A Couple We Can Believe In: Beyonce and Jay-Z
The Crazy in Love duo is hitting the seven-year milestone in 2009. Yes, they’ve been together since 2002 but have barely discussed their union. Beyonce has attributed their silence as a reason for the relationship’s longevity. Of course, them keeping stum about their pairing (something of an opposites attract scenario, or Beauty and the Beast tale as some envious male B fans would have it) has made us all the more interested. The two apparently met on the French Riviera in 2002 and between then and a couple of collabs (including Bonnie and Clyde), romance blossomed in private. Last year, the two became Mr. and Mrs. Carter during a hush-hush but celeb-packed nuptials in New York. No sign of offspring yet but for now the power couple is making Benjamins in abundance – Forbes mag named them Hollywood’s highest earning power couple in 2008.
WOW. really? Yeah, and gawker has some bit just this morning about jay-z flying out to pick up rhianna(sp?) and take her out for dinner and champagne so…
they said the same thing about nas and kelis- who were in a years-long relationship before being in a years-long engagement- and then getting divorced after a months-long marriage. the baby wasn’t even born yet when the ink was drying on the divorce papers. (literally- the baby was born last tuesday and the monetary issues of the settlement was being finalized by friday.)
jay-z and beyonce are nothing. after awhile, the brooklyn boy will get tired of the fake, southern diva, take his balls back, and probably go back to rihanna. or cristina milian.
I think they’ve done the wisest possible thing by keeping everything so private. I wish them well.
