NEW YORK — Singer Beyoncé Knowles and her longtime boyfriend, rapper Jay-Z, reportedly made it official on Friday, getting married in New York.
The couple's private ceremony was followed by a lavish party at Jay-Z's Tribeca apartment. Among those attending were Beyoncé's mother Tina Knowles, her father/manager Mathew, her sister Solange, and her Destiny's Child mates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams. Other guests included the couple's friends, Gwyneth Paltrow and her husband, Coldplay singer Chris Martin.
Knowles, 26, and Jay-Z, 38, have been dating since 2002. They have done their best to keep their high-profile relationship out of the spotlight, although wedding rumors have long plagued them.
The buzz picked up again last week when the couple reportedly went to pick up their marriage license in Scarsdale, N.Y. on Tuesday.
"It was amazing — very special, very private, very intimate," a source tells UsMagazine of the wedding reception. "Everyone had so much fun. It ended up being a wild party. DJ Cassidy was spinning and people partied until 4:30 a.m."
