What is the name of Beyoncé’s first daughter with Jay-Z?

The story behind the answer

Beyoncé’s first daughter with Jay-Z is Blue Ivy Carter. She was born on January 7, 2012, in New York City.

Blue Ivy is the eldest of Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s three children. Her younger siblings are twins Rumi and Sir Carter, born in 2017. Beyoncé and Jay-Z have generally kept their family life private, although their children have occasionally appeared in music, videos, performances, and public photographs.

Blue Ivy received an early public credit as a featured vocalist on Jay-Z’s song “Glory,” released shortly after her birth. She later appeared on Beyoncé’s song “Brown Skin Girl,” which won the BET Her Award and earned her a Grammy Award as a credited performer and songwriter.

A common mix-up is reversing the children’s order or treating Rumi as the eldest. Blue Ivy was born five years before the twins. Her surname, Carter, comes from her parents’ married family name, while Beyoncé’s professional name remains widely used without a surname.
