When did Jay-Z meet Beyonce and when did they get married?
Jay Z reportedly started a relationship with Beyoncé after collaborating on the track 03 Bonnie & Clyde in 2002.
The track appeared on his album The Blueprint 2: The Gift & The Curse and Beyoncé played his girlfriend in the video, setting the rumour mill into overdrive.
The couple married in secret in April 2008, with Beyoncé announcing the news during a listening party for her album I am…Sasha Fierce that October.
