Which daughter of Beyoncé was born in 2012?

The story behind the answer

Blue Ivy Carter, Beyoncé’s daughter with Jay-Z, was born in 2012.

Blue Ivy was born on January 7, 2012, in New York City. She is the first child of Beyoncé and Jay-Z, whose birth was widely reported because both parents were already major figures in music and entertainment.

She later appeared in her parents’ creative work. Blue Ivy received a songwriting credit on Beyoncé’s album Beyoncé and appeared vocally on “Blue.” She also featured on “Brown Skin Girl,” which won a Grammy Award in 2021.

Blue Ivy is sometimes confused with her younger siblings, Rumi and Sir Carter, who were born in 2017. The three children are Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s children, but only Blue Ivy was born in 2012. Her name is also associated with the children’s book series written by her grandmother, Tina Knowles-Lawson, and other public creative projects.
