Celebrity Couple Beyonce and Jay-Z in Monaco

Newlywed Celebrity couple Beyonce and Jay-Z were spotted on Monday leaving their hotel in Monte Carlo, Monaco and to catch flight at Nice Airport. The couple’s every move is being watched as rumors says that Beyonce, who seems to adore the gigantic gold earrings, is expecting her and Jay-z’s first child.

Reports say that Jay-Z and Beyonce have also purchased their first house as a married couple in the same place in which they wed in last month

Newlyweds Beyonce and Jay-Z Buy Home

According to recent reports, Jay-Z and Beyonce have bought their first house as a married couple in the same place in which they wed in last month.

The newlyweds exchanged vows in a private ceremony at a chapel in Scarsdale Village in Westchester County on 4 April, before holding a reception at the rapper's luxury penthouse apartment in the TriBeCa area of New York City.

Beyonce confirms the “secret” wedding but doesn’t say a word about the possible pregnancy that might be what actually led to the sudden wedding ceremony last month in New York.

I don’t deny it (the wedding). I just don’t talk about it. We’ve never talked about us and it’s kind of protected our relationship. I think it’s kept us out of tabloid drama. A lot of actresses that have had successful relationships don’t talk about them, so neither do I.
- said Beyonce -

And the stars have now decided to call Scarsdale home, after purchasing a modern colonial property measuring 15,000 square-feet in the quiet community, according to website TMZ.com. (MT/WNWCZM/PAW)

Is Beyonce Knowles Pregnant?

R&B Celebrity Beyonce Knowles who married rapper Jay-Z in a secret ceremony last month is pregnant according to their friends who have confirmed it to New York Post newspaper. It seems Beyonce has gained a lot of pregnancy weight and is indulging herself with all her favorite calorific goods since she reportedly discovered she is expecting a baby.

Sources close to the Crazy In Love singer have hinted there could be double celebrations - as she and husband Jay-Z get set to have their first baby.

A friend said: "Beyonce is giving nothing away. She's always been close to her parents and open about wanting a large family of her own one day."

Beyonce, 26, and music mogul Jay-Z, 38, tied the knot over Christmas in a private ceremony with family and friends at fashion designer Giorgio Armani's house in Paris.

Since getting together five years ago, the couple have avoided talking about their relationship. Initially Beyonce's dad and manager, Matthew Knowles, disapproved of his daughter's choice of partner, but is now said to have come round to it.

Multi-millionaire Jay-Z proposed to Beyonce last May on holiday in Cannes in the south of France. After their wedding, they got matching tattoos of the Roman numeral IV on their fingers instead of rings.

Beyonce, who starred in the 2006 hit movie Dreamgirls, once said in an interview that she wouldn't pressure her children to become singers. She said: "We'll let our children make their own decisions. What if they are tone deaf? You never know."

Four years ago, at the age of 17, Beyonce's sister, Solange, married her American footballer boyfriend Daniel Smith in the Bahamas after finding out she was pregnant.

The friend added: "Beyonce and Solange have been brought up with strong Christian beliefs. Part of that belief is to be married before having children."

A spokesman for Beyonce said: "We do not comment on our client's private matters."

Beyonce Makes Surprise Appearance at Jay-Z Show

Newlyweds Beyoncé and Jay-Z briefly shared the stage on Friday at New York City’s The Heart of the City concert, after the rapper jokingly made fun of his wife’s hit song “Crazy in Love.”

As part of Jay-Z’s regular solo set during his tour with Mary J. Blige, the rapper sits in a DJ booth and plays classics such as “Money Ain’t a Thang,” and “Hard Knock Life.” Every time he plays a song, he cuts it off with an expletive. During the Friday show, he included his wife’s hit “Crazy in Love,” which he often does. But this time, after he cut it off, Beyoncé joined Jay-Z on stage and danced to the tune as the crowd cheered.

