Happy birthday, love Mom,' while mother-in-law Gloria Carter (mother of Jay-Z) wrote: 'B, You came into my life a sweet Southern girl. (LOL) You've blossomed into an amazing woman. I admire how you remain grounded and humble, and you haven't let success change the person that you are. Mama Carter.'

The singer also shared birthday greetings from her sister Solange and ex-Destiny's Child bandmate, Michelle Williams on her website, Beyonce.com, as well as video messages from fans.

Beyonce spent her birthday on a cruise around the Mediterranean with daughter Blue Ivy, seven months, and husband Jay-Z.

We hope you had a great birthday, Bey!
