Even though Beyoncé is a well-known celebrity, she is no different from the rest of us when it comes to parenthood. The Grammy-winning singer lives with her husband Jay-Z and three children: Blue Ivy, 11, and twins Rumi and Sir, 6.
When she’s not busy being Queen Bey, she loves nothing more than spending time with her family. Even in the best of circumstances, working mothers have obstacles, and the Break My Soul singer recently acknowledged that she finds it difficult to strike a balance between running her business and being present for her family, including her husband and children, as per Hello! Magazine.

“I think the most stressful thing for me is balancing work and life,” she told Elle back in 2019. “Making sure I am present for my kids — dropping Blue off at school, taking Rumi and Sir to their activities, making time for date nights with my husband, and being home in time to have dinner with my family — all while running a company can be challenging.”
The singer discussed her life as a mother and performer in the documentary Homecoming , and she also acknowledged that juggling both is “a lot,” demonstrating that at the end of the day, she is a human with struggles and difficulties just like the rest of us, reports Showbiz . “Just trying to figure out how to balance being a mother of a 6-year-old and of twins that need me and giving myself creatively and physically it is a lot to juggle.” She added, “It’s not like before when I could rehearse 15 hours straight — I have children, I have a husband. I have to take care of my body.”

Beyoncé spent a lot of time practicing for her Coachella performance in 2018, but she still managed to make time for her children. “My mind was not there. My mind wanted to be with my children. What people don’t see is the sacrifice. I would dance and go off to the trailer and breastfeed the babies, the days I could I would bring the children,” Beyoncé said in the Homecoming documentary.
