Beyonce Knowles is a name that is recognized across the globe, and rightfully so! Not only has Beyonce become one of the biggest stars in the world, but she has taken on a number of projects throughout her career that have solidified her spot as a true artist and icon.
Beyonce first began her career as a member of Destiny's Child, which also included Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams. The legendary trio managed to come out with hit song after hit song securing their spot as one of the most successful girl groups in music history. Despite no longer being together, Bey is extremely close with both Kelly and Michelle, however, who does she consider to be her best friend?
While fans always assume Kelly and Beyonce are the closest, since they quite literally grew up together, it appears as if they aren't best friends. During an interview with Oprah Winfrey, Beyonce revealed who her real BFF is, and you'd be surprised to know that it isn't Kelly or Michelle. Let's get into it!
Battle Of The Besties
Beyonce, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams were once upon a time taking over the world of music, performing across the world and selling millions upon millions of albums as the legendary girl group, Destiny's Child. If you weren't saying their name, paying their bills, or weren't ready for all that jelly, then it's time to take a stroll down memory lane and get your Destiny's Child on because they are not a group to be slept on.
When it came down to who was closer to who, fans always believed that Kelly Rowland and Beyonce were much closer than with Michelle. Although this was true since both Kelly and Beyonce had grown up together and were the two original members of the group, Michelle was very much part of the trio and it was equal love all around.
The women joined Beyonce during her 2013 Super Bowl Halftime Show and again in 2018 at Beyonce's headline performance at Coachella. While the girls are no longer actively making music, they've certainly still got a great bond, a bond that has led many to believe that Bey and Kelly are besties, when in fact, Kelly has got some competition!
Blue Ivy Takes The Lead
In 2012, Beyonce and Jay-Z's life changed for the best. The iconic duo welcomed their first child together, Blue Ivy Carter. A year after giving birth, Beyonce sat down with Oprah Winfrey for a one-on-one interview regarding her new life as a mother. While Oprah's questions had Beyonce struggling to find the words to express her love for her daughter, she managed to find them and explained the journey as "joyful" and how "my daughter introduced me to myself".
Beyonce's face lit up when the topic if Blue Ivy came up and she was all smiles for the remainder of the interview. When it came time to describe their connection, Beyonce made sure that people knew that Blue Ivy was her everything, including her best friend. Beyonce continued to describe the "connection" the two share and how unparalleled it is to anything she's ever felt towards another human before.
While choosing your 13-month-old daughter as your "best friend" might be too easy, that's what Beyonce said, and who are we to question anything Beyonce says. This obviously does not mean that Kelly and Bey aren't close, but when it comes to the number one girl in Beyonce's life, it isn't Kelly, not even Bey's sister, Solange or mother, Tina Knowles, it's Blue Ivy and Blue Ivy only.
Beyonce & Motherhood
Flashforward to June 13, 2017, and Beyonce welcomed her twin babies, Rumi and Sir Carter, expanding the family even more. With three kids now, Beyonce has taken on the role of being a mother as best as she could, and according to Bey's mom, Tina Knowles, she has managed to do an excellent job.
While Beyonce has allowed Blue Ivy to join the limelight with red carpet appearances, collaborating on both Bey and Jay's music, attending NBA games, the whole works! However, Bey and Jay have taken a different approach with their soon to be 3-year-old twins. It is no surprise that the family is very private and rightfully so. When you are amongst the most famous people in the world, chances are you will try to keep your kids as innocent as possible for as long as possible.
Beyonce has proven herself as a singer, songwriter, actress, producer and now, mother. It appears as if there is not a single job that Beyonce cannot do. As Blue Ivy has gotten older, she and Bey have been able to share a lot more moments together, including their time shooting Beyonce's "Spirit" music video. So, if Blue was Bey's bestie at 13 months, it's only fitting to assume that the two are even closer now than ever before.
