What is the name of Beyoncé's eldest child?

Beyoncé's eldest child is Blue Ivy Carter. She was born on January 7, 2012, in New York City to Beyoncé and Jay-Z. Blue Ivy is the couple's first child and the older sibling of twins Rumi and Sir Carter.

Blue Ivy has appeared in several of her parents' musical projects. She received a songwriting credit on Beyoncé's song “Brown Skin Girl,” which was included on The Lion King: The Gift in 2019. Her vocal appearance helped make her one of the youngest credited winners of a major music award when the song received a Grammy in 2021.

She also appeared in the music video for “Brown Skin Girl” and in performances connected to her mother's Renaissance World Tour. Her public appearances have been selective rather than continuous.

Blue Ivy is sometimes mixed up with Rumi, one of the twins born in 2017. Blue Ivy was born five years earlier and is the family's eldest child.
