Beyonce and Jay-Z have shared the first pictures of their one-month-old daughter Blue Ivy Carter with fans on Tumblr.
Shunning magazine deals, the proud parents posted several images of the infant, including shots of her cuddling up to mummy and daddy.
Until now the couple have remained tight-lipped about their daughter.
Beyonce and Jay-Z's delight in their new roles is obvious in the intimate snaps, with Beyonce beaming at the camera in one shot and another pic showing her holding her daughter's tiny fingers.
In one shot, the youngster is seen cosied up in a blanket, her mass of dark hair visible, while another shows her staring straight at the camera, suggesting she may follow in her parents' showbiz footsteps.
In a post at the top of the blog, Beyonce and Jay-Z wrote: 'We welcome you to share in our joy. Thank you for respecting our privacy during this beautiful time in our lives. The Carter Family.'
Blue Ivy was born last month and Beyonce is relishing the role of yummy mummy. After several weeks lying low she has been spotted out and about looking glam in a series of stunning dresses over the past week, showing she has already got her enviable figure back.
