Beyoncé and Jay-Z just celebrated their 17th wedding anniversary, y’all! This milestone celebration is a great opportunity to show the world their steadfast love and constant commitment to one another. The two were married in 2008. Since then, they have adopted three children into their growing family. Blue Ivy Carter, now 13, has just graduated to being “manager” to her world-famous mom and dad. She exhibits a no-nonsense attitude that perfectly fits her Capricorn nature.
Beyoncé and Jay-Z celebrated their special day amidst the hustle and bustle of family life. Less than a year into their marriage, the couple began expanding their family. They welcomed fraternal twins Rumi and Sir in 2017, and she carried them herself. This anniversary not only emphasizes their long-time romantic devotion to one another, but reveals the warm, tightly-knit, family-oriented reality they continue to proudly profess.
In honor of these anniversary celebrations, Beyoncé took home the Best Country Album award for her collaborative project “COWBOY CARTER.” When she accepted the honor, her surprise was evident—as it should have been, given the rarity and significance of the honor. Prompting her mom and dad to “get up,” Blue Ivy marched forcefully across the stage. This utterly charming act of leadership and serendipity provided a fitting capstone to a wonderful day of family victory.
Beyoncé’s mom, Tina Knowles, took to social media to gush over the couple with touching tributes. She shared her love for them, and how special their bond was.
“Your love and commitment, and the ability to block out all the outside noises is remarkable. True love rises above all the bulls—t.” – Tina Knowles
She had celebrated their anniversary with a loving post on Instagram.
“Happy 17th anniversary to two of my favorite people in the whole wide world!!!!” – Tina Knowles
In many ways, Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s marriage has transformed into a perfect metaphor for the strength and devotion that exists behind closed doors today. Yet their choice to balance the temptations and opportunities of celebrity with a dedication to sharing their family’s joy with the world makes them role models for millions. Blue Ivy is becoming a major force within the family. She is obviously learning what it means to love and support someone from her parents’ example.
