Rumi Carter, the daughter of Beyoncé and Jay-Z, is an American singer-songwriter and actor. Along with her twin brother Sir, she has an older sister named Blue Ivy Carter. Beyoncé, a 23-time Grammy winner, has documented her entire pregnancy journey in the Netflix series ‘Homecoming’ which is based on her life.
Childhood
On June 13, 2017, at 5:13 am, Rumi Carter and her twin brother Sir were born at the ‘Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center’ in Los Angeles, California. Their older sister, Blue Ivy Carter, was born in 2012. Beyoncé and Jay purchased a lavish collection of baby items from the luxurious brand ‘Suommo’ for their twins, which totaled £130 thousand.
Beyoncé shared the first photo of her twins on her Instagram account on July 13, 2017. This picture gained just as much attention as the one she posted while pregnant and quickly became the second most-liked post on Instagram at the time.
The photo was captured by Mason Poole, as confirmed by her representative, and also revealed the names of the twins. One of the twins, Rumi, was named after the renowned 13th-century Persian poet Jalāl al-Dīn Muḥammad Rūmī, who is celebrated as one of the most notable poets in the United States.
In the September 2018 edition of ‘Vogue,’ an article was featured discussing Beyoncé’s pregnancy and its aftermath. In her ‘Netflix’ film, ‘Homecoming,’ Beyoncé openly discussed her second pregnancy and the difficulties and obstacles she encountered while trying to perform again after giving birth.
During her pregnancy, Beyoncé experienced preeclampsia, a condition also known as toxemia, which causes high blood pressure and significant weight gain. When she gave birth to her twins, she weighed 218 lbs.
Rumors circulated in the media during the final stage of her pregnancy that she had gotten lip fillers, but her representative refuted these claims. Her pregnancy complications may have caused her lips to appear fuller.
The birth was also difficult because one of the twins had a brief pause in their heartbeat while in the womb, resulting in an urgent need for a C-section. Following the delivery, Rumi Carter and Sir Carter received phototherapy to lower their elevated levels of bilirubin and prevent Jaundice.
Despite the challenging pregnancy and delivery, Beyoncé made a triumphant comeback with her performance at ‘Coachella,’ which she had to cancel the previous year.
Beyoncé and Jay-Z have submitted filings to secure the rights to the names Rumi and Sir, allowing them to potentially use the names for marketing various goods in the future. Despite their tendency to keep their children out of the public eye, the famous duo occasionally shares images of them on Beyoncé’s social media accounts.
Beyoncé released some photos in July 2018 featuring her, Jay-Z, Rumi, and Sir during their tour break in Europe. Later that year, Beyoncé also posted multiple pictures of her kids during their visit to India.
Rumi Carter made her debut on screen in 2020’s ‘Black Is King,’ a musical film written, directed, and executive produced by Beyoncé. The film received widespread praise, earning a 94% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Rumi Carter’s Musical Career
It appears that Rumi Carter is emulating her older sister Blue Ivy. Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s 6-year-old daughter (and twin of Sir) is included in her famous mother’s latest album, Cowboy Carter. The track “Protector” begins with a snippet of Rumi saying,
“Mom, can I hear the lullaby, please?”
Blue, Rumi’s older sister, was the standout performer on last year’s Renaissance tour, wowing audiences night after night with her mesmerizing dance solos. She had already made a name for herself at the young age of 9, winning a Grammy for her contribution to Beyoncé’s “Brown Skin Girl” music video.
Similar to Rumi Carter, Blue had also been featured in Beyoncé’s 2013 song “Blue” as a young child. As Rumi and her twin brother Sir continue to grow, it seems that she will also become more involved in her mother’s projects. In fact, she even appeared in Beyoncé’s film, Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé.
