Beyonce is busy on her Mrs. Carter World Tour, but as the singer continues to travel the world and light the stage in multiple countries, it’s clear now more than ever that her life has changed since becoming a mother to daughter Blue Ivy. Although singing used to be her number one priority, Beyonce now feels a lot different about fame and considers motherhood and her family life as bigger priorities. Even though Beyonce is one of the biggest stars in music, she still feels superstardom is temporary no matter how much success you’ve accumulated in your music career. While promoting her upcoming film Epic at a press conference, she tells reporters:
“Definitely I would like to have more children. Motherhood has changed everything. You see things a bit differently after you give birth and my biggest job now is to protect my child.
“After giving birth there’s a moment of rediscovery when you are making sure you still have goals and take care of yourself as a woman.
“That was something I struggled with – making sure I was still this strong woman and also making time for my child and balancing the two.”
On superstardom:
“But I feel this is temporary and my public life when I’m performing on stage is just a few hours of the day. The rest of the day I’m with my family, I’m changing diapers and I’m with my mother who reminds me, ‘Girl, you’re not a Queen’. So it’s good to have the balance.
“Balancing is something I am struggling with, but I am trying to smell the roses and make sure I don’t work so hard that I don’t enjoy the blessings that are around me every day.”
In related news, Beyonce also made an appearance on Good Morning America today and stunned fans recently when she brought daughter Blue Ivy on stage during a rendition of her hit song “Irreplaceable.” Check out the videos below:
I think she will always be a big star. But at some point, she’ll walk and retire like the others. But at least she was smart enough to stack up her money so she won’t ever have to struggle when it’s her time to walk away. Her child and entire family will be straight for life. Smart.
Agreed!
I just love how humble Beyonce still is and if anybody has a right to act diva like it could be her because ain’t nobody on her level.#KINGBEY
I love this chick.
I’m glad she gets how important it is to take time out to enjoy life! That is so important.
This is why I don’t get all the hate Beyonce gets. She seems like a really cool person. Love her.
Jealousy. Unhappy people can’t stand her because she is living THE life. That’s just how it is. She’s still going to be successful no matter what jealous people say though. #bowdown
