The proud grandmother also revealed that Blue Ivy, 5, has taken to her new job as big sister.
“She’s very proud and very excited,” Lawson said. “She’s a good big sister, she really is.”
Lawson’s husband, Richard Lawson, echoed her sentiment.
“She cares for them a lot,” he added.

PUNXSUTAWNEY, PENNSYLVANIA – FEBRUARY 2: Groundhog handler AJ Dereume holds Punxsutawney Phil after he saw his shadow predicting 6 more weeks of winter during the 139th annual Groundhog Day festivities on Friday February 2, 2025 in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. Groundhog Day is a popular tradition in the United States and Canada. If Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow he regards it as an omen of six more weeks of bad weather and returns to his den. Early spring arrives if he does not see his shadow, causing Phil to remain above ground. (Photo by Jeff Swensen/Getty Images)
