Jay-Z and beyonce
Beyonce suffered a heartbreaking miscarriage before falling pregnant with her daughter, according to her husband Jay-Z.
The rapper made the revelation in a new song Glory which he posted on his social website Life and Times yesterday.
The tune is a tribute to the couple's new baby, Blue Ivy Carter, who was born in New York late Saturday night.
In the song, Jay-Z, 42, talks about where the child was conceived (in Paris) and even reveals that Beyonce, 30, had lost a child at one point.
'Last time the miscarriage was so tragic/We was afraid you'd disappear/But nah baby you magic.'
The sound of crying Blue Ivy can be heard at the end of the song.
The track was produced by Pharrell and credits the new arrival as 'B.I.C.'
Other moving lyrics include: 'The most amazing feeling I feel, words
can't describe what I'm feeling for real / Baby, I paint the sky blue,
my greatest creation was you.
'You're the child of destiny / you're the child of my destiny / you're my child with the child from Destiny's Child.'
Early reports claimed the singer gave birth via C-section, but the couple now says otherwise.
The released a joint statement today, saying Blue 'was delivered
naturally at a healthy 7 lbs and it was the best experience of both of
our lives.'
The couple adds, "Her birth was emotional and extremely peaceful, we
are in heaven. We are thankful to everyone for all your prayers, well
wishes, love and support.'
It's the first child for the power couple, who wed in 2008 in a private ceremony after a years-long courtship.
Beyonce announced her pregnancy to the world last August at the MTV Video Music Awards with a simple rub of her swollen belly.
Celebs close to the couple have tweeted congrats. Beyonce's sister,
Solange Knowles, tweeted Sunday morning: 'The most beautiful girl in the
world,' while Beyonce's close friend Gwyneth Paltrow also tweeted:
'Welcome to the world Blue! We love you already.'
Meanwhile, it has emerged that the A-list couple have infuriated other
new parents by enforcing a lockdown at the hospital where they had their
first child together.
The pop superstars reportedly spent a staggering $1.3 million for
pricey renovations to an exclusive recovery area at one of Manhattan's
swankiest hospitals - including a bulletproof door to her room.
They also have their own private security force working an area alongside hospital security already at Lenox Hill Hospital.
But other parents have bitterly complained that the intense measures
have not just given privacy to the superstars and their baby - but made
other new parents miss out on precious moments with their own newborns.
Fuming parents said they were essentially put on 'lockdown' so that the
pampered songstress and her party could come and go as they pleased.
'They just used the hospital like it was their own and nobody else
mattered,' blasted new dad Neil Coulon, who said his efforts to see his
premature, newborn twins in the neonatal ICU were disrupted at least
four times by the arrival of Beyonce and her crew.
Coulon - who is from Jay-Z's native Bedford-Stuyvesant in Brooklyn -
said some of his relatives drove 4 1/2 hours to see his girls, only to
be shunted aside for Beyonce.
'They locked us into the NICU and would say, "You can't come out to the
hallway for the next 20 minutes." When I finally was able to go back
out, I went to the waiting room and they'd ushered my family downstairs!
'These are parents who are going through very stressful times,'' the
39-year-old contractor said of NICU parents. 'To have that circus roll
into town, having to deal with all this drama because someone is a
superstar, isn't fair.'
He added: 'These are children with problems in intensive care and
you're just going to take over the hospital like you own it? All I want
is an apology.
'This is the NICU. Nobody cares if you're a celebrity. Nobody is star-gazing. They just want to see their children.
'To have that circus roll into town and ruin our parade was unpleasant.'
Beyonce and Jay-Z have spent already spent the past two months
supervising pricey renovations to Beyonce's mammoth, fourth-floor
recovery digs - including the installation of a bulletproof door to her
room, a hospital worker told The New York Post.
The windows in her reserved wing on that floor were darkened with what
appeared to be special curtains or tape to prevent anyone looking in.
'Her room is bulletproof. It's custom-made,' a staffer said, noting
that the couple sent in a security team 'a couple of months ago' to
evaluate the accommodations.
'They came in and reconstructed it. It's completely different,'' said the employee.
But the real drama surrounding Blue Ivy's long-awaited arrival began
Friday night, when Beyonce checked in under the name Ingrid Jackson and
settled into her sixth-floor delivery suite to have the baby.
Windows in the NICU down the hall were blacked out with tape and
temporary curtains so that nobody could see the comings and goings of
the VIPs at the other end of the hallway.
Beyonce has 'her own security, and hospital security,' a Lenox Hill employee noted.
By last night, Blue Ivy and her mom had been moved back down to their
special pad on the fourth floor, where the Grammy-winning new mom and
rapper dad showed her off to friends, the employee said
