Beyoncé and Jay-Z have been together for several years. She once talked about the difficult transition they had to make in the early stages of their relationship.
Beyoncé and Jay-Z are both extremely successful individuals at the pinnacle of their careers. They married in 2008 and have revealed little about their relationship over the years. However, Beyoncé has previously spoken openly about their relationship. She admitted that she felt they were in a power struggle with each other.
Beyoncé shared what her dynamic with Jay-Z is like
Beyoncé and Jay-Z are both accomplished artists who are accustomed to having their work heard. She admitted that learning to compromise was difficult for them.
“It is a power struggle,” she informed Elle.
She said she enjoyed having to figure out how to navigate the relationship, though. She sought a partner who could match her strength.
“I’m finding out [how to approach it],” she told me. “But if I didn’t respect someone and they didn’t have that strength, I’d get bored. I would not be attracted to them. At the same time, I am not looking for someone to dominate me.”
She also liked how having to learn to compromise helped her become a better person.
“Find somebody who makes you a better person,” she told me. “You become the people you surround yourself with. And if I don’t want to be like you, I’d rather not be around you.”
Beyoncé doesn’t talk much about her relationship with Jay-Z
While Beyoncé admitted that her relationship was a power struggle, she did not provide much additional information. She said she dislikes discussing her relationship.
“I don’t actually talk about who I’m dating, who I’m not, because I think it’s important that I concentrate on the music and when you start talking about those things, then that becomes bigger than the art,” she claimed (according to Today).
Jay-Z agrees. He believes that he must conceal certain aspects of himself from the public eye.
“I believe it’s important to keep certain aspects of one’s life private.” You have to, or you’ll go insane in this kind of business,” he told Yahoo!. “You must have something sacred for yourself and those around you…”
I shared so much of my life, including my childhood and family, as well as the death of my nephew, with the world. I should have something to hold onto. You need something to say, ‘Okay, I could chill out, and this is it.'”
She reportedly feels devastated by the recent allegations against him
Beyoncé and Jay-Z are currently going through a difficult period in their relationship. He was recently named in a lawsuit that claimed he and Sean “Diddy” Combs raped a 13-year-old girl at a party.
“Beyoncé isn’t in a good place at all and is surrounded by her mother and other friends at their home in LA,” a source told the Daily Mail. “She has cancelled several surprise promotional appearances. Jay has assured her that he is not guilty, and he is furious that his friendship with Diddy has dragged him into this.
