Despite having two megastar parents, Beyoncé insists her family maintain some level of normalcy. The “Texas Hold ‘Em” singer spoke toGQin October 2024 and shared that as she’s taken on new business ventures, she’s had to instill new boundaries and carve out time for her family.

“One thing I’ve worked extremely hard on is making sure my kids can have as much normalcy and privacy as possible, ensuring my personal life isn’t turned into a brand,” Beyoncé shared. “It’s very easy for celebrities to turn our lives into performance art.”
