Fans of Beyonce, Jay-Z and their children were delighted when a family photo of the Carters emerged online showing the kids growing up fast.

Parents Bey, 39, and Jay, 51, looked proud as punch as they posed with nine-year-old daughter Blue Ivy and three-year-old twins Rumi and Sir.

The snap – captured by Beyonce ’s long-time hairstylist, Neal Farinah – showed Beyonce looking effortlessly chic in a black outfit, shades, and open toed heels, while Jay flashed a beaming smile as he posed in a jacket, top, jeans and white trainers.

Fans were stunned to see eldest daughter Blue standing almost as tall as her A List music star mother – reaching Beyonce’s shoulder as she posed in a pair of boots.

While adorable twins Rumi and Sir – who turn four next month – looked very stylish in smart-casual outfits of their own.

The family photo was shared by The Shade Room’s Instagram account and quickly snapped up hundreds of thousands of likes.

While many commenting on the photo couldn’t believe how quickly the young family members were all growing up.

Marvelling at Blue’s height, one fan commented: “Yeah blue gone be taller than bey.”

While many others couldn’t believe how much rarely-seen twins Rumi and Sir had grown.

One gobsmacked fan commented: “wasn’t they just like 6 months”.

While another remarked how rarely seen the twins were, writing: “Haven’t seen Rumi & Sir since the newborn pic.”

Many others seemed to reflect on their own mortality as they noted how fast the Carter kids were growing up, with one writing: “time is flying.”

Last week, fans were delighted to see Blue Ivy taking part in an advertising photo shoot with Beyonce for the latest Icy Park campaign.

Beyonce’s mother, Tina, revealed that the inclusion of Blue in the photoshoot had not been planned.

Sharing footage on Instagram, the proud grandmother noted: “[Blue Ivy] inserted herself into this shoot. I love that aggressive spirit.”
