Beyonce Unveiled Baby Blue Ivy Carter Photos On Her Own Terms

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Beyonce Baby Update – Beyonce and Jay-Z unveiled the first baby pictures of Blue Ivy Carter not through a weekly tabloid but through a personal tumblr page. The beautiful pictures reflect Blue Ivy over the first thirty days of her life. It’s no surprise that Beyonce and her husband, who are notoriously private deliberately turned away millions for their baby photos.

In January, days before Beyonce gave birth, a Huffington Post editor stated,

“They are one of the most private couples. We have made several offers to their people about running exclusive images of mother and baby and no one has responded.”

Now the couple’s friend and Jay-Z’s stylist, June Ambrose (center), gives some insight on their decision.

“B really really thought about this and she really wanted to do it this way,” said June to US Weekly at the Mara Hoffman fashion show in New York City. She continued,

“She just couldn’t imagine selling pictures of her baby. It just felt really good to see her do it under her terms. It doesn’t surprise me.”

Ambrose of course gushed about Blue Ivy, “She’s definitely very alert, you can see from the photos, you feel like she’s been here before…she’s always in a loving environment, and you can see that she’s born into greatness. I think that’s what those photos really say. She’s a good baby!”

What do you think of the Beyonce’s decision to shun popular magazines?

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
