Which rapper and producer is Beyoncé’s husband?

The story behind the answer

Jay-Z is Beyoncé’s husband.

The two musicians married on April 4, 2008, after building a prominent professional relationship through collaborations. They had already appeared together on songs including “'03 Bonnie & Clyde” and Beyoncé’s 2003 breakthrough single “Crazy in Love.” Their marriage united two highly successful careers in hip-hop and R&B.

They have three children: daughter Blue Ivy Carter, born in 2012, and twins Rumi and Sir Carter, born in 2017. The family’s public profile has remained unusually influential in music, fashion, film, and popular culture.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z have also released music together as a duo under the name the Carters. Their joint album Everything Is Love was released in 2018. Jay-Z’s professional identity is sometimes reduced to rapper, but he is also a record executive, entrepreneur, and producer, while Beyoncé’s career spans singing, songwriting, acting, directing, and business.
