It does now seem certain that Beyonce and rapper Jay-Z got married last week in a secret ceremony.

Mary J. Blige gave a shout out to the couple during her show on Saturday night saying: “Congratulations to my man, Jay-Z, and my girl B.”

Blige is currently doing a series of shows with Jay-Z in a “Heart Of The City” tour and is known to be close to the couple.

However, it was business as usual for Jay-Z who performed his set without giving any clues he had recently wed his sweetheart B. He wasn’t seen to be sporting any wedding rings either!

Jay-Z only reference his partner once during the show when he switched into a few seconds of “Crazy In Love” during his set before saying “Sorry B”.

Beyonce and Jay-Z got hitched this past weekend according to a report in People Magazine - following frenzied media speculation all week.

The rapper finally made an honest woman of Bee with a private ceremony in New York according to rumors circulating around the media.

“It happened earlier this evening. Jay wanted it to be a really private affair - close friends and family,” a friend was quoted as telling People Magazine.

The ceremony was reportedly followed by a party at Jay-Z’s Tribeca apartment that included Beyonce’s mother Tina Knowles, her father Matthew, sister Solange, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams (her former band mates from Destiny’s Child) and Gwyneth Paltrow.

One of Jay-Z’s favorites DJ Cassidy was hired to spin the records at the party.

“Cassidy mentioned a week ago that he was really excited for the Jay Z and Beyoncé’s wedding party to happen,” the friend was quoted as saying.

Congratulations to the happy couple if the story is true! At the time of writing, there is still no official confirmation from the couple or anyone associated with them.
