Beyoncé’s mom Tina Knowles exclusively told E! News’ The Rundown her favorite part of seeing the Cowboy Carter singer being a mom to her kids.

Tina Knowles knows that Beyoncé was born to be a protector for her kids.

In fact, one of the 71-year-old’s favorite things about her daughter—who shares daughter Blue Ivy, 13, and twins Rumi and Sir, 7, with husband Jay-Z—is how she places her children first amid her busy life in the spotlight.

“They are always her first priority,” Tina exclusively told E! News The Rundown’s Erin Lim Rhodes at Billboard’s Women in Music Awards in Los Angeles March 29, “no matter what else is going on.”

Beyond Beyoncé’s ability to focus on her kids, Tina—who shares the Cowboy Carter singer, 43, and Solange Knowles, 38, with ex Mathew Knowles—is adamant about shining a light on the important job of being a mom.

“Mothers take on the role of being behind the scenes and doing what they can to support,” the matriarch continued in the interview airing April 2. “It’s nice to be recognized for that.” 

She added of motherhood, “It never ends, which is the best part. I’m still a mom. I’m 71 years old, and my kids are grown, but they still call me first and it’s the best feeling in the world.”

As for the advice Tina has for moms looking to be the best support system for their little ones? She encouraged others to really see their kids.

“If you have more than one kid, acknowledge the differences and celebrate them,” she shared. “When you have more than one kid, sometimes people lump them in, but you have to look at them individually.” 

Now in her role as grandmother to Solange’s and Beyoncé’s kids, Tina still makes it a point to notice her family member’s uniqueness, including that of her granddaughter Blue Ivy. 

“She’s always creating something and working with her hands and her mind,” Tina told E! News earlier this month. “She’s pretty amazing.”

She added, “All of my grandchildren, all of them are amazing.”