Among those at the sold-out show at at Madison Square Garden were Justin Timberlake, Jodie Foster and Naomi Campbell, reports MTVnews.com. Before leaving the stage, Beyoncé walked over to her husband, swirled and gave him a smile. Jay-Z responded by doubling over laughing.

The Hearts of the City Tour next hits Atlantic City, New Jersey on Monday night and returns to New York on May 6 and 7.

Newlywed Beyonce Returns to Recording Studio

Beyoncé, who married Jay-Z nearly a month ago in New York City, returned to the studio this week to record new material.

The newlywed, 26, is working in N.Y.C. with production duo Chris “Tricky” Stewart and Kuk Harrell. “She’s a professional,” Tricky says. “She loves what she does and works her [butt] off. Right now she’s basically doing three to four songs a day and that’s unheard of.”

Tricky, who worked with Rihanna and Jay-Z on “Umbrella” and Mariah Carey on “Touch My Body,” said the newly-minted husband hasn’t visited the studio, but don’t count out a collaboration between the newlyweds.

“It’s always a possibility,” Tricky said of a future Beyoncé and Jay-Z musical pairing. “They worked together before, so it may be just a matter of getting the right record.”

So has Tricky, a newlywed himself, offered any marital advice to Beyoncé? “No, we haven’t talked about it at all, but I will probably ask her for advice at some point!”

'BayJayce' A.K.A. BEYONCE AND JAY-Z OFFICIALLY MAN & WIFE

Sources tell Usmagazine.com that Jay-Z and Beyoncé tied the knot at the rapper's apartment in NYC's Tribeca neighborhood Friday night, although their reps will not confirm. Former Destiny's Child singers Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, and Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin were among the guests who attended the ceremony. A Reverend was also spotted. The singer donned a veil and a white dress with a low V-neck and thick straps. Her hair was in a half ponytail with ringlet curls, decorated with a white flower. The party was still going strong at 3 a.m. this morning. Beyoncé's father, Mathew Knowles, spoke about his daughter's nuptials in business meetings Friday. "Beyoncé's dad said he's sorry he couldn't have invited [more people] to the wedding, but they're keeping it small," a source close to the family tells Usmagazine.com.

Jay-Z, 38, and Beyoncé, 26, have always dodged questions about tying the knot. In 2007, the always tight-lipped rapper would only tell reporters: "One day soon - let's leave it at that." Are kids next for the couple? "One day I hope to be married with children" Beyoncé told Ellen DeGeneres in 2006. "I don't want to retire at 30, I want to relax," she said. "I still want to make albums and movies, but at a slower pace."

Early Friday, white checked linens were delivered, as well as boxes of white flowers. Tall silver candelabras were stacked on the street. A white tent was visible on the roof of the building.

Why wed on April 4? They're obsessed with the number! The rapper named his club 40/40 after a baseball term. (If a player hits 40 home runs and steals 40 bases in the same season, it's considered a major coup.) The couple also have matching IV tattoos on their ring fingers, and they were each born on the fourth day of a month (Beyoncé on September 4; Jay-Z, December 4).

Guests – all the women wore white – were banned from bringing mobile phones inside and had to leave them with their chauffeurs.

A friend told People magazine late on Friday night: "It happened earlier this evening. Jay wanted it to be a really private affair – close friends and family."

Earlier, Rowland and Williams had posted a video of themselves on YouTube from their room at the Four Seasons hotel in which they teased viewers that they were at an 'undisclosed location' and refused to say why they were making the flying visit to New York.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z, 37, have been together for six years after teaming up for the rapper's single 03 Bonnie & Clyde.

Beyonce Knowles

BIOGRAPHY

Born on September 4, 1981, to a loving family in Houston, Texas, Beyonce (rhymes with fiance) Giselle Knowles showed an aptitude for music before she could even talk. As a young girl, she would drown out everyone, including the choir, on Sundays at church. Every weekend, she tuned her voice by doing soulful hymns with the congregation and then moved on to opera classes, in which she was classically trained.

beyonce in destiny's child
A normal childhood was not in the books for Beyonce. At 8 years old, she met LaTavia Robertson while auditioning for a girl musical group and Matthew Knowles, Beyonce's manager and father, later paired the two with LeToya Luckett. In 1992, cousin Kelly Rowland joined the group, and they performed together on Star Search.

