conjugate a verb but I can’t pay off my student loan, who the winner or the loser?
Amen. Like you I am not a Beyonce fan. I give her credit for being a great ENTERTAINER and being savy enough to capitalize on her fame all the way to the bank. But, in my opinion (which I am entitled to) she is not a SINGER. Whitney Houston was a singer. Kim Burrell is a singer. Kelly Price is a singer. Monica is a singer. Aretha is a singer. There is a difference between being an entertainer and a singer. For instance..Michael Jackson was probably the greatest entertainer ever BUT Luther Vandross was a TRUE SINGER.
Oprah really drank the kool aid..Riri was a better interview
If you have nothing good to say, SAY NOTHING AT ALL! Let this woman BE GREAT and stop being so damn negative all the time. Ppl saying she’s being shoved down your throats, DON’T LIKE IT DON’T LOOK!! Hell why did you click to read the post? And why did you watch her documentary if you don’t like her??? I LOVE YOU BEYONCE’!!!!
Thank You! People are so dumb…just like you said…if you hate Beyonce soooooooo much, why u checking for her?..why are u on a thread about her? Let’s face it, Beyonce is on her way to becoming the next Michael Jackson (IMO) and she’s doing the necessary things to ensure when she’s dead & gone, the media will not honor her legacy by bringing up dirt from her past like they did Whitney, & MJ and so many others….when Beyonce is gone they’ll talk about her body of work and talent…when people are too honest & too open it almosy always backfires in the media…so I dont blame Bey for not giving everything away.
away.
nd
talent….
So…y’all holding the Beyhive meeting here today?Oh, ok then..let us know y’all are done.
LOL! I think there’s a split personality syndrome happening, if you know what I mean.
Do people just click the article to say they are tired of seeing beyonce. Umm don’t open. Don’t read it. If I don’t care I won’t read simple as that. Ijs
People can talk on whatever the hell they want to, rather it’s a positive or negative opinion. Don’t like it? Tough titty.
Not everybody gotta like this chick. Deal with it. Sometimes people want to say they don’t like something. What’s it to you?
Put your big girl panties on and realize that not everybody’s going to like the same thing you do. Doesn’t make them bad or wrong.
Exactly! They act as if this is her fansite. In my view many of her fans are sad. They try to live vicariously through a woman that cares nothing for them…..
The point is if you are tired of seeing Beyonce and you feel like she is shoved down your throat then why do you go around checking for stuff that has something to do with Beyonce. The people who claim to me tried of her be the first the comment on something that has to do with her. Where the logic in that? If you are tired of Beyonce than why don’t you guys avoid anything that has to do with Beyonce? I get so tired of hearing the same thing from the haters about Beyonce, here’s a piece of advice stop coming to Beyonce articles or watching her shows then you wouldn’t be tired of her. Anyways, like I have always stated Beyonce haters are her biggest fans because they know everything about her, they watch everything hat has to do with her, but yet they can’t stand her- RIGHT????
We came to comment on this post because we are FANS OF THE SITE..which means you will most likely see us running our mouths in every damn post-you mad?
Thank you, Suthern. Somebody’s a hater because they don’t agree, or…God forbid it…has better taste or higher standards. Ain’t nobody got time for that! I don’t agree with that old ass man hitting that toddler. Should I need read about that and comment on it? GTFOHWTBS!!!
I have likes and dislikes and I speak on them both. You know how I feel, so how ’bout next time there’s a beYAWNce thread and you see MY name, how ’bout YOU skim MY posts, m’kay?
hater.
Should I ‘not’ read. And no, I didn’t watch the Oprah publicity stunt NOR did I watch her HBO special. Guess I’m not a fan in denial after all, huh?
Blue looks like both parents! Beyonce’s special would be viewed by more people if it wasn’t on cable.
