![]() In an interview with Vanity Fair more than a decade later, Jay would say of the time surrounding that shoot, “We were just beginning to try to date each other.”Ģ005: Despite attempts to keep their relationship private, the pair remains highly visible throughout 2005, as they are snapped canoodling everywhere from Italy to the Grammys. November 2001: Jay and Bey both appear on the cover of Vanity Fair’s music issue. July 4, 2000: An 18-year-old Bey appears on Jay Z protégé (and Roc-A-Fella records golden girl) Amil’s track “I Got That.” Exactly when their meet-cute happened remains vague, although various accounts puts it somewhere between 19. In a 2007 interview with Charlie Rose, Jay said he met Bey “ten years ago” (so, 1997). But in a 2008 interview with Seventeen, Bey said, “I was 18 when we first met, 19 when we first started dating.” (She was born September 4, 1981, so this would put their first encounter in late 1999 or early 2000.) In honor of the epic saga that is Bey and Jay, Vulture takes a look back at the musical icons’ entertaining history together, beginning when she was Destiny’s Child’s front woman and Jay Z still had his hyphen, and charting their many collaborations (e.g., “Bonnie and Clyde,” “Drunk in Love”), the birth of Blue, the infamous elevator video, and onward, toward their now-uncertain future.ġ997–2000: While they weren’t the subject of relationship rumors until the October 2002 release of the Jay Z single “’03 Bonnie and Clyde,” the two had become acquainted through the music scene well before that.

The album shatters any lingering innocence from the early days of Beyonce, with the singer of “Say My Name” and “Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)” generous in the details of her sex life with Jay-Z. Musically, “Everything is Love” marries the styles of the two artists, with songs driven by warm, sultry soul but with a hip-hop delivery. ![]() The video opens with the couple standing regally in front of the “Mona Lisa” - Jay-Z in a light green double-breasted suit, Beyonce in a lavender pantsuit - and features a squad of scantily clad dancers moving sensually in front of Jacques Louis David’s “The Coronation of Napoleon.” The couple also put out an elaborately choreographed video that takes place inside the Louvre museum in Paris for a song off the album, “Apeshit.” ![]() The album came out afterward exclusively on Jay-Z’s fledgling Tidal streaming service and is not available on Spotify - a far larger platform, which Beyonce disses on the album in a string of F-bombs.
