Beyoncé and Jay-Z shared a rare family portrait with the public, which showcased how quickly all their children are growing up.
The duo and their three children, 9-year-old Blue Ivy, and 3-year-old twins Rumi and Sir Carter, all wore matching black-and-white ensembles for the photo, snapped by the "Formation" singer's longtime hairstylist Neal Farinah.
Their eldest daughter posed in a pair of boots and reached her mother's shoulders as the "Halo" singer stood tall in heels. Blue Ivy's younger siblings were also notably standing hand-in-hand for the photo as opposed to being carried in either parents' arms, which is how they've usually been photographed.
It's been a while since the Carter family has been photographed altogether. On January 1, 2020, the "Halo" singer celebrated New Year's Day on Instagram with a compilation video that included a photo of her with her family at the very end.
Beyonce did share a batch of family photos more recently on March 31, but the whole family was not pictured together in any of the images. Jay-Z was missing completely, and each photo only focused on one of her kids.
The post also did not show the faces of either twin.
Jay-Z recently opened up to The Times about parenting with Beyoncé, saying they do not want to force a music empire onto their children.
As parents, he said they believe they are "just guides" and want to make sure they are "very attentive" to what their children are genuinely interested in.
"What if my child doesn't want to be in music or sports? I have no idea, right? But as long as your child feels supported, and feels loved, I think anything is possible," he told the publication.
