Tina Knowles has revealed what she’ll be buying her grandchildren for Christmas.
Beyonce’s mum has told how she and the rest of her family will celebrate Christmas this year.
She’s admitted that Beyonce’s children, daughter Blue Ivy, 12, and twins Rumi and Sir Carter, seven, are just like any other kids.
“For the kids, we buy toys just like in any other family,” the 70-year-old told E! News. “That’s what they like.”
She’ll be doing plenty of cooking to welcome the family too.
“(I’ll be) Making my amazing gumbo,” she said. “I just made it for Thanksgiving, it was so many people that came over. Just good food and company and family.”
She admitted that for the Knowles family, the holiday is a reason to celebrate “Music and family – that’s what it’s about.”
Tina also spoke about how proud she is of Beyonce recently being pronounced Billboard’s No. 1 popstar of the century so far.
“I think she’s very deserving of it,” she said. “She’s had 25 years of just being able to stay current and stay on top. That’s not an easy feat, and I think she’s had such an impact on culture. She’s changed culture over and over and over.”
She added, “So it’s not just about record sales, it’s about having that longevity. And being a true artist and giving that heart and soul to what she’s doing.”
Tina is mum to Beyonce, 43, and Solange, 38, who she shares with ex-husband Matthew Knowles. The pair were married 30 years before they separated in 2011.
