Beyonce And Jay Z Have Secretly Separated 'Numerous Times' Her Cousin Claims

Beyonce and Jay Z’s relationship has been under the spotlight for years but it all came to a head when Bey released her album ‘Lemonade’ last month and seemingly dropped a whole load of cheating allegations against her husband.

Although some have since argued that the stunt was just an elaborate marketing ploy, Beyonce’s cousin Shanica Knowles has now come forward and argued that Bey really is desperate to try and save her marriage.

In fact, Shanica has said that Bey and Jay have endured “numerous” secret separations since tying the knot back in 2008.

She explained: “Beyonce has been encouraged to write about the affair rumours to help her deal with it all and help her determine whether she could work through everything or have to end the marriage.

"This has been a long process and I’ve heard they’ve had to deal with silent separations and splits over the past few years, but Bey is praying this album will actually save her marriage.”

The very public way of dealing with her husband’s infidelity is also a result of Beyonce’s anger, her cousin claims.

She added to Heat magazine: “She’s been through the intense anger and I think she’s now learning to forgive Jay.

"The next few months are going to be the test - this is make or break for them - but he’s determined to do everything she can to make it work. Everyone is still very protective of Bey. She’s trying to put a brave face on things but she may not be able to get over this.

"Despite doing everything in her power to make it work, this could backfire. She’s admitted that she still may end up divorcing him. It’s up to Jay to continue fighting for her and prove that he’s determined to do whatever it takes to keep his wife.”

Here’s hoping that the pair manage to work things out, eh? We simply can’t imagine a world without Bey and Jay as the ultimate celeb power couple.