Lucky for everyone it was not on cable…..I fell asleep 3 times before I couldn’t take it any more
For all you women that didn’t watch, just so you know it’s cool cause her ratings went through the roof. and she made hella money with it. The real question is, all you hoes hatin on her, WHAT YO BANK ACCOUNT LOOKIN LIKE? WHAT YOU DOIN IN LIFE THATS WORTH A DAM. DO YOU EVEN HAVE A HUSBAND, LET ALONE A MAN TO CALL YOUR OWN? OR ARE YOU STUCK WITH KIDS AND NO BABYDADDY. POINT BEING, BEY DOIN HER THING, AND IF SHE WASN’T A GREAT SINGER, THEN WHY SHE SO SUCCESSFUL AT BEING A UMMMM SINGER. YOU BITCHES KILL ME WITH THE HATE MAN. SHE AINT PERFECT, BUT SHE GOT MORE GOIN ON IN LIFE THAN ALL YOU HOES PUT TOGETHER. FUCK HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT ME, CAUSE IT DNT MATTER TO ME. TALKIN SHIT DNT BOTHER ME, IM MARRIED TO A WONDERFUL WOMAN AND ALL OUR AFFAIRS ARE IN ORDER, MONEY ON POINT TOO. OAN: IF YOU DO HAVE A MAN, IM SURE HE’LL LEAVE ANY OF YOU HATERS FOR THE WOMAN YALL HATING ON(BEYONCE). JUST SAYIN
So we’re hoes and bitches, huh? Broke,baby mamas, jealous and hating? Guess we know what kind of women you have in your family.
Stan. Take an anger management class! LMAO. Don’t you have a prom to start getting ready for? Grow your remedial ass up and toughen up your skin. You can’t possibly be an adult typing this bullshit. And if you’re married, stop wearing your wife’s panties and buy your own, girlieboy. You know your girl’s song put a ring on it? How ’bout you put a sock in it.
And she’s successful for the same reason rihanna and nikki minaj is…people have lowered their standards, and this new generation is borderline retarted.
Wait…did he say he was married? Gay love is a beautiful thing because surely this is not a grown ass straight man stanning for Bey like this here. I understand being a fan and all but getting on a gossip blog and calling everyone who is not a fan out there name is another level. I guess in his fantasy world Bey will decide to care what her fans feel about her. My statement confuses you? Bey does not give two shits what her fans think: case and point….when her fans were asking to see pics of Aqua Blue, the most you got was a grainy pic snapped by the paparazzi…which usually was a pic of that child’s feet. When the backlash started to come about whether she carried Turquoise or not….viola…we a have snooze fest of a documentary which was more or less a behind the scenes look of her concerts. Nothing revealed that we did not already know, and a close up of her belly after a steak dinner?? Really? I said it once and will say it again, she is a performer, but people, y’all know what the Bible says about worshipping false idols.
Wow..Do you kiss your mom with that mouth? So, because I am not a B fan I am all of those deragatory adjectives you listed above? I am an adult who has a right to like, dislike, or be indifferent to any artist or genre of music I choose. As I stated earlier I can respect her business savy and get ability to capitalize on her popularity but I stand firm on MY opinion that she is a great ENTERTAINER but she isn’t the greatest vocalist. When I think of vocalist I think if Aretha, Whitney, Chaka ect… AND Sir (I use that term lightly) I am entitled to that opinion without having to be subjected to such an ignorant attack. I am assuming you are young and have yet matured to a level where you can agree to disagree without becoming belligerent. I dare say that no one on this site has a bank account that comparable to the Carter’s. But, for the record… I am neither a slut or a hoe. i am an attractive woman who has been married for over 10 years and my hubby hasn’t left me yet. I am educated. I have (2) BA’s, a MA degree, and I’m working on my Ph.D. My husband and I are far from rich but our household income is in the 6 figure bracket which allows us to be comfortable and in a position to help others as needed. If you get this upset about someone’ s opinion about music I would hate to see your reaction abt something that actually MATTERED!
