Tina Knowles wishes granddaughter Blue Ivy on 14th birthday
Tina Knowles is marking a very special milestone for her granddaughter Blue Ivy, and she did it in a way that felt deeply personal and full of love.
On Wednesday, Jan. 7, Knowles celebrated Blue Ivy’s 14th birthday by sharing a heartfelt Instagram post that quickly caught the attention of fans.
The 72-year-old author posted a collage featuring 14 photos of Blue Ivy taken across different stages of her life, a clear nod to the birthday being celebrated.
Alongside the snaps, Knowles wrote an emotional message that reflected on Blue Ivy’s journey from before she was even born to the young teenager she is today.
She affectionately described her granddaughter as her “manager, makeup artist, fashion adviser, and my love,” setting the tone for the tribute.
In her caption, Knowles looked back on the moment the family first learned Beyoncé was expecting.
“I remember the day that we found out about you being in your mom‘s womb. We could not have been more excited! We were told that you were the size of a blueberry and that is where your name came from!” she wrote.
She also shared how the family came together in prayer during those early weeks.
“We all prayed together for you every single day till you were 12 weeks old in your moms belly! Then we prayed individually until you arrived months later.”
Knowles went on to describe Blue Ivy as strong and sharp from the very beginning, noting that it was clear she was “a fighter from the beginning.”
She fondly recalled their time playing Princess and Barbie dolls, praising Blue Ivy’s imagination and early intelligence.
The message ended on a proud and loving note.
“To say that I’m a proud grandmother is an understatement!” Knowles wrote, adding that despite Blue Ivy’s many accomplishments, she remains “a very sweet, kind humble human being.”
Knowles is a grandmother to four grandchildren in total, including Blue Ivy, her younger siblings Rumi and Sir, and Solange Knowles’ son Julez.
Still, this birthday post made it clear that Blue Ivy’s 14th birthday was one Tina Knowles wanted the world to celebrate right along with her.
Princess Kate is being celebrated for her “quiet strength” as she marks her 44th birthday.
In a touching tribute shared on Friday, January 9, the Welsh Guards praised the Princess of Wales for her enduring support of the Armed Forces community, highlighting the impact she continues to have as Colonel-in-Chief.
The regiment honoured Kate’s “warmth, dedication and quiet strength,” noting that these qualities “continue to inspire countless people across the country.”
In their message, they underscored her long-standing commitment to those who serve, writing: “Through her support of service families, veterans, and causes close to our hearts, she consistently demonstrates compassion, resilience and a deep understanding of duty.”
The tribute closed with birthday wishes and gratitude “for her continued support of the nation and those who serve it,” signed off with the Welsh motto “Cymru Am Byth.”
The message comes amid a busy period for the Welsh Guards, who remain closely linked to Prince William. The Prince of Wales, who serves as colonel of the regiment, attended their Christmas celebrations at Windsor Barracks last month. During the visit, he personally helped serve dinner to members of the First Battalion and spent time socialising with troops in the Sergeants’ Mess, catching up on their work since his previous visit.
In recent years, the regiment has played a prominent role in major royal milestones, including the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II, the Coronation of King Charles III, and Trooping the Colour in 2023. Their tribute to Kate reflects a bond rooted in service, respect, and shared duty.
Meghan Trainor’s husband, Daryl Sabara, seems to have a surprising response to the Ashley Tisdale mom group fiasco, as he shared a neutral opinion.
The 33-year-old actor cleared the air by saying, “No drama over here, just trying to keep the kids happy,” soon after Trainor herself appeared to mock Tisdale in a TikTok video.
The Spy Kids star even expressed concern for the High School Musical star, after her essay in The Cut went viral, which detailed her experience of alienation in a group of fellow moms.
“I don’t really know what’s going on. I hope she’s okay though,” Sabara told TMZ on Thursday, January 8.
This comes after the singer shared a video clip on TikTok with the text, “Me finding out about the apparent mom group drama,” which showed her sitting at a desk while her song, Still Don’t Care played in the background.
Trainor concluded her shady response with three tea emojis in the caption.
The Made You Look hitmaker is not the only alleged mom involved in the mom group drama, but Mandy Moore and Hilary Duff are also among Tisdale’s former friends, whom she recently unfollowed.
Bruno Mars has officially kicked off his romantic era, leaving fans guessing if he is hinting at a new possible romance.
In the early hours of Friday, January 9, the 16-time Grammy Award winner sent his fans into a frenzy by dropping his first solo single, I Just Might, in over a decade.
In the lead single of his upcoming album, The Romantic, the 40-year-old seemingly serenaded about a new love.
The lyrics of the newly-released track center on him seeing a captivating woman in a club and the possibility of a new romance.
In the chorus, he sings, “Hey, Mr. DJ, play a song for this pretty little lady. ‘Cause if she dance as good as she look right now, I just might, I just might make her my baby”.
So, does Bruno have a new love in his life? There were rumors in the past year that he had split from longtime girlfriend Jessica Caban after more than a decade together, but that was never confirmed.
While neither he nor his long-time girlfriend Jessica Caban has officially confirmed their current relationship status, the lyrical content of “I Just Might” has fueled speculation among fans that he might be single and exploring a new relationship.
Bruno Mars’ The Romantic Tour dates:
The forthcoming fourth solo album is set for release on February 27, 2026, giving fans a full access into the romantic theme of his new music era.
Following the album release a world tour has already been announced, which will be performed in stadiums.
While Bruno has released hit collabs like “Die With a Smile” with Lady Gaga and “APT” with Blackpink star Rose in recent years, this marks his return to solo music.
