Beyoncé shares rare photos of twins Rumi and Sir from India trip

Beyoncé has given fans a rare glimpse into family life, posting heart-warming photos of her 18-month-old twins Rumi and Sir Carter on her official website.

The singer shared new photos of her recent trip to South Asia last night on beyonce.com, including two images in which her young twins appeared.

In one picture, the 37-year-old is seen laughing as she holds her youngest daughter in her arms, while Rumi appears distracted by a purple shell.

In another, the twins sit in the ocean at dusk, both dressed in white as they splash in the shallows.

Beyoncé, who travelled to India earlier this month to sing at the wedding of Isha Ambani and Anand Piramal, also treated fans to behind-the-scenes photos taken before her performance, in which she wears a dramatic red and gold gown designed by Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla.

Since announcing their birth last year with a memorable Instagram post, in which the singer posed with her newborn babies in front of a colourful floral arch, Beyoncé has largely chosen to keep the twins out of the spotlight.

Fans last got a glimpse at Rumi and Sir back in August, when they briefly appeared alongside older sister Blue Ivy in a behind-the-scenes video of their mother’s US Vogue photo shoot.

The star posted another photo of the then-one-year-olds in July, which showed them sitting on her lap during a family holiday to Europe.
