After dating for nearly eight years, music power couple Jay-Z and Beyoncé shocked everyone when they got married at a top-secret ceremony in 2008. As Bey told Oprah in a 2013 interview, their long-time friendship provided a solid base for their marriage.
“We were friends first for a year and a half before we went on any dates. We were on the phone for a year and a half, and that foundation is so important for a relationship. Just to have someone who you just like is so important, and someone [who] is honest,” she said.
The entertainers/entrepreneurs are parents to three children, Blue Ivy and twins Rumi and Sir.
