Tina
Knowles

knows
that


Beyoncé

was
born
to
be
a
protector
for
her
kids.

In
fact,
one
of
the
71-year-old’s
favorite
things
about
her
daughter—who
shares
daughter

Blue
Ivy,
13,
and
twins

Rumi

and

Sir,
7,
with
husband


Jay-Z—is
how
she
places
her
children
first
amid
her
busy
life
in
the
spotlight.

“They
are
always
her
first
priority,”
Tina
exclusively
told
E!
News


The
Rundown’s


Erin
Lim
Rhodes

at


Billboard’s
Women
in
Music
Awards
in
Los
Angeles
March
29,
“no
matter
what
else
is
going
on.”

Beyond
Beyoncé’s
ability
to
focus
on
her
kids,
Tina—who
shares
the



Cowboy
Carter

singer,
43,
and

Solange
Knowles,
38,
with
ex

Mathew
Knowles—is
adamant
about
shining
a
light
on
the
important
job
of
being
a
mom.

“Mothers
take
on
the
role
of
being
behind
the
scenes
and
doing
what
they
can
to
support,”
the
matriarch
continued
in
the
interview
airing
April
2.
“It’s
nice
to
be
recognized
for
that.”
