Many assumed that this was the couple’s way of showing new images of their twins to the world (Rumi and Sir were officially introduced to the public via [an epic Instagram](http://time.com/4842464/beyonce-jay-z-baby-names/) on their mother’s account one month after their birth.) Bey and Jay fans, however, should know that these babies, however, are apparently not to be confused with Rumi and Sir Carter. According to a comment from the singer’s rep to [_Buzzfeed_](https://www.buzzfeed.com/michaelblackmon/no-that-isnt-sir-and-rumi-carter-in-those-photos-of-beyonce?utm%5Fterm=.xs28d82DYL#.qfLkGkwl6X), the pair of babies that Beyoncé is holding are not the heirs apparent to the Knowles-Carter dynasty. Which, of course, begs the question – if these two aren’t Rumi and Sir Carter, then who are these babies? We’ll file that question behind the many other pressing inquiries we have for the Knowles-Carters, right after [“Who bit Beyoncé?”](http://time.com/5216849/who-bit-beyonce-face-internet-chrissy-teigen-search-for-actress/) and [“Who is Becky with the good hair?”](http://time.com/4307651/rachel-roy-becky-beyonce-lemonade/) See images of Beyoncé and Jay’s first night on tour below. > [](https://twitter.com/ThePopHub/status/1004448082396897280) Photo of Babies on Jay Z Beyonce Tour Is Not Twins Rumi, Sir ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5304506/rumi-sir-carter-beyonce-twins-photo-on-the-run-2-tour/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5304506/rumi-sir-carter-beyonce-twins-photo-on-the-run-2-tour/"},"headline":"Actually, Those Aren't Beyoncé's Twins in That 'OTR II' Tour Picture","datePublished":"2018-06-07T15:54:38.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:53:17.323Z","description":"Alert the Beyhive","url":"https://time.com/5304506/rumi-sir-carter-beyonce-twins-photo-on-the-run-2-tour/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt78755232af99bf44/6989328d4ee262595031208f/beyonce-twins-picture-on-the-run-tour.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt78755232af99bf44/6989328d4ee262595031208f/beyonce-twins-picture-on-the-run-tour.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Beyonce and Jay-Z \"On the Run II\" Tour Opener - Cardiff","caption":"Beyonce and Jay-Z \"On the Run II\" Tour Opener - Cardiff","creditText":"Kevin Mazur—Getty Images For Parkwood Entert","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5304506/rumi-sir-carter-beyonce-twins-photo-on-the-run-2-tour/","name":"Actually, Those Aren't Beyoncé's Twins in That 'OTR II' Tour Picture"}}]}] ```
