(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Beyonc Knowles will make a brilliant parent, according to her mother.

The singer has been married to hip-hop superstar Jay-Z since 2008 but the musical pair have no children yet.

Earlier this month the former Destinys Child star shrugged off rumours she is expecting a baby, calling the talk part of being a celebrity.

But her mom, Tina Knowles, thinks Beyonc is ready to enter the world of motherhood. According to Tina, the couple would embrace a youngster as they are optimistic.

I think theyll make great parents because theyre good people and really positive and talented, she told In Touch.

Beyonc has already experienced being around babies as her sister, Solange, gave birth to a son in 2004. Tina, 56, thinks this experience, along with their own attentive attitudes, will see her daughter and son-in-law fully prepared when the time comes for them to have kids.

They had a lot of practice with my grandson, their nephew. Theyve spent a lot of time with him, she explained. [Beyonc] is very caring and patient and loving, so I know shell be a great mom!" (C) Cover Media
