Beyoncé is keeping her boundaries firm.
On Tuesday (September 10), GQ released an interview piece with Beyoncé where she delved into her latest business ventures and music and gave fans a small glimpse into her family life.
The Grammy Award-winning artist, who shares daughter Blue, 12, and twins Rumi and Sir, 7, with husband Jay-Z, said she’s worked hard to keep her personal life private in a world of so much access.
“One thing I’ve worked extremely hard on is making sure my kids can have as much normalcy and privacy as possible, ensuring my personal life isn’t turned into a brand,” Bey told GQ. “It’s very easy for celebrities to turn our lives into performance art. I have made an extreme effort to stay true to my boundaries and protect myself and my family.”
“No amount of money is worth my peace,” she added.
Beyoncé also revealed how she balances her family and work life.
“I build my work schedule around my family,” the singer said. “I try to only tour when my kids are out of school. I always dreamt of a life where I could see the world with my family and expose them to different languages, architecture, and lifestyles.”
“My kids come with me everywhere I go,” Bey continued. “They come to my office after school, and they are in the studio with me. They are in dance rehearsals. It’s natural that they would learn my choreography.”
And learning her mom’s choreography is what led Blue to dance onstage during the Renaissance tour.
“Blue is an artist,” Beyoncé said. “She has great taste in music and fashion. She is a fantastic editor, painter, and actress. She has been creating characters since she was three. She’s a natural, but I did not want Blue onstage. Blue wanted it for herself.”
“She took it seriously and she earned it,” the artist said of Blue joining her for the tour. “And most importantly, she had fun! We all watched her grow more and more every night before our eyes.”
