Tina Knowles Slams Rumors: Beyoncé Didn’t Fake Blue Ivy Pregnancy

by

Tina Knowles will always protect her family.

More than a decade has passed since Beyoncé revealed she was pregnant with Blue Ivy, her daughter, during the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards. Contrary to earlier suspicions, Beyoncé’s mother has since refuted claims that the singer’s pregnancy was staged, as was the case with “Love on Top.

Tina shared with People in an interview on April 22nd that it was incredibly difficult for her because she felt powerless to speak up, “My daughter kept telling me, ‘You’re going to exaggerate the story.’ Yet, it persisted for a prolonged period. It remains one of my most distressing experiences that people could be so vile.

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I deeply cherish my family, viewing them as priceless treasures. The sanctity of newborns is undeniable too. It’s disheartening when I encounter individuals who spew unfounded and harsh words, casting doubt on my entire family because we’d all supposedly be involved in a conspiracy to hide something so deeply sacred.

In a candid expression, the 71-year-old mother of Solange Knowles shared that it was challenging for her to keep silent during a particular period.

In her recently published memoir titled “Matriarch,” she disclosed that Beyoncé had endured miscarriages in the past. She explained that their current 13-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy, was the most treasured addition to their family following a difficult period.

According to a passage from The Independent, Tina shared that Beyoncé opted to keep her pregnancy private for a considerable length of time, preferring to inform only her closest companions later on.

She found Beyoncé’s pregnancy challenging, both emotionally and physically, as the Grammy winner, mother of 7-year-old twins Rumi and Sir, opted to conceal her pregnancy until she felt comfortable doing so.

However, once the “XO” singer revealed the news, speculation arose that her baby bump might be false, as people noticed the fabric of her dress bunching during a television appearance, leading some to suspect it was not real.

In the wake of such profound sorrow and agony, what transpired next left me utterly bewildered – the most mind-numbingly foolish behavior I’ve ever witnessed. It baffled me to see how the media, at a time like this, could choose to exploit a life as miraculous as the one we lost, casting doubt on its authenticity and origin.

As for Beyoncé, she has shared before that she delved into contemplation about her sorrow, mentioning that she started seeking a more profound purpose in life after facing the pain and heartache she endured.

She shared with ELLE U.K. in 2020 that experiencing miscarriages made her realize the importance of nurturing herself before she could care for another. After having Blue, she felt her search for purpose grew even deeper. Her relationship transformed her, leading to a stronger desire for self-discovery.

During this solemn period, following such grief and torment, what transpired was some of the most senseless behavior I had ever witnessed, Tina penned. It was puzzling to many why it was insensitive for the media to capitalize on a life that was miraculous in nature and question its authenticity and origins.

In her interview with ELLE U.K. in 2020, she shared that experiencing miscarriages made her realize the importance of nurturing herself before she could care for someone else.

Ever since giving birth to her son Sonny with husband Tim Rosenman in 2017, the former Hills alum has openly discussed the highs and lows of her fertility experience, which includes two pregnancies she lost herself and the two miscarriages experienced by her surrogate.

In July 2024, Whitney confirmed she’s preparing for a second egg retrieval. 

Following her disclosure about two failed surrogacy attempts and her own experience of two miscarriages, Whitney revealed in July 2024 that she was getting ready for another egg collection procedure.

She expressed that she feels significantly improved compared to her previous visit due to having a better understanding of what to anticipate. Furthermore, she has an immense amount of confidence and belief in her physician.

Regardless of the events unfolding as they prepare for a second child, Whitney has made it clear that her family of three is complete and not missing anything.

In the midst of our journey towards welcoming our second child, I find myself affirming that we are already whole, regardless of the outcome. On your 7th birthday in July 2024, Sonny, I celebrate you as a blessing. It’s a joy to witness your growth and I am incredibly thankful for your easy-going nature.

 

The actress from “Everything Everywhere All At Once” shared insights on the difficulties she faced in attempting to have children during her marriage to Dickson Poon. She later wed Jean Todt in 2023 after being engaged for 19 years.

In her podcast interview last November, Michelle expressed that she had always harbored a strong desire for parenthood. She sought fertility assistance to facilitate this dream. She mentioned that the most challenging phase was enduring monthly setbacks, which made her feel defeated and unsuccessful.

She went on to say, “Eventually, you cease to self-blame because sometimes our bodies simply don’t work as expected. That’s just the way it is. You need to release your grip and carry on.

The musician, who has a son named Wilde with her husband Maximillion Cooper, previously revealed a devastating incident involving a miscarriage caused by an ectopic pregnancy during the production of her television show ‘Eve’.

In her memoir Who’s That Girl?, Eve wrote that it was in 2006 when she discovered she was pregnant. This unexpected news required an emergency operation, causing her to halt filming for a fortnight. She admits to fibbing to the crew about her appendix bursting, perhaps because she was also deceiving herself at the time.

She said if she had to go through losing her baby, she wasn’t sure two weeks would be sufficient for emotional recovery. In reality, that brief period of healing time turned out to be barely enough for her physically, as she was quickly back at work. After the surgery, she lost a lot of weight and her body became quite weak.

 

The star from the show “Selling Sunset,” who became a mother to her son Austin when she was 15 years old, has openly discussed her and her husband Romain Bonnet’s experiences with fertility.

She shared with TopMob News in Sept. 2024 that the outcome remains uncertain because they’re just dealing with things as they come up. Currently, she’s swamped between working on her book, the ongoing season, and various other responsibilities. So, she believes that if she’s stressed out or running around, nothing positive will happen.

Besides having a surgical procedure to correct a septate uterus (where the uterus has a partition in two halves due to a membrane), Mary mentioned that she and Romain aren’t hurrying to make any decisions, and they are content with their pet dog.

The real estate agent mentioned, “We have our pet cat, Thor, and Romaine can’t get enough of him. If the sale doesn’t go through, Romaine says he’ll manage. He has his dear cat, and he’s absolutely smitten. We’ll find a way, whatever fate has in store for us will come to pass.

 

The NFL commentator and her spouse, Jarret Stoll, experienced various highs and lows throughout their parenthood journey, which included dealing with Erin’s cervical cancer diagnosis back in 2017. Their newborn son, Mack, joined them in July 2023.

After freezing her eggs prior to her cancer fight, she subsequently went through In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) as a means to help her conceive a child. This personal journey she chose to openly discuss with others.

In her 2021 essay, she articulated the reason for her silence: “I had grown weary of staying silent about my struggles,” she said. “It was a grueling, agonizing journey. I think I became almost detached during most of it, as if I were just a machine, riding an unfair and often distressing roller coaster that frequently brought me bad news.

She stated, “I’m an open individual who can express my feelings candidly, discussing the hardships and understanding the struggles faced by many couples and families aiming to conceive a child.
