When your family has a baby, your aunt calls your cousin. When the Carters have a baby, Russell Simmons tweets about it, or so says the Daily News:

Music mogul Russell Simmons also confirmed the arrival of the bundle of joy, tweeting “congrats to my good friends Beyonce and Jay-Z.”

Gwyneth Paltrow, a good friend of the music moguls, tweeted, "Welcome to the world Blue! We love you already."

Rihanna added her congratulations as well, writing "Welcome to the world princess Carter! Love Aunty Rih."
