Child Stars Who Had Babies When They Were Just Kids

While nearly everyone knows Beyoncé's backstory about being fierce basically since birth, what many people may not realize is that Bey's little sis Solange was always performing too, including her first onscreen debut when she was only 12 years old. What most people do tend to know about Knowles' past, though, is that she had son Julez when she was 18.

At the time of Julez' birth in October 2004, Knowles had just married Daniel Smith and chose to stay in small-town Idaho. "I yearned to be in one place, to have the opportunity to really ground myself with him," she told Elle in 2017. "But it was isolating and lonely, and so cold and dark. And it was just Julez and me most of the time. It was hard to imagine being able to progress in my career in any way."

In a 2017 interview with her big sis, Knowles revealed that she ultimately had to determine her identity outside of Smith, who had been her junior high school sweetheart. Now a critically acclaimed musician and producer, Knowles is married to video director Alan Ferguson.
