  • 2011: Beyoncé announced her pregnancy. After first revealing her pregnancy on the red carpet at the 2011 VMAs, Beyoncé showed off her bump again during her performance of "Love on Top" when she dropped her mic and unbuttoned her jacket to rub her belly. Cameras then panned to Kanye West, who grabbed Jay Z in celebration.
  • 2012: Beyoncé and Jay Z became parents. In January, the pair welcomed daughter Blue Ivy into the world, and the following month, Beyoncé released multiple photos of the tiny tot on her website. A handwritten note posted to HelloBlueIvyCarter read, "We welcome you to share in our joy. Thank you for respecting our privacy during this beautiful time in our lives." The note is signed "The Carter Family." That same year, Beyoncé and Jay Z also renewed their vows.
