"I feel more beautiful than I've ever felt because I've given birth," Beyonce, who welcomed her first child, daughter Blue Ivy, with husband Jay-Z in January, says in an exclusive interview with the magazine. "I have never felt so connected, never felt like I had such a purpose on this earth."

Beyonce is so head-over-heels in love with her little girl that she even claims to "love" changing Blue's diapers. She also sings original songs to her little star. "She's just the cutest thing," the 30-year-old gushes. "The word 'love' means something completely different now."

This is the ninth time Beyonce has made the magazine's Most Beautiful People list, but her first time on the cover of the special issue.
