Beyoncé Covers Marie Claire Australia, Talks Marriage & Motherhood [Photo]

Beyoncé looks great on the cover of the latest issue of Marie Claire Australia.

In the mag, she talks Blue Ivy and of course her marriage to Jay Z.

In the past, Beyoncé has been guarded about details of her personal life, but motherhood appears to be a subject too powerful for her to completely hold in.

“I felt very maternal around eight months,” she remembers. “And I thought I couldn’t become any more until I saw the baby…But it happened during my labor because I had a very strong connection with my child. I felt like when I was having contractions, I envisioned my child pushing through a very heavydoor. And I imagined this tiny infant doing all the work, so I couldn’t think about my own pain…We were talking. I know it sounds crazy, but I felt a communication.”
