What is the name of Jay-Z's wife?

Jay-Z’s wife is Beyoncé.

Jay-Z and Beyoncé Knowles-Carter are two of the most influential figures in modern popular music. Beyoncé is an American singer, songwriter, performer, and producer who first became widely known as a member of Destiny’s Child before building a major solo career.

The couple married in a private ceremony in New York City on April 4, 2008. Their relationship has also become a prominent artistic partnership: they have collaborated on songs including “’03 Bonnie & Clyde,” “Crazy in Love,” “Déjà Vu,” and “Drunk in Love.” In 2018, they released Everything Is Love together under the name The Carters.

A frequent point of confusion is Beyoncé’s surname. She was born Beyoncé Giselle Knowles and later became Beyoncé Knowles-Carter after marriage. Jay-Z’s birth name is Shawn Corey Carter, which explains the shared Carter surname. The couple have three children: daughter Blue Ivy and twins Rumi and Sir.
