Okay, let’s settle a debate that’s probably popped up in your group chat: How old are Rumi and Sir Carter? You know, Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s adorable, Grammy-attending, art-critic-in-training twins? Let’s break it down, because time flies when you’re busy being the most famous babies on the planet.
First, a quick recap for anyone living under a rock (or just really deep in a spreadsheet): Rumi and Sir were born on June 13, 2017. That makes them—drumroll, please—six years old as of this writing. Six! Which means they’re officially in the “I can argue about why my PB&J crust shouldn’t be cut” phase. Relatable.
Here’s where it gets frivolously fun: Rumi is the older twin by a minute. Yes, she’s the big sister who probably bossed Sir around from the delivery room. “Sir, stop hogging the spotlight—I’m named after the poet, thank you.” Meanwhile, Sir’s name is so regal it sounds like he should be signing treaties, not stealing snacks. At six, he’s likely perfecting his “I’m too cool for this” stare, while Rumi’s already curating her first museum exhibit (“Dadaism: A Masterclass in Throwing Spaghetti”).

Let’s not forget their age is a cultural milestone. They’ve attended the Grammys, been photographed in designer onesies, and inspired a thousand “twin goals” captions. But really, they’re just kids. Which is the sweetest punchline: no matter how much glitter and paparazzi surround them, at six, they’re still terrified of the dark and think broccoli is a crime against humanity. We’ve all been there.
So, whether you’re googling this for a trivia night or just because you love a good celebrity timeline, remember: Rumi and Sir are six. And they’re living their best, six-year-old lives—probably fighting over who gets the last juice box on the private jet. Here’s to growing up, one chaotic, beautifully weird year at a time. 🌟
