Beyonce and Jay-Z welcomed their first child on Saturday night called Ivy Blue Carter.Beyonce gave birth at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York via C-Section and is reported to be doing fine.
The couple’s closest friends broke the news before any actual media outlets did — via Twitter! Jay-Z’s protege and good pal Rihanna tweeted, “Welcome to the world princess Carter! Love Aunty Rih.” Russell Simmons was almost among the first to announce the good news, writing “congrats to my good friends Beyonce and Jay-Z.”
The couple rented out the entire fourth floor of Lenox Hill Hospital, on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, for the birth — paying $1.3 million, the New York Daily News reported.
The newspaper said a hospital staffer had revealed Beyonce had checked in Friday night under the name “Ingrid Jackson.”
Hospital management reportedly put tape over security cameras and forced staff to hand in their cell phones in an effort to stop unauthorized photographs or footage of mother and baby being leaked.
Security guards were also reported to have been sighted outside the building, located off Park Avenue.
The name Ivy is thought to come from “IV” — the Roman numeral for four which is phonetically spelled out as “Ivy”. The number 4 is a common theme for the couple. They were secretly wed on April 4, 2008 (04/04/08), each has a birthday on the 4th (Beyonce on Sept. 4, Jay-Z on Dec .4). Beyonce’s fourth studio album was called 4. Blue is also reported to be Jay-Z’s favourite colour and has significance via his Blueprint trilogy of albums.
