June is a huge month for the Knowles family, as Beyoncé's twins Rumi and Sir also celebrate their birthday on June 13. The twins turned seven earlier in the month, and while they were celebrated in private, both Tina and Matthew, along with Beyoncé herself, opted against posting a public tribute for them, in order to help maintain a level of privacy.
