Tina Knowles is putting an end to the long-standing rumors surrounding her daughter Beyoncé’s pregnancy with Blue Ivy. Over a decade after Beyoncé’s 2011 VMA pregnancy reveal, speculation continued to swirl that the superstar faked her baby bump. Now, in a candid interview, Tina is setting the record straight.
Describing the ordeal as “one of the most painful things” she’s ever experienced, Tina said it was heartbreaking to hear people question her family’s truth. She remained silent at Beyoncé’s request, despite the emotional toll. “Babies are sacred,” she said, calling the false narrative “disgusting.”
In her memoir Matriarch, Tina also shared that Beyoncé had suffered miscarriages prior to her pregnancy with Blue Ivy, making the moment deeply personal and sacred. Unfortunately, a fold in Beyoncé’s dress during a TV appearance became the spark for baseless rumors. Tina called it “the stupidest thing” and expressed how damaging it was for the media to cast doubt on something so miraculous.
Beyoncé is now a proud mom of three — Blue Ivy, Rumi, and Sir — and Tina’s words reaffirm just how precious each of those journeys has been for their family.
