Beyoncé and Jay-Z are fiercely protective of their whole family. 

Despite being global megastars for decades, the husband and wife have famously kept the finer details of their private life to themselves and, in later years, their growing children away from the glare of the spotlight.

Whilst their eldest, Blue Ivy, a budding actress and performer, is growing into a star in her own right and stepping into the limelight more, their younger twins, Sir and Rumi, are, naturally, are little more shielded.

However, Beyoncé does occasionally let her Beyhive in, and an adorable private outing she and Sir had was later shared with the world in her documentary film, RENAISSANCE: A Film by Beyoncé.

In one moment from the film, Beyoncé is sharing how she navigates being a present mother to her three children while performing every night on tour, and one clip showed the 'Texas Hold 'Em' singer and Sir walking together through an aquarium.

It's not clear which aquarium the mother-son duo were visiting, but the doting mom can be seen leaning down to her son's level while they observed in awe at the swimming sharks in front of them.

The superstar, who is only open about the inner workings of their life when it's firmly on her terms, shared plenty of family-filmed footage of them behind the scenes while she was putting together her massive Renaissance World Tour which took place in the summer of 2023.

Another sweet moment showed Sir joining Beyoncé in rehearsals as the little one is seen on stage with her, taking in the enormity of his mom's 'office'. 

Beyoncé's dedication to three children

Beyoncé is beaming down at her son and then leans in to lift him up. The star voiceover gives more context and detail as she shares how adamant she is about always having her children around even when working.

"My first job is my children and they're my first priority so if someone gets bitten by a spider or [any other] of the crazy things that happened while I was on this tour, that's when my real job starts," she explains in the movie.

"I still drop them off at school, and I still take them shopping for their first day of school, all of the things that mothers do.

"So when I leave [the tour] my children they come with me and they come everywhere with me."

During the same moment in the film, Beyoncé's mother, Tina, 70, opens up about how proud she is to see Beyoncé prioritise her children over anything else.

"As a mother, it's my proudest moment watching you show much love, patience and care in mothering your children," Tina says to her eldest daughter directly. "It's been a blessing for me every day."

The Carters for a long time kept all of their away from the public, only sharing photos or video clips in documentaries like Homecoming on Netflix.

But as the years have gone by, fans have seen more of the younger two, particularly Rumi who appeared to be having the time of her life while attending the Super Bowl with her dad and big sister in February.

According to their grandmother, Tina Knowles, Sir prefers quiet activities. She told E! News: "Rumi is amazing – an amazing artist, painter, and creator... Sir is very quiet. 

"He does all of the numbers stuff, so he's not into fashion as much. She then added that he was "very, very smart."
