Beyonce: Jay-Z Would Not Have Missed Blue Ivy's Birth For Anything

Beyonce has spoken for the first time about her newly born daughter Blue Ivy Carter.

The singer, who gave birth to her and Jay-Z's first child earlier this month, said being a mother is the best experience.

According to UK Star magazine, Beyonce said: 'Nothing can describe the feeling. You have the instant connection once you know your child is growing inside you, but when you hold it for the first time, the words can’t be found.'

He would not have missed it for anything. He is a very protective and loyal guy by nature. He is a very protective husband, and since we found out I was pregnant I have seen the protective father in him.

He is not only an inspirational artist, he is an inspirational husband. I know the next step on his journey is going to be being an inspirational father.'

'He will change diapers, of course he will. He is going to be a very hands-on father. He has already said publicly that providing isn’t love.

'Love is being there. Love is doing the little things for your child.'

The singer also spoke about rumours that the couple rented out the entire fourth floor for the event, spending a total of $1.3 million whilst all cameras in the hospital were covered and staff were required to hand over their mobile devices.

'Everybody who we wanted to see her, saw her.

'Security was very tight, but not just for the sake of it, it was for the security of our daughter'.
