Jay-Z
& Beyonce Knowles are not Husband and Wife
1/19/08
Jay-Z and Beyonce Knowles have not married, despite the increasing
number of internet reports suggesting otherwise, a close pal has revealed.
Rapper Jay-Z - real name Shawn Carter - was said to have married the
R&B beauty in a secret ceremony at designer Giorgio Armani's mansion
in Paris, France, last month (Dec07).
Reports claimed the superstar couple opted to shun the traditional
exchange of wedding bands in favor of discreet tattoos of the Roman
numeral 'IV' on their ring fingers - with the claims backed up by photo
evidence of the small inkings.
Sources have also alleged Knowles is pregnant - but a member of Jay-Z's
entourage has dismissed both the claims, telling AllHipHop.com, "The
reports are not true."
This is not the first time representatives for the couple have been
forced to put an end to rumors of marriage - the last denial came in late
December (07), while rumors the Irreplaceable singer is expecting first
surfaced in October 2005. None of the claims have ever been proven.
