Beyoncé and Jay-Z are effectively managing the rigors of being two of the most high-profile entertainers and entrepreneurs in the world, with being parents-of-three.
The pop icon, 43, and the rapper and streaming mogul, 54, share oldest pre-teen daughter Blue Ivy Carter, 12, and twins Rumi and Sir Carter, seven.
In a recent, rare interview with GQ, the Cowboy Carter hitmaker expanded expanded upon her relationship with her children and finding the balance of her status with motherhood and family.
She specifically also shared some insight into the different ways the three were growing up now compared to how her relationship with Jay-Z (real name Shawn Carter) first began in the early 2000s.
When speaking about reconciling her massive enterprise as a musician and businesswoman with being around family, she answered: "We live in a world of access. We have access to so much information — some facts, and some complete [expletive] disguised as truth."
She continued: "Our children can FaceTime and see their friends at any given moment. My husband and I? We used calling cards and Skype when we were falling in love."

Beyoncé emphasized that she worked tirelessly to ensure that her kids had the normalcy they needed, and justified why her persona as an artist is so wholly separate from her personal and private self.

"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," she elaborated.

The "Texas Hold 'Em" singer also spoke fondly about her children, admitting that while raising them isn't "easy," she is more than willing to adjust her professional schedule around their lives, and understands why they've picked up some of her talents too.

Beyoncé added: "My kids come with me everywhere I go. 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," referencing Blue's decision to join her mom on the Renaissance Tour as a dancer.
