After years of doing an awesome job of keeping their relationship a secret, Beyonce and Jay-Z finally got married in April 2008 (as you probably already know by now). Beyonce never switched her name to Carter or at least she didn’t announce that she did. Recently the couple both made the decision to take both of their last names and join them to keep their parental line from dying out. Jay-Z (Shawn Carter) will now be known as Shawn Knowles-Carter and Beyonce will be known as Beyonce Knowles- Carter.
A sourse reveal to Ok magazine:
“They want to keep Knowles because Beyonce’s parents didn’t have any sons and they’re keen to keep the name going strong, especially if they don’t produce any children themselves.”
I am not really sure of how I feel about this… I really have NEVERHEARDOFIT…but I am not saying its a bad thing. NO COMMENT
