Beyonce and Jay-Z welcomed a daughter Saturday night in New York, the little one`s arrival coming via scheduled C-section, mutliple sources confirm to our reporters. And the little princess name is? Blue Ivy Carter! At least that`s what Jay-Z is telling pals at this point, the couple`s reps have not immediately responded to calls seeking comment.
Russell Simmons was among the first to celebrate the arrival, posting a message to the new parents: congrats to my good friends Beyonce and Jay-Z. Rihanna also gave baby Blue a warm message: Welcome to the world princess Carter! Love Aunty Rih. Beyonce and Jay-Z got married in April 2008 after six years of dating. Considering they waited another three years to have a baby, you can tell this is one couple that thinks things through!
Beyonce memorably revealed that she was pregnant onstage at the MTV Video Music Awards in August. Jay-Z certainly seems to be in the right head space, telling reporters in November that he hoped to be the kind of father whose children could talk to him about anything. Congratulations from us as well, and all the best for the little princess and her parents! Let`s have a look again at theirs Crazy In Love video:
