Tina Knowles is marking a very special milestone for her granddaughter Blue Ivy, and she did it in a deeply personal and loving way.
On Wednesday, January 7, Knowles celebrated Blue Ivy’s 14th birthday by sharing a heartfelt Instagram post that quickly caught the attention of fans.
The 72-year-old author posted a collage featuring 14 photos of Blue Ivy taken at different stages of her life, a clear nod to the celebrated birthday.
Alongside the snaps, Knowles penned a moving message that reflects Blue Ivy’s journey before she was even born and the young teenager she is today.
She affectionately described her granddaughter as her “manager, makeup artist, fashion consultant and my love,” setting the tone of the tribute.
In her caption, Knowles reflected on the moment the family first learned Beyoncé was expecting.
“I remember the day we found out you were in your mother’s womb. We couldn’t have been more excited! We were told you were the size of a blueberry and that’s where your name came from!” she wrote.
She also shared how the family came together in prayer during those first weeks.
“We all prayed together for you every day until you were 12 weeks old in your mother’s womb! Then we prayed individually until you arrived months later.”
Knowles went on to describe Blue Ivy as strong and sharp from the start, noting that it was clear she was “a fighter from the start.”
She fondly remembers her days playing Princess and Barbie dolls, praising Blue Ivy’s imagination and precocious intelligence.
The message ended on a proud and affectionate note.
“To say I am a proud grandmother is an understatement! Knowles wrote, adding that despite Blue Ivy’s many accomplishments, she remains “a very gentle and kind and humble human being.”
Knowles is the grandmother of four grandchildren in total, including Blue Ivy, her younger siblings Rumi and Sir, and Solange Knowles’ son Julez.
Still, this birthday message made it clear that Blue Ivy’s 14th birthday was one that Tina Knowles wanted the world to celebrate with her.
