A friend close to rapper Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter and singer Beyoncé Knowles has confirmed to VIBE today that the couple officially married on April 4 in TriBeCa at the rap star’s apartment.
The source says it was a symbolic gesture connected to their birthdays. “Jay’s birthday is on December 4 and Beyoncé’s is September 4, so that played a huge part in the wedding happening that day,” the source said.
At a Greensboro, N.C., show on Saturday, April 5, Mary J. Blige gave the two a congratulatory shout-out. “Congratulations to my man Jay-Z,” Blige gushed. “And my girl B.”
The Daily News reported that Blige proceeded to perform her classic Method Man duet, “I'll Be There For You/You're All I Need To Get By,” which kept naysayers endlessly wondering: Are Jay and Beyoncé married?
Rumors about a possible wedding started with People.com claiming Jay and Beyoncé had filed for a marriage license last Tuesday.
“Jay wanted it to be a really private affair—close friends and family,” an anonymous source said about the wedding. People.com reported the couple took out a marriage license in Scarsdale, N.Y. The license is valid for 60 days.
Last week, the Daily News reported that Jay-Z met with Beyoncé’s younger sister Solange in Miami to discuss popping the big question, while Beyoncé was in New Jersey filming Cadillac Records, a movie about the legendary Chess Records. Sources say the mega-mogul star discussed breaking the news to Beyoncé’s dad/manager, Matthew Knowles.
Jay-Z, 38, and Beyoncé, 26, have long been silent about their six-year relationship. Even when prodded by Oprah during a 2003 episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show, Beyoncé kept mum.
No confirmation from Jay or Beyoncé reps has been released yet, but VIBE will keep you posted on this story as it develops.