Trice, you better say that shit!! This queen talking about our money…how’s HIS lookin? lol
get a life, BEYONCE has one.
Suck a dick, BEYONCE does.
LMAO, you goofy sluts kill me. Not to mention didn’t you hear me say that wateva yall respond with aint about shit. Im standing up for bey because it kills me how you bitches hate on her, but fucked up in life yourselves. like clearly fucked up. Just broke, hair bogish, coochie stank, caint keep a nigga, and the list goes on. Me however, WHITE, good household, paid, married and happy, good credit, working and only have time to comment when im not busy. Whereas you niggers on here daily cause you aint got shit to do but BLOG. So you come at those you couldn’t even compare to, and its funny cause she still grindin, why yall hurtin and dnt knw wat you gone do day to day for money. We white folks call yall, unemployment check hoes, and child support hoes who prolly dnt knw who yall parents are. LMAO. But go ahead and comment which is exactly wat i want you to do, which worked to perfection last time. 3.2.1 go bitch, COMMENT. Oh and get yo bread right before you hate on a rich woman. Yall not ladies, yall hoes and dopeboy playtoys. haaaa.
Very hard to believe your white….or straight…married…or have good credit. But who knows, I guess behind a computer we can be whatever and whomever we want to be…lol. Btw, I know 3 people on unemployment and all of them are of the alabaster skin tone…go on back to 6th period now, recess is over son.

My retort:
Let’s leave your dumb ass mama out of this. What are you, 13? I have a hard time believing a MAN…a MARRIED man at that…would come to a predominately female site and use such profane verbage against women because they don’t like a damn celebrity. Just because your ass ugly like her husband don’t mean you stand a chance. So this Alice-in-Wonderland wife majors in psychology. So did I…UNTIL I GOT MY DEGREE! (my 1st, that is). Either you are a pimple-faced teen that masturbates to her videos at night or you’re a places-the-lotion-in-the-basket cootchie coveter who hide in the back of gay bars watching your peers dance to Love on Top. CLEARLY we’ve all struck a nerve, for you to come back so often. Now come back with your response girl…can’t wait. It’s fun, actually.
I have mind control over Debo.
Girl, didn’t we all major in psychology at some point? Hell, it was easy and interesting, but then I realized, I don’t want to be a high school guidance counselor and deal with people like our friend JREED on a daily basis. It was quite entertaining though, just watching him spew hate and anger towards all of us "haters." …he puts the lotion on the skin…..lol
…and then he gets the hose again. Bet he likes that part lol.
Ask yo man if he’ll leave you for beyonce, nikki, or rhianna, watch that nigga look off into space or give you a phony answer to spare yo feelings.
Oh and dnt forget, I said all the bitches HATIN on her, STOP BEING SENSATIVE BIIIITCH, LOL. BACK TO MY LIFE NOW
Sensitive*
and I heard hoes only get mad when someone hits a nerve and speaks the truth about them, just sayin. lol, just sayin. See I got a 4bedroom house, a few cars(2), great credit, a job, and my wife is a psych major. I would say im doin aiiight(in yall language), AAAND YOU? SO HOW CAN YOU SAY ANYTHING TO BOTHER ME, IT WAS FUNNY TO READ THO
A few is 3, dumbass. And most crackheads do live in huge houses.
Your point?
SEE, its not about what you believe, its about what I knw the truth is. feel me, goofies
wait wait wait, lol, did dis bitch just say im gay, haaaa, okkkk.
I heard yall whole city gay(ATLANTA), we in chicago dnt ride yall way. Try a different state
Beyonce can’t even read.
For all of you who keep saying Beyonce is not a singer, U could be correct, she is an entertainer just like Tina Turner n my opinion.
I think the days of true singing/balladiers r gone. Young people want a good beat and that’s it. They could care less about singers. It is 2013 and not 1978 or 1993.
