Blue Ivy Carter was born on January 7, 2012, in New York City. She is the first child of Beyoncé and rapper Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter. The couple later had twins, Rumi and Sir, who were born in 2017.

Blue Ivy became one of the youngest credited winners in Grammy history when she shared the 2021 Grammy for Best Music Video for “Brown Skin Girl.” The award recognized the video associated with Beyoncé's The Lion King: The Gift project. She also appeared on recordings and in visual projects connected to her parents.

Her name is sometimes confused with those of her younger siblings. Rumi and Sir are twins, while Blue Ivy is the oldest child. “Carter” is the family surname used by all three children.
