There have been nothing but intense speculations and scrutiny of a perceived marriage crack between music diva, Beyonce and her rapper husband, Jay Z in the past few years – the speculations becoming more pronounced with Bey’s surprise release of her sixth studio album, LEMONADE.
Despite the couple trying their best to keep their perceived marriage drama under wraps, reactions have trailed Beyonce’s solo appearance at the 2016 Met Gala on Monday night, with a source saying it was deliberate on the couple’s part.
Shanica Knowles, Bey’s 25-year-old cousin have seemingly confirmed the rumours of marriage dispute between the couple, as she has said they have had to endure numerous ‘silent separations’.

‘I’ve heard they’ve had to deal with silent separations and splits over the past few years, but Bey is praying this album will actually save her marriage,’ she said in a recent interview with Heat magazine.
She added, ‘She’s been through the intense anger and I think she’s now learning to forgive Jay.
‘The next few months are going to be the test – this is make or break for them – but she’s determined to do everything she can to make it work’.
Shanica however said the couple are still treading on murky waters, as Bey has to be fully convinced of Jay’s commitment to make the marriage work again.
‘Beyonce has been encouraged to write about the affair rumours to help her deal with it all and help her determine whether she could work through everything or have to end the marriage.’
Talking further to the magazine, she added: ‘Everyone is still very protective of Bey. She’s trying to put a brave face on things but she may not be able to get over this.
‘Despite doing everything in her power to make it work, this could backfire. She’s admitted that she still may end up divorcing him.
‘It’s up to Jay to continue fighting for her and prove that he’s determined to do whatever it takes to keep his wife’.
It seems the singer is gradually finding reasons to hang on, dedicating a gushing tribute to her ‘beautiful husband’ during the first night of her Formation World Tour in Miami and adding at the beginning of her performance, ‘I love you so much’.
