Beyonce, Jay-Z

After the media was frenzied over rumors about his much anticipated wedding with Beyonce, Jay-Z preferred to keep silent again about the matter, during his concert in North Carolina on Saturday.

But Mary J. Blige, who was also performing on the “Heart of the City” tour, couldn’t refrain from confirming something important had happened in the life of the rapper and his longtime girlfriend Beyonce, People magazine reports.

According to People, before starting to sing “You’re All I Need,” Blige shouted out loud: "Congratulations to my man, Jay-Z, and my girl B!”

Jay-Z did not comment on Blige’s words and referred to Beyonce only once during the concert, but not regarding the wedding episode.

A close friend of the couple told People that the two had married in a private ceremony, but neither Jay-Z nor his girlfriend confirmed the rumors.

The rumors about a possible wedding started after the couple, who have been together for six years, took out a wedding license valid for 60 days, in Scarsdale Village, New York.

Since then, the media was sent into frenzy, with lots of photographers and reporters gathering near Jay-Z’s penthouse in the Tribeca area of New York, where a white tent was erected on the roof in the day of the supposed wedding.

The couple apparently followed their intimate ceremony with a big party where many famous guests were invited. Former members of Destiny’s Child, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, were present, and friend Gwyneth Paltrow also showed up, accompanied by her husband, Coldplay singer Chris Martin.

Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z have been a discreet couple since they got together in 2002. Perhaps they would not even have made their romance public, had it not been for their collaborations on Jay-Z’s song “’03 Bonnie & Clyde” and Beyoncé’s solo hit “Crazy in Love,” in 2003, which sparked rumors that their partnership was not solely musical.
