What is the name of Beyoncé’s eldest child, born in 2012?

Beyoncé’s eldest child, born in 2012, is Blue Ivy Carter. Blue Ivy was born on January 7, 2012, in New York City to Beyoncé and Jay-Z.

She became one of the most recognizable celebrity children in the world, but she also developed an early connection to music and performance. Blue Ivy is credited as a featured vocalist on “Brown Skin Girl,” a song from Beyoncé’s 2019 album The Lion King: The Gift. The track won the 2021 Grammy for Best Music Video.

Blue Ivy also appears in the visual album Black Is King and joined Beyoncé onstage during the Renaissance World Tour. In 2024, she voiced the character Kiara in Mufasa: The Lion King, alongside her father, who voiced Mufasa.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z later welcomed twins, Rumi and Sir, in 2017. Those names are therefore associated with the family, but Blue Ivy is the eldest child and the first publicly announced birth.
