Who is Beyoncé's husband?

Beyoncé's husband is rapper and entrepreneur Jay-Z.

Jay-Z's birth name is Shawn Corey Carter, and he married Beyoncé in 2008. The couple had already collaborated musically, including on “'03 Bonnie & Clyde” and “Crazy in Love,” before their marriage.

Together, Beyoncé and Jay-Z are among the best-known couples in popular music. They have three children: Blue Ivy Carter and twins Rumi and Sir Carter. They have also released joint music, most notably the 2018 album Everything Is Love, credited to The Carters.

Jay-Z is a stage name, so answers such as “Shawn Carter” identify the same person but do not match the short professional name most commonly requested. “Jay-Z” is the canonical answer for questions asking who Beyoncé's husband is.
