While some celebrity couples like to keep their affirs under the wraps, others are completely public; nonetheless, celebrity relationships are never entirely private. Can you imagine a world without celebrity gossip?
Over the years there's a lot we have ignored concerning the "power couple", Beyonce and Jay Z, Read on to learn some strange tidbits about the married music legends.
Their Lyrics Are Full Of Their Personal Stuff
We can probably dedicate an entire listicle to the problems that these two have hinted at in their lyrics. We could probably even do close readings of the lyrics and discover everything about their romance.
Well, in 2016, Bey stirred the pot with her visual album "Lemonade" - she dropped a bomb with that one! The album made fans of the "power couple" go bonkers because it triggered a lot of bad press. Why? Because the lyrics made fans question the status of their marriage; don't forget, there was another woman named Becky who was mentioned by Queen B.
Jay-Z came back with his apology tour, and evidently, we learnt that the two were going through tough times. Whatever we don't hear in the press comes up in their lyrics.
They Didn't Tell Family They Were Expecting Their Second Child
Besides addressing her relationship with her hubby in her "Lemonade" album, Bey also made her relationship with her father, Mathew Knowles, very clear.
Everyone has ups and downs in life, and we understand if the two Hollywood stars want to keep some things private from the public, but why from your blood family, too? No, we can't digest it (that's just us stating our opinion).
Mr. Knowles is clearly not in the loop of things, as Bey did not contact her father to share with him the incredible and joyful news that she was pregnant for the second time. It is a pity that her father had to find out about it when she announced it to the world on social media. It's quite odd, but there had to be a reason.
The Duo Broke Up Many Times Before The Wedding
Beyonce and Jay-Z have the kind of relationship that most people dream about. Their lovey-dovey romance started when they were super young, and that makes our hearts melt. However, no relationship is perfect, even though they have been devoted to one another for years.
Before coming out publicly with their relationship, they dated for four years secretly, as we previously mentioned. However, during that time, the pair were not stable; in fact, the pair broke up briefly more than once. We hear Ross from Friends screaming "we were on a break!" from here.
In Jay-Z's 2006 jam "Lost Ones," the musician made it evident that the two had split by mentioning the breakup.
Their Wedding Was Far From Traditional
It's no secret that the duo's nuptials flew under the radar! It is hard to even judge what fully went down on the night Queen Bey walked down the aisle because of the lack of photos.
Let us start you off with a few things you may not know. You may find this odd, considering they're both huge celebrities, but the pair had a star-studded wedding with ONLY 40 guests.
Secondly, guests were forbidden to bring in their phones because they did not want anyone recording their very emotional and spiritual ceremony. Also, totally non-traditional of them, Jay had no best man and Bey had no maid of honour. And to top it off, Bey's dress was not made by a posh designer, but her mama.
Beyonce And Jay Started Their Relationship On The Phone
We know Beyonce as Sasha Fierce, but has she always been that way? Bey was actually quite the shy chick way back when.
This one is pretty uh-dorable, but before the two started dating, they kept each other company by constantly chatting on the phone. In a world where there was no Snapchat or social media, people actually used phones to talk to one another.
They began officially dating when Bey was a youngin, at 19 years old, but before, according to People, Jay-Z claimed, "We were on the phone for a year and a half, and that foundation is so important for a relationship."
Ladies, imagine that? He did not even take her on a date until after so long!
They Just Left The Elevator Incident In Thin Air
The two lovebirds have a habit of leaving us hanging!
In 2014, after the hip-hop duo became a little bit more open to the public about their romance, an incident occurred that made things take a turn for the worse.
During the ever-so-public Met Gala in New York, that we anticipate each year, Bey's sister Solange and Jay-Z got into a quarrel.
As usual, the couple just shrugged off the incident, but what happened was too much to ignore. A video that captured Solange arguing with Jay-Z in the elevator was leaked, and there was no denying it at that point for both parties. But what did Bey and Jay-Z do? They completely dismissed the crucial issue. Bey hinted at it in her lyrics though, of course.
They Tried To Patent Their Daughter's Name
Anything to make money, right? Beyonce and Jay-Z have the world in the palm of their hand, but that doesn't stop them.
Their dedication to doing whatever it takes to make some dough is undeniable, and even having Blue Ivy did not stop them. According to Nicki Swift, after the precious Blue Ivy was born in January 2012, Jay-Z wanted to immediately trademark his daughter's name. We guess Bey agreed since Jay-Z made the application, which was later denied.
Seriously, there should be restrictions on some things in life. Did they have to go that far? We're glad the courts drew a line.
Their Wedding Itself Was A Secret
These two kept their relationship on the low. According to Essence, Beyonce said in 2005 that she never talks about relationships and keeps that for her music. She also stated, "You fall in love and you want to tell everybody. But that's a place I just don't go."
We know what they have must be real because the couple has emphasized it many times. All these years later though, and we barely even know what is up with the couple's twins. If they're so famous and loved, how have they managed to not let a word slip?
Way back in 2008 on April 4th, Jay Z and Beyonce tied the knot in a super-secret wedding ceremony. Although they've kept many secrets to themselves, their lows were well-documented.
While they may be "Crazy in Love," the couple had not even announced they were engaged! Like how the heck did the Knowles-Carter dynasty keep that on the DL? The marriage was so absurdly secret that the word only spread when they were spotted picking up their marriage license. And Queen B announced the wedding to the world six months later.
The Number 4 Is Their Thing
Does the number four mean anything to you? Probably not. For Jay and Bey though, the number four has a whole lot of meaning.
For starters, both Beyonce and Jay-Z are born on the fourth of their respective months; Beyonce is born in September and Jay-Z is born in December. Call it serendipity, but these two truly abide by the number four. They even had their secret lavish wedding on the fourth - on April 4th.
And if you're a fanatical fan of the duo, you may know that they each got tattoos of the Roman numeral four. Also, their daughter Ivy is attached to the number four, as her name is pronounced like the Roman numeral four, IV.
Jay-Z Took His Wifey's Last Name
The couple must be truly crazy in love since Jay wanted to take on his wife's last name! Although many thought the two were on their way to Splitsville, taking your spouse's last name is a pretty serious token of love; Beyonce evidently answers to the name Beyonce Knowles-Carter. Did Jay take on the name to keep the Knowles name going since Bey has no brothers?
Whether he did it for that or love, The Daily Star claimed that Jay Z changed his legal name to Shawn Knowles-Carter. We're totally digging the name, although we're still waiting for Jay to refer to himself that way.
They Kept Their Meeting On The DL
You may love the duo and go bonkers when you see them hand-in-hand together, but do you know how their romance ignited? No? Neither do we.
The two have always been laid-back and quite low-key, so they kept their relationship hush-hush for quite some time. Actually, so much time that they don't even recall when their secret relationship began, according to Nicki Swift.
How odd is that? If they're so into each other, you would think at least one of them would remember when they labelled it and made it official. Evidently, putting together a timeline of the beginning of their history would be nearly impossible.
Beyonce's Miscarriage
Most people do not know this, but before the lovable Blue Ivy came along, Beyonce went through a miscarriage. And did we know of the sad news when it initially happened? No.
Beyonce only opened up about the most tumultuous time of her life in her HBO documentary Life Is But A Dream, which only came out years after the hurtful experience. But before that though, Jay came forward with the news in his song "Glory," in which he drew attention to Bey's miscarriage.
