Beyoncé and Jay-Z have basically mastered the art of being the most famous people on earth while keeping their home life under a literal titanium vault. It's wild. You’d think by 2025 we’d know every single detail about their lives, but when it comes to the twins, Rumi and Sir Carter, we’re still mostly just piecing together glimpses from tour footage and the occasional grainy sideline photo.
The internet is constantly buzzing with theories. Are they going to be the next big stars? Why does Sir never show up to the red carpets?
The Beyonce twins 2025 Reality Check
Let's be real for a second: 2025 has been a massive year for the Carter kids, specifically because of the Cowboy Carter Tour. If you were at the SoFi Stadium kickoff in April or caught the London shows in June, you saw history happen. Rumi Carter didn’t just show up; she officially made her stage debut.

While her big sister Blue Ivy (who is somehow already 14, by the way) has been a fixture in the dance crew since the Renaissance days, Rumi took a different path. During the performance of "Protector"—that heart-wrenching track where she’s literally credited for asking her mom for a lullaby—Rumi walked out. She waved. She hugged her mom.
The crowd lost it.
Honestly, seeing a seven-year-old (who turned eight in June 2025) handle a stadium of 70,000 people with that much chill is kind of terrifying. But it also highlighted the massive divide between her and her twin brother.
Where exactly is Sir Carter?
This is the question that floods the comments every time Beyoncé posts. Sir is rarely there. He wasn't at the 2025 Super Bowl in New Orleans with Jay-Z, Blue, and Rumi. He wasn’t on stage during the tour.
Does that mean something is "wrong"? No.
Tina Knowles, the coolest grandma on the planet, basically cleared this up during an interview at the Angel Ball in late 2025. She described Sir as "very laid back" and just not that into the spotlight. It’s a personality thing. While Rumi is apparently a "fashionista" who argues about her outfits with Blue, Sir seems perfectly happy playing with Legos or whatever rich kids do while his sisters are out being icons.
It’s actually refreshing. In an era where every celebrity kid is being pushed into "influencer" status before they can even spell, the Carters are letting Sir just... be a kid.
Rumi's Record-Breaking Year
We have to talk about the Billboard charts. Rumi isn't just a "famous kid." She's technically a professional musician. By featuring on "Protector," she became the youngest female artist to ever chart on the Billboard Hot 100.
- She beat her own sister's record.
- She did it before she finished second grade.
- She did it without a single TikTok dance.
That’s a level of "nepotism" that actually produces something high-quality. The song is a standout on an album that swept the 2025 Grammys, and seeing her perform it live added a layer of authenticity that you can't fake with marketing.
Growing Up in the Public Eye (Sort Of)
Beyoncé told GQ back in late 2024 that her priority is "normalcy and privacy." That sounds like a joke when you live in a $200 million Malibu compound, but you can see her trying. The twins go to school. They travel. They learn languages.
One detail people often miss: the "On the Run II" tour footage. We’re seeing more of that "behind-the-scenes" life in the tour visuals now. In the 2025 tour montages, there’s rare footage of Sir and Rumi as infants, bonding with Blue, and just being a family. It’s like Beyoncé is saying, "I’ll show you, but only on my terms."
The "Twin" Dynamic
They are eight now. That’s a big age. They’re developing distinct identities. According to family accounts:
- Rumi: Outgoing, loves the stage, has a "determined" sense of style.
- Sir: Reserved, private, likely the one who will end up running the business side of the empire one day.
It’s fascinating to watch. Usually, twins are marketed as a package deal. The Carters aren't doing that. They’re treating them as two separate people with two very different comfort levels regarding fame.
What’s Next for the Carters?
As the Cowboy Carter era winds down and the world waits for Act III (the rumored rock or jazz album), the question of the twins remains. Will Sir ever join them on stage? Probably not.
But Rumi? She’s clearly got the bug.
Don't expect a solo album anytime soon, though. Beyoncé is protective for a reason. She saw what the industry did to her as a kid in Destiny's Child, and she's clearly moving with more caution this time around.
If you're looking for the best way to keep up with them, stop looking for "leaked" photos. The real updates happen on Beyonce.com or through Tina Knowles' Instagram (when she isn't being told off by Bey for sharing too much).
Next Steps for Fans:
- Watch the Tour Film: The Cowboy Carter tour film (expected late 2025/early 2026) is the only place you'll see high-def footage of the twins.
- Check the Credits: Look for "R. Carter" or "S. Carter" in future Parkwood production credits; the kids are already reportedly "consulting" on fashion lines.
- Respect the Privacy: If Sir isn't in a photo, it's because he didn't want to be. Let the kid have his childhood.
