Jay-Z’s unfaithfulness to Beyoncé has been a major part of their story. Over the years, there have been many rumors and accusations, and four women in particular were mentioned by name. Let’s find out who they are and the tough journey the singer and rapper have taken together as they went from power couple to power family.
Beyoncé and Jay-Z started dating back in 2002 and are still together to this day. They’ve always been private people and were good at keeping their relationship out of the spotlight, even though they’re incredibly famous.
They were together for six years before marrying on April 4th, 2008. Their wedding ceremony at the rapper’s Tribeca penthouse was kept private. Only close friends and family were in attendance, and a guest described the event as deeply moving and spiritual.

Despite this, Jay-Z didn’t want to tell anyone they had tied the knot. Three days after the wedding, he brushed off someone’s congratulations with a laugh, pretending he didn’t know what the person was talking about.
However, Beyoncé wore a huge diamond ring to Jay-Z’s show in Atlanta a few days after their secret wedding, which became one of the first public confirmations of their marriage. Eventually, the cat was out of the bag, and the couple’s deep connection was made evident through their music.

Unfortunately, as their fame and careers grew, controversies and scandals about their relationship emerged. Rumors about Jay-Z’s alleged infidelities, sometimes with other famous women, and his lifestyle, which included frequent partying, put a serious strain on their marriage.
