According to published reports, Mr. Sh.a.wn C.ar.ter and Ms. Be.yon.ce Kn.owles are set to marry today. These rumors have run rampant many times in the six years since they started dating. However, speculation is high that April 4th, will indeed be the day.
If they are tying the knot, I wish them much happiness. While I really could care less about most celebrity couples, I must admit….I like Jay and Bey. For one thing, they keep their relationship private. Yes, you see pictures of them on yachts, at basketball games, etc….but they don’t really share all of their intimate details in the press.
They also dated. Yes, dated. For six years. They got to know each other. They spent time with each other. That’s called courting. Go.ogle it sometime.
They would start this union child free. Yes there is speculation about Jay having a love child somewhere in my homeland….but he and Bey have not produced any lil baby Z’s since they’ve been together. That must be a record in the Hip-Hop arena.
They have both worked hard and built careers far beyond music. They are both bringing something to the table. They complement each other as far as entrepreneurship, drive and work ethic. Imagine what they will build together?
In short, if these two crazy kids want to get married….I am happy for them. Besides, Jay is ultimately a kid from Brooklyn, just like me. He has built an empire coming straight out of Marcy projects. He is one of my favorite rappers and an all around good guy.
Mazel Tov to the happy couple and uh…..my condolences to my friend on losing his woman.

I thought it was an April Fool’s Day joke when I first heard about it, but hey, they’ve been together forever so why not! If so, I wish them well.

You see that. Women always do you wrong and chase after the one with more money. I’m saying. I supported her. All she had to do was upgrade me……….

You okay over there Fresh? I’ll bring you some Haagen Dazs Party Cake Ice Cream, the new Roots CD and a new Wii game to make you feel better.

My sentiments exactly!
Nice to know that while she simply did the “biblical” thing and “cleaved” to her father (while the public mistook it for daddy and mommy running her and her group’s life), she will experience the uncleave and ultimately have this man take the part of caring for her in the same manner a father takes care of and protects his daughter. And I love the 12 year age difference.
Yep, she is blessed! My Virgo-an baby idol…

I really think that B just wants to finish building her business, finish touring the world and selling out hugh arenas before she sits down and has a bunch of little Jay’s. I think she’s working her plan. She’s 27 now? I’ll give her until about 30. Jay will be 41, 42 by then. They’ll both be ready to slow down a bit.

I agree with you also.
Always been a fan of J and B’s relationship, and I love the fact they courted for so long. I know they like to keep their relationship private, but if Jay can convince folks to get rid of their throw backs maybe he can impart some wisdom on the benefits of long-term dating.

Do you know how much I LOVE them? I’m talking SERIOUSLY. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THEM! I hope it’s true cause I can’t WAIT to see her dress. You KNOW Beyonce is gonna show ‘em how to do it! They are my absolute FAVORITE couple in Hollywood. Seriously. I mean…she comes across as SUCH a nice girl you know? She works hard…keeps her name outta ish and does what she needs to do. I.LOVE.BEYONCE. And whereas I’m not a fan of Jay Z’s music…I DEFINITELY respect his biz savvy.
I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ME SOME THEM!

When I heard, I was truly happy to hear this news! Yanno…I have really respected the way they kept their relationship and each other to themselves, and only let the world see that entertainment-pairing side, and I LOVE that. Bey seems like a sweet girl to me, and she can’t do any better than my ex-future husband baby daddy Jigga.
