If you felt the earth shake on Thursday, July 30, it may have been from the "emergency meeting" on Beyoncé and Jay Z’s marriage.
According to the New York Post's Page Six, Bey, Jay, concert promoter
Live Nation, HBO and at least four lawyers attended the meeting to
discuss the couple’s union, and all the very public rumors about their
potential split. If they were just a "normal" couple going through
normal struggles, it would be more private, but they are a huge, huge
brand. There are millions of dollars at stake. Apparently the executives
at the meeting wanted to issue a statement of some kind (like after the
Solange fight), but the couple said no, because they couldn't agree on
what to say.
HBO plans to air a major special on the couple’s “On the Run” tour in
September, which could get awkward — but also get plenty of
rubber-necking attention — if the couple splits around then. A source
said there's fear that the tour may be canceled by San Francisco, never
mind the Paris finale in September.
Lawyers have joined the tour, the source said, "and they’re not here
just to see them perform. They are here to help hash things out." Even
though the stars seem happy together on stage and in public, an insider
said Bey and Jay are keeping their distance. “They’re not just staying
in different hotel rooms, but they have booked separate hotels, and they
arrive separately to each show." Beyonce was recently seen shopping for
a new apartment in New York City, without Jay.
What’s really going on with the couple? As usual, the truth is
probably somewhere in the middle: Not quite as perfectly happy as they’d
like to project and and not quite as doom and gloom as some of these
unnamed sources suggest. Hopefully they can just get through the tour
and then take some private time, away from HBO and all other cameras,
and just talk things out like a regular married couple.
