The couple debunked rumors that the little girl was delivered via C-section and said it was “the best experience” of their lives!
Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z have kept mum about details on their daughter Blue Ivy Carter‘s birth — until now! “We are happy to announce the arrival of our beautiful daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, born on Saturday, January 7, 2012,” a statement to Us Weekly read. “Her birth was emotional and extremely peaceful, we are in heaven.”
The little superstar’s birth took place at Lenox Hill Hospital in NYC. “She was delivered naturally at a healthy 7 lbs and it was the best experience of both our lives,” the couple said, dispelling rumors that Beyonce, 30, gave birth by C-section.
“We are thankful to everyone for all your prayers, well wishes, love and support,” they added.

I predict the boy who’s going to marry little baby girl many years from now will be effeminate, unless she gets brothers. I wonder if Kanye is the real father. Maybe the Jackson kids have a new biological organ donor they can reference. Congrats, kids!

I think there’s a lot of weird stuff about this.
Bump being off, possible surrogate, unusual name that means something to them, and so on.
They still have a baby. No matter how they got this baby, and the name I wish them the best! :)

With her belly folding in weirdly during that one interview, and always hiding her bump. Yeah she showed it, but not as much as I would have thought her to being proud to be pregnant. I’m thinking she either secretly adopted, or paid someone off to be a surrogate.

i think she did too, and if she did just own up to it, when her fans find out she lied about it her popularity will go down…

I couldn’t agree more.Jay-Z – Might make an ok boy, but his features on a girl,Oh My God! I wonder if this is why they are spending so much money, maybe to compensate. A girl should have delicate feminine features, imagine Jay-Z lips or nose on her. Well at least she is rich.
