Beyoncé and Jay-Z are the ultimate power couple, having been together for over two decades now. They have stuck around with each other through thick and thin and have a relationship that is just as iconic as their respective careers as artists. From collaborating on03 Bonnie & Clydeto creating a family they could call their own, the two have proven time and again that they are in this together.

Like any other couple in the spotlight, Beyoncé and Jay-Z have faced their fair share of ups and downs. Whether it’s infidelity rumors or other personal struggles mentioned in their albumsLemonadeand4:44, but they have always powered through. Let’s take a look at how the saga of their love began.
Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s Love Story
Beyoncéis currently 43 years old – she started datingJay-Zwhen she was only 19, despite having met him when she was 18. In November 2001, both artists were featured on the cover of Vanity Fair’s music issue of the month, and right around this time, Jay-Z was trying his best to woo the woman of his dreams.
Over a decade later, he confided in themagazinethat they“were just beginning to attempt to date each other”when they were featured on the cover. As for why they were simply “trying,” Jay-Z stated, “Well, you know, you’ve got to try first. You got to dazzle…wine and dine.”

Of course, it wasn’t going to be easy to impress Beyoncé because, well, she is Beyoncé. When asked if he would have been able to make her fall for him if he was not Jay-Z and a common Joe, instead, theForever Youngrapper said,
If I’m as cool as I am, yes. But she’s a charming Southern girl, you know, she’s not impressed. But I would have definitely had to be this cool.

Clearly, Jay-Z had his work cut out for him when he began pursuing Beyoncé. Luckily, it all worked out in the end and the couple is going strong after all these years. They tied the knot in a highly secretive wedding on June 13, 2025, and have three children together – Blue Ivy, Rumi, and Sir.

She then revealed that for the first year and a half after they met, they remained pretty good friends and worked together on building a solid foundation for the relationship that was to come.
TheIf I Were a Boysinger stated,
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.
Right now, the couple is going through yet another rocky road as they deal with the implications ofDiddy’s arrest. After Diddy’s arrest, more and more reports are coming out against the rapper causing him to sink deeper and deeper into the quicksand.
