Take THIS, Becky with the Good Hair!
On Tuesday. Beyonce Knowles and Jay Z celebrated their ninth wedding anniversary, a milestone most married couples in this country simply never achieve.
Considering the rumored history of this beloved couple (Did the rapper really cheat on the singer, as implied throughout the album “Lemonade?”), it was believed for a long time that Bey and Jay would not reach it, either.
But here they remain. Going strong.
In honor of the special occasion, Beyonce’s mother gave her daughter and son-in-law a social media shout-out yesterday, sharing a never-before-seen wedding photo of the couple via the Internet.
It was a pretty cool throwback image.
It hearkened back to a more innocent time for the superstars.

Beyonce then went ahead and did what she does best later in the day on Tuesday, taking fans by surprise yet again.
She didn’t drop a new album out of the blue this time; nor did she announce she’s given birth to her twins.
But the Queen did share an Instagram video that served as a montage to her marriage.
In the footage below, we’re treated to a review of power couple’s most memorable moments together, set to the track “Die with You” (which Beyonce unveiled two years ago, also in honor of her anniversary).
The previous video captures snapshot from her travels with Jay Z and their courtship – engagement ring and wedding tattoos included, along with snippets of a very pregnant Beyonce, both with Blue Ivy and the impending pair of babies.
The artist opens the footage below with a handwritten message that reads: “die with you, <3 B”
Aside from this video, Beyonce shared a pair of photos on her Instagram account yesterday.
The first features her hand intertwined with that of her husband, with the words I don’t need air in my lungs if I can’t sing your song written over their fingers:
The second depicts the shadows of Beyonce and Jay Z walking on the beach together, words once again splashed over the sweet image.
This time, the message read as follows: I don’t really need these fingers if I don’t get to touch your spine.
Of course, Beyonce managed to use her anniversary as both a chance to celebrate her personal life and promote her family’s professional life.
The video above is a mere sneak peek at the full-length video fans can watch online.
You can stream the clip in its entirety on the Jay Z-owned music service Tidal.
Beyonce and Jay Z are due to become parents for the second time at some point over the next couple months.
Check out the following list of potential names and join us in sending these two your very best wishes!
