Beyoncé will always be the ultimate protector in her role as a mom.
In fact, as the 32-time Grammy winner—who shares daughter Blue, 12, and twins Rumi and Sir, 7, with husband Jay-Z recently shared—she’s remaining steadfast on keeping her kids as grounded as possible.
“One thing I’ve worked extremely hard on is making sure my kids can have as much normalcy and privacy as possible,” she told GQ in an article published Sept. 10, “ensuring my personal life isn’t turned into a brand. It’s very easy for celebrities to turn our lives into performance art.”
As she noted, “I have made an extreme effort to stay true to my boundaries and protect myself and my family. No amount of money is worth my peace.”
And as for how the “Protector” singer manages to strike the balance between keeping the peace and maintaining her career?
“I build my work schedule around my family,” she explained. “I try to only tour when my kids are out of school. I always dreamt of a life where I could see the world with my family and expose them to different languages, architecture, and lifestyles.”
