Tina Knowles, Beyoncé’s proud mother, has once again reminded the world why her daughter and son-in-law, Jay-Z, are the epitome of enduring love.
BEYONCÉ AND JAY-Z’S WEDDING
On 4 April, Tina marked Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s 17th wedding anniversary with a heartfelt Instagram post that celebrated their remarkable bond.
Her tribute included a montage of throwback clips of the power couple, soundtracked by Beyoncé’s soulful ballad Still in Love (Kissing You).
The post was both touching and candid, showcasing Tina’s admiration for their ability to rise above challenges, according to People.
“Happy 17th anniversary to two of my favourite people in the whole wide world!” Tina wrote. “Your love and commitment, and the ability to block out all the outside noises, is remarkable. True love rises above all the bulls###. Enjoy your day.”
BEYONCÉ AND JAY-Z’S RELATIONSHIP
Her words resonated deeply with fans who have followed Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s journey from their early days as collaborators to becoming one of music’s most iconic couples.
The couple tied the knot on 4 April 2008 in an intimate ceremony at Jay-Z’s Manhattan penthouse. Known for their privacy preference, they kept the guest list to just 40 close friends and family members.
The décor was nothing short of magical, with thousands of white orchids flown in from Thailand, creating a winter wonderland, according to Essence.
Beyoncé wore a stunning strapless gown designed by none other than her mother, Tina Knowles. Jay-Z donned a classic tuxedo.
BEYONCÉ AND JAY-Z’S FAMILY
Their love story began in 2000 when they started dating after collaborating on music projects. Since then, they’ve built not only a thriving partnership but also a beautiful family.
They share three children: Blue Ivy (13) and twins Rumi and Sir (7).
Despite their immense fame and busy schedules, Tina has often praised Beyoncé for prioritising her role as a mother above all else, according to BET.
“Her kids are always her priority no matter what else is going on,” Tina said at Billboard’s Women in Music Awards last month.
RUMOURS AND SPECULATION
Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s relationship hasn’t been without its challenges—rumours and speculation have occasionally swirled around them. They’ve consistently proven their strength as a couple.
Tina has previously dismissed divorce rumours with her signature wit, stating, “Haters gon’ be haters.” Her unwavering support for their marriage is evident in moments like this anniversary tribute.
For South African fans of Beyoncé and Jay-Z, their story is not just inspiring but relatable.
It’s a reminder that even amidst fame and fortune, love requires effort, resilience, and the ability to block out negativity.
