American R&B superstar Beyonce Knowles and hip-hop mogul Jay-Z have filed
a wedding license, dated April 4, signed by the person who officiated at the
wedding, media reported today.
The license was received by mail last Friday, said Scarsdale Clerk Donna
Conkling, the town clerk of Scarsdale Village in suburban Westchester County,
New York City.
The celebrities and their representatives refused to talk about the details
at the wedding.
The "03 Bonnie & Clyde" super music couple held a lavish private party in
Manhattan on April 4, with guests including Gwyneth Paltrow and Beyonce's former
Destiny's Child bandmates, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams.
Beyonce, 26, and former street hustler Jay-Z, 38, born Shawn Carter, have
been dating since September 2002.
Beyonce rose to fame as a member of Destiny's Child but emerged as a
superstar with her big-screen role as Foxxy Cleopatra in the 2002 film comedy
"Austin Powers in Goldmember."
In 2003, she scored a hit with her debut solo album, "Dangerously in Love,"
collecting five Grammys.
She earned a Golden Globe nomination in 2006 for her role in the film
adaptation of the Broadway hit musical "Dreamgirls."
Jay-Z ran the rap label Def Jam Records as president for several years but
stepped down from that post in December. He also co-owns the New Jersey Nets
professional basketball team.
