Popular American rapper Jay-Z has opened up about his marriage to his superstar wife Beyonce as well as revealing why they chose to save their relationship, instead of getting divorced, after he was caught cheating.
In an interview with CNN on Saturday, the 99 Problems hitmaker opened up and declared that he and Beyonce had chosen to “fight for our love.”
He said: “She’s my soul mate, the person I love.
“For us, we chose to fight for our love. For our family. To give our kids a different outcome. To break that cycle for black men and women.”
Jay added that the key to working through marital difficulties, regardless of their fame, is having “the tools to move forward”.
He added: “We were never a celebrity couple — we were a couple that happened to be celebrities. We are real people.”
Rumours about Beyonce and Jay-Z’s marriage began swirling after leaked CCTV footage showed Beyoncé’s sister, Solange Knowles, kicking the rapper in an elevator after the Met Ball.
