If you believe their fans, Beyonce and Jay Z are about to kill real love.
Rumour has it that Beyonce and Jay Z will get divorced when they finish their Mr and Mrs Carter world tour. They’re travelling with relationship counsellors, and they’ve both been seen without rings. Cheating and beating rumours have been around a long time, but this time it’s different. This time it’s louder. There’s momentum.
With so many fans chanting, “Don’t do it, Beyonce!” you may not be able to hear what I’m going to say next. It may surprise you. It might actually make you angry.
Because while millions of people want the Mr & Mrs Carter fairytale to endure, I’m yelling, “Run, Beyonce. Run! Get out, get out, get out.”
Judging by the emotional tweets of their fans, perhaps it’s just me and Solange Knowles who think Beyonce would be better off without Jay Z. The consensus out there seems to be that if Bey and Jay can’t make it, nobody can. Romance is dead, love is over, all hope is gone, etc.
See:
But before we mourn the possible end of Bey and Jay, let’s get real about their relationship. Their public romance has been painstakingly manufactured, but not even Bey’s publicist can make rumours of infidelity, dysfunction, and aggression disappear completely.
We’re talking about one of the most powerful couples in the world. They’re friends with the Obamas, they make more than $63 million a year, and they can dominate the international news cycle for six days with one well-timed elevator fight that wasn’t even directly between them.

MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS
It amazes me that everyone gets so caught up in the private lives of people just because they are famous. What they do on stage, or in movies is a JOB. It should not mean that we need to know the ins and outs of everything they do....or even get to judge them on it. We have no idea what goes on behind closed doors, everything is speculation and really it is no business of ours anyway. These 'icons' eat, sleep, bum around in daggy clothes, and go to the toilet just like the rest of us. They probably argue, cry, laugh and get scared at things just like us all.....yes they are HUMAN....NOT Gods. Why should I be sad if they divorce or stay together? Either way it has no bearing on my day to day life. I would be more upset if it was reported that something bad had happened to them personally, not because of a personal life decision that they make.
