Beyoncé and Jay-Z ‘to split after tour

Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s marriage has been dogged by rumours it’s on the rocks for a while, but now it’s been claimed the end really is nigh.

The pair are said to be heading directly for splitsville despite working hard to keep their relationship together. But sources say it hasn’t worked and, once the tour ends, so will the couple.

‘They are trying to figure out a way to split without divorcing,’ a source told the New York Post. ‘This is a huge concert tour and they’ve already gotten most of the money from the promoters up front.’

The duo are said to have been struggling long before Blue Ivy came on the scene, and although they thought she’d make them stronger than ever, the source claims it hasn’t panned out the way they thought.

‘They thought a baby would make things better. They made the classic mistake of thinking a child would change everything and help to rekindle the initial fire, and it didn’t.

‘There are no rings, if you haven’t noticed,’ the source continued.

It’s been public knowledge that all was not well in the Bey/Jay camp when Beyoncé’s sister Solange made a very public attack on Jay-Z in a hotel lift, allegedly over him cheating on her sister. And then there was Bey amending lyrics in her songs during the On The Run tour that hinted that Jay-Z had been less than faithful.

At the time, the family’s statement played down the lift incident: ‘At the end of the day families have problems and we’re no different. We love each other and above all we are a family. We’ve put this behind us and hope everyone else will do the same.’

A source revealed recently that the couple have been in marriage counselling to rescue their marriage, but it was too little too late.

If even Beyoncé and Jay-Z can’t go the distance,
