Beyoncé might seem superhuman to the rest of the world, but to her kids, she's just mom. She officially took on the role of mom when she gave birth to her eldest, Blue Ivy, in 2012. For five years, Blue was an only child. Then, in June 2017, Bey welcomed twins, Sir and Rumi. Bey and her husband, rapper Jay-Z, now have a family of five. Although, the ultra-famous couple is also ultra-private, they have shared small glimpses into their lives as parents.
The "Otherside" singer revealed that she endured a terrifying health scare when she welcomed her twins and it made her reevaluate everything she thought about herself, motherhood, and her own body image. She shared how when she gave birth to Blue, she worked tirelessly to get her body back into shape because she succumbed to society's pressures. The second time around, she decided to be gentler to her body.

While Bey and her Bey-bies live quite luxurious lives, seeing her open up about some of the same family struggles we all deal with makes her a lot more relatable than the Sasha Fierce alter ego she portrays on stage. Not only has she broken many barriers and records in her career—she holds the record for most Grammys won by an artist—Bey is also making sure that she is a guiding force for her children.
She has made it a point to protect her kids' privacy through the years, but seeing her in matching mom and daughter outfits with Blue on Instagram, holding her twins, and making sure her Blue conducts herself with dignity at major events reminds us that no matter how put-together her life looks, she's a regular mom like the rest of us. Click through to see the many times Beyoncé reminded us that she was just like every other mom on the planet. Well, sort of.