Small gigs and much label-shopping later, the four beauties cemented their relationship by calling themselves Destiny's Child. In 1997, "No, No, No" became their first official single, and they got off to a big start as the track went multiplatinum. The girls were instantly popular in the media and impressed all with their self-titled debut.

If critics were impressed with this new R&B group's success, they were absolutely floored when The Writing's on the Wall hit stores in 1999. DC, led by the incomparable Beyonce, had three top 10 hits within the year: "Jumpin, Jumpin," "Say My Name" and "Bills, Bills, Bills." They became one of the best-selling female groups of recent memory after this second album sold more than 9 million units worldwide. At the same time, it was announced that their single "Independent Women Part 1," off the Charlie's Angels soundtrack, had reached the largest audience ever in the recorded radio airplay -- 140.4 million pairs of ears.

beyonce's grammys
Shortly after the announcement of five Grammy nominations at the 2001 awards show and the excitement of the unbelievable record sales, LeToya and LaTavia left the group amid management struggles. Legal problems ensued, but Destiny's Child became whole again with the arrival of Michelle Williams, and, for a short stint only, backup singer Farrah Franklin. At the Grammys, DC took home two awards, Best R&B Song and Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group, both for "Say My Name."

As a trio, Destiny's Child's third album, Survivor, which debuted in the spring of 2001, garnered a whole new set of hits, like "Bootylicious" and the title track. The success of Survivor resulted in another Grammy for the group in February 2002. In fact, the American Music, MTV, Soul Train, and Image Awards all showered the group with more hardware and praise.

After all this success, the group's three talented "sistas" decided to try their hands at solo careers before investing their time in another Destiny's Child album. To no one's surprise, Beyonce captured the bulk of the spotlight with her sex appeal and strong vocals. Even before her first album was organized, she had a hit with Jay-Z called "Bonnie and Clyde '03" and was cracking up audiences with her big-screen debut alongside Mike Myers in Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002). This simply prepared fans for what was to come with Dangerously In Love, released in June 2003.

In 2003, Beyonce ventured onto the big screen again in the musical/comedy The Fighting Temptations alongside Oscar winner Cuba Gooding Jr.

beyonce's crazy in love
Beyonce displayed a versatile style with this solo effort, creating the club hit "Baby Boy," the pop success "Crazy In Love" and the soulful "The Closer I Get To You" with Luther Vandross. Like her work in Destiny's Child, Beyonce wrote or cowrote many of the tracks and performed her heart out on award shows to get the word out to a huge audience. She has emerged as a diva, making the best videos, catchiest songs and creating the most headlines. At 2004's Grammy ceremony, Beyonce took away five awards and was the biggest winner of the night (a feat Lauryn Hill, Alicia Keys and Norah Jones each accomplished in previous years). It was also during this time that Beyonce become involved with her "Crazy In Love" duet partner, Jay-Z.

In 2006, Beyonce hit the big screen again in The Pink Panther with comedic icon Steve Martin. The movie debuted at No. 1 on its opening weekend, and further solidified Beyonce as a double threat in the industry.

beyonce releases b'day

Beyonce's second solo effort, B'Day, was released in September 2006 with much success, selling 3,116,000 copies worldwide (and released on her 25th birthday). The singles "Deja Vu," "Ring the Alarm" and "Irreplaceable" all hit No. 1 on the charts, and the album was nominated for an outstanding five Grammy Awards in 2007.

Beyonce was no stranger to award nominations in 2007, however, as her role in the musical Dreamgirls (2006) garnered the star her first official nomination as an actress by none other than the prestigious Golden Globes. She was also awarded the International Artist Award at the 2007 American Music Awards.
