‘A traumatic experience is the reason why?’: Why Beyoncé’ and Jay-Z never share photos of their son Sir Carter

Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s son, Sir Carter, has rarely been seen, but fans wonder if a traumatic experience is the reason why. Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s choice to remain private about their children allows them to control their public image and protect their family from unwanted scrutiny and media attention.

The couple’s decision to showcase their daughters, Blue Ivy and Rumi, while keeping their son, Sir, out of the public eye may be due to Blue Ivy’s troubling past experiences.

Beyoncé’s difficult pregnancy and delivery, which included health complications for both her and her twins, may be a reason why the couple is more overprotective of Sir compared to their other children.

Despite musicians Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s massive fame and fortunes, they are notoriously private in their personal lives, particularly when it comes to their three children: Blue Ivy, Sir, and Rumi Carter.

There are several reasons behind the couple’s choice to remain guarded; the first is that maintaining as much privacy as possible shields their family from unwanted scrutiny and invasive media attention, enabling them to control the narrative of their public image. Lastly, they enjoy the celebrity life while relishing a semblance of normalcy behind the  cameras. Nevertheless, this secrecy has a downside, as it also increases the public’s curiosity, especially considering that Blue Ivy has begun to forge a music career, and Rumi has even modeled for her mother’s fashion brand Ivy Park; this also leaves fans debating why they rarely ever see the couple’s son Sir. And really, who are Beyonce’s twins?

On Beyonce’s fan Reddit page, there is an entire thread entitled “Why is it you think we never see Sir but see Blue and Rumi?”.

The comments under that title have sparked a fierce debate over why Beyoncé and Jay-Z seem more willing to parade their two daughters, Blue Ivy and Rumi, and not show off their son, Sir. The consensus on the forum was, that given how the couple’s firstborn, Blue Ivy, was ridiculed on social media when she was younger; it seemed plausible they’d want to shield their son, who possibly has an aversion to the  cameras, from suffering a similar fate.

Now that Blue Ivy is older, her parents seemingly feel more comfortable exposing her to the limelight. The young star has attended several awards shows, concerts, basketball games and red carpet screenings alongside her famous parents.

However, Jay-Z and Beyoncé have kept Blue Ivy, as well as their other two children’s lives, as normal as possible behind the glares of the  camera. “Expect the same kind of upbringing and life for the twins as Blue when it comes to privacy, being involved” a source close to Beyoncé and Jay-Z told The Hollywood Life. “Beyoncé won’t change a thing about how they will be raised. You always learn things to do or not to do with your second baby, but her kids’ privacy and raising them normal is something very important to her, no matter which child it is. She wants the best for all of her children.”

The public is treated to the occasional glimpses of one of the twins, Sir Carter — such as in a few paparazzi shots, Instagram photos and more recently, we got a glimpse of the twins in Beyonce’s Renaissance World Tour film, Renaissance: A Film By Beyoncé. We also caught a glimpse of Sir in a feature in Beyoncé’s “Black is King” visual album in which the songstress dedicated the album to, stating ” to my son, Sir Carter, and to all our sons and daughters, the sun and moon bow for you. You are the keys to the kingdom,” he is still not seen as much as his sisters.

Twins Rumi and Sir Carter were born on June 13, 2017 in Los Angeles. In her Netflix Documentary entitled Homecoming, Beyoncé recounted her pregnancy with her two youngest children, of which Rumi is the eldest. According to Beyoncé, her pregnancy and delivery were extremely difficult and one of the most challenging experiences of her life. She discussed how her body went through more than she ever thought it could. For example, the “Crazy in Love” singer stated she weighed slightly over 218 pounds the day she gave birth to her twins. She also said that throughout her pregnancy, she developed high blood pressure and preeclampsia.

Additionally, Beyoncé shockingly revealed the devastating news that in the delivery room, one of her twin’s heartbeats stopped a few times in the womb, which forced doctors to perform an emergency C-section, as confirmed by The Daily Mail. While Beyoncé didn’t specifically mention which one of her twins experienced the heart issues, it has long been rumored that the twin in question was Sir; this reason is why many fans believe Beyoncé and Jay-Z are more overprotective of Sir.
