BEYONCE is getting candid about being a working mom, body confidence and dealing with pregnancy rumors.
The 38-year-old mom of three, out with a new Adidas collaboration next month, said in the cover story she has really come to hate speculation about having more children.
Beyoncé said: “Get off my ovaries!”
Otherwise when it comes to pop icon’s famous body, she said she is more confident now than ever.
She said: “Giving zero f—s is the most liberating place to be.”
Beyoncé admitted: “If someone told me 15 years ago that my body would go through so many changes and fluctuations, and that I would feel more womanly and secure with my curves, I would not have believed them.
“But children and maturity have taught me to value myself beyond my physical appearance and really understand that I am more than enough no matter what stage I’m at in life.”
Giving zero f—s is the most liberating place to be.

Beyoncé and husband JAY-Z have been married for 11 years and have a seven-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy, and two-year-old twins, Rumi and Sir, together.
She says she’s no different than any other working mom, dealing with the pressure of juggling a career and her family.
Beyoncé admitted: “I think the most stressful thing for me is balancing work and life.
She went on: “Making sure I am present for my kids—dropping Blue off at school, taking Rumi and Sir to their activities, making time for date nights with my husband, and being home in time to have dinner with my family.”
These new outlooks have helped to change how she defines success.
The Lemonade and Homecoming star acknowledged: “Success looks different to me now. Having miscarriages taught me that I had to mother myself before I could be a mother to someone else.
She went on: “Then I had Blue, and the quest for my purpose became so much deeper. I died and was reborn in my relationship, and the quest for self became even stronger.”
Throughout the spread, Beyoncé appeared in her new gender-neutral IVY PARK x adidas fashion line, which comes out January 18th.
In one shot, the fashionista poses in a cream Adidas sweatshirt and billowing orange skirt in a supermarket soda aisle.
She relayed the last time she was in a supermarket was with husband before a Madonna concert in Los Angeles.
Beyoncé said: “Jay and I snuck into one in Crenshaw and bought some Cuervo and Funyuns chips.
“And…y’all know you see me at Target and I see y’all trying to sneak pics.”
The January issue of ELLE UK is on sale December 12, 2019.
