Both of them are said to have already stopped wearing their wedding rings and allegedly the only thing keeping them together is their joint On The Run tour, which is set to wrap in December.

According to sources, Bey, 32, and 48-year-old Jay have tried marriage counselling, but it failed to work and now it’s looking like the end of the road for them.
Apparently the superstar couple thought having their two-year-old daughter Blue-Ivy would bring them back together, but their family happiness is said to have been short lived.

A source told the New York Post: “For just a split moment, things got real for them and she was even talking about adding to the family. But, after a while, Jay was out doing Jay and Bey was out doing Bey.
“They made the classic mistake of thinking a child would change everything and help to rekindle the initial fire, and it didn’t.”
While this information suggests the couple have been having problems since before Blue was born, reports of their marriage troubles only began to surface after video footage leaked of Bey’s sister Solange attacking Jay in a lift after this year’s Met Gala.

While no official reason has been given, at the time rumours were circulating that the attack was a result of turbulence in her sister’s marriage to Jay.
A statement from the trio at the time read: “At the end of the day, families have problems and we’re no different. We love each other and above all, we are family. We’ve put this behind us and hope everyone else will do the same.”
