Solange Knowles, Beyonce’s younger sister and proud Auntie to one of Hollywood’s most anticipated new arrivals, is bursting with happiness at her bond she has with her niece, which she calls “magnetic.”  She gushes that she can’t even find words to describe the love she has for baby Blue Ivy Carter, and that “It’s really special to have a niece because I have a son, so I get to have a little girl too!”  She’s been looking forward to Blue’s arrival, and their bond, since she found out that her sister was expecting.

Solange is mom to 7-year-old son Julez, who has always been close with Auntie Beyonce, having accompanied Auntie to several A-list events, and Solange has noted that by setting the bar so high by being such an amazing Auntie to Julez, Beyonce has set the tone for a wonderful relationship with Blue Ivy.  Solange is clearly looking forward to spoiling little Blue, and lavishing praise on her.  Auntie Solange has said: “My sister’s baby, Blue, is so beautiful. She is really a beautiful little baby.”

Welcome to the Auntourage, Solange.  We’re tickled pink (and Blue) that you’re so honored to be an Auntie!
