The worst kept secret in celebrity circles appears to have been broken - Beyonce and Jay-Z are officially married.
The couple filed a signed wedding license last Friday in Scarsdale, New York, a spokesman for the village’s clerk’s office reportedly said.
Beyonce was also spotted recently at her hubby’s gig in Atlanta sporting a huge rock on her ring finger.
But Beyonce’s sister Solange is still playing it coy.
She reportedly answered US Magazine reporters who quizzed her on the ceremony: “What night are you talking about? Friday? Hmm. Friday. I really don’t [know],” and “I have no idea!”
“Family is family, and we’re all [a] very tight-knit, protective family,” she added.
I think you can give it up now Solange.

It does now seem certain that Beyonce and rapper Jay-Z got married last week in a secret ceremony.
Mary J. Blige gave a shout out to the couple during her show on Saturday night saying: “Congratulations to my man, Jay-Z, and my girl B.”
Blige is currently doing a series of shows with Jay-Z in a “Heart Of The City” tour and is known to be close to the couple.
However, it was business as usual for Jay-Z who performed his set without giving any clues he had recently wed his sweetheart B. He wasn’t seen to be sporting any wedding rings either!
Jay-Z only reference his partner once during the show when he switched into a few seconds of “Crazy In Love” during his set before saying “Sorry B”.
