Jay-Z & Beyoncé

They are one of the world’s most famous husband-wife duos. Yet, Beyoncé and Jay-Z have managed to keep their private life private. They’re also the definition of a power couple. Their love has had its own ups and downs, but they’ve been together for almost two decades.

Although Beyoncé once said they met when she was 18 years old, nothing is known about their first meeting and early relationship. The couple chose to put their friendship to the test after more than a year of friendship and frequent phone calls. They sat next to one another on a plane in 2000 while attending MTV Spring Break, and Jay-Z later rapped about it in his 2018 song Everything Is Love. They are as close to American royalty as you can get. Their massive musical investments have cemented their status as some of the most talented musicians.
