Beyonce will be a great mother according to sister Solange Knowles, who says that she is already a "phenomenal" aunt to nephew Julez.

Bey is expecting her first child with husband Jay-Z and will reportedly slip into her new role naturally as she has had practice with Solange's seven-year-old son Julez. "My sister is a phenomenal aunt," Solange told Us Weekly. 

"I don't need any advice on how to be a great aunt. Because she has been a phenomenal aunt to my son, so she's set the tone as an aunt. I've set the tone as a mum, so we're learning from each other."

30-year-old Bey is rumoured to be expecting a baby girl who is due in February.
