Let's start with the facts: Beyoncé was born on September 4, 1981, making her 39 at the time of this writing. Solange was born on June 24, 1986, making her 34, and Blue Ivy Carter was born on January 7, 2012, rendering her eight. A conspiracy theory, reported by Metro, posits that we've been getting these very basic facts wrong the whole time.
Internet folks are saying that Beyoncé actually gave birth to Solange as a very young teenager and that Beyoncé's mother Tina Knowles claimed Solange as her daughter, either to protect Beyoncé from the stigma of being a teen mom or to help her career. This theory is seemingly supported by an alleged employee of the Texas Department of Health, who claims to have found Beyoncé's "real" birth certificate, which is dated 1974 (and we'll just have to take her word for it). A former Columbia Records employee also claimed that there is a 14-year age gap between Beyoncé and Solange, a claim backed up by absolutely no concrete evidence.
Interestingly enough, Solange actually did have a child as a teenager, welcoming her son Julez when she was 18. If, and that's a big if, this theory were true, it would mean that Beyoncé is not only a grandmother, but that Blue Ivy is an aunt and nearly a decade younger than her nephew. Of course, there are still people who believe Blue Ivy isn't Beyoncé's daughter at all, so we're just going to have to live with some mystery.
