Though her daddy’s got 99 problems, Blue Ivy’s led a charmed life so far.

And as if the newborn daughter of Beyonce and Jay-Z didn't have enough going for her come Christmas time, word has it that she's about to get a golden godmother: talk show icon Oprah Winfrey.

Mediatakeout.com reports the A-list couple have chosen the legendary media figure as Blue's godmother, as they've grown close to her.

Jay-Z’s pal, Tyran “Ty Ty” Smith, is Blue's godfather, the website reports, noting the power couple wanted to make sure their godparents weren't blood-related.

The 30-year-old Dreamgirls stunner -- checked in under the name “Ingrid Jackson” -- delivered the child via Cesarean section earlier this month at Manhattan's Lenox Hill Hospital, where she and the hubby doled out $1.3 million for use of the facility's fourth floor.
