Report: Jay-Z and Beyoncé secretly wed

Jay-Z and Beyoncé Knowles have reportedly married in a secret ceremony in Paris.

The pair, who have been dating since they collaborated on a song in 2002, kept the wedding quiet so that they would not be interrupted by media attention.

Beyoncé and the rapper also had tattoos on their wedding fingers to mark their relationship, it has been revealed.

A source said: "They didn't want all the attention that usually follows them around. They just wanted it to be intimate and romantic. It was lovely and they are both blissfully happy."

The insider added: "They thought the tattoos would be a lovely personal touch."

Jay-Z proposed to the singer in May when they were on holiday in Cannes, France. The pair are thought to be staying in the French capital for an extended holiday after tying the knot.
