Jay-Z and his daughters stepped out in style at Super Bowl LIX, but netizens quickly noticed someone missing from what was supposed to be a family outing.
Jay-Z arrived at Super Bowl LIX on February 9, 2025, at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans with his daughters, Blue Ivy and Rumi Carter. The 55-year-old rapper and his daughters wore matching black outfits as they entered the stadium.
Blue Ivy, 13, rocked a denim outfit, a leather jacket, and oversized sunglasses. Rumi, 7, sported a jacket with white stripes as she carried a small yellow handbag and wore a lanyard around her chest. Jay-Z kept it casual in a T-shirt, pants, beanie, and sunglasses.
Social media users quickly noticed the absence of Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s son, Sir Carter. One netizen asked, “What’s wrong with Sir?” Others defended the family’s privacy. “Some of y’all need to worry about your own family. You want to see their son so you can talk about him too?” one person wrote.
Another added, “It’s not family unless his son is with him. Why are they hiding the son?”
More online discussions centered around Sir’s absence, with some pointing out that Jay-Z never brings him to sporting events. Another questioned why he is rarely seen in public. A curious netizen asked, “Why is Sir always missing?! Where he be[sic]??” Someone else expressed the same sentiment, “Where is the boy. [sic]”
Some continued to speculate, noting that despite being Rumi’s twin, he is hardly photographed or seen attending outings with them. Meanwhile, others defended the family, recalling that Beyoncé had previously mentioned Sir dislikes large crowds, adding, “So there’s no need for her to expose him to yall [sic] nosey folks.”
Neither Beyoncé nor Jay-Z has addressed the speculation, leaving the reason for Sir’s absence unclear. However, Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles, shared insight into her grandchildren’s personalities in May 2024, which may explain why Sir is less visible than his sisters.
“Sir is very quiet,” Tina said, adding that her grandson “does all of the numbers stuff, so he’s not into fashion as much.”
Meanwhile, Tina described Rumi as a highly creative child with a passion for fashion and painting, while she praised Blue Ivy for her intelligence, calling her “very, very smart.”
Sir’s sisters have already made their mark in different ways. Rumi became the youngest female artist to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 with her feature on Beyoncé’s song “Protector” from the album “Cowboy Carter,” breaking the record previously held by Blue Ivy for “Brown Skin Girl” in 2019.
