Are Jay-Z and Beyoncé Splitting Up?

By Sharmaine Jones

Could hip-hop power couple Jay-Z and Beyoncé really be headed for splitsville?

Media Take Out reported that couple, who married in 2008, is making a “trial separation” — with Jay-Z, 41, signing a lease to move into a Los Angeles mansion and Beyoncé, 29, staying in New York City.

"The biggest thing [they argue about] is about kids, [Jay] wants them and Beyoncé doesn't," a source close to Jigga told the gossip site. "It's all about her career, and she doesn't want to slow down."

"The hope is that with the time apart, the couple will decide to either have kids, or go their separate ways."

Solo Bey was photographed on Valentine's Day with her sister Solange and former Destiny's Child bandmates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams — but without her wedding ring.

Celebrity sources told the site the couple was so tense at the Gucci and RocNation pre-Grammy Luncheon on Saturday, Feb. 12, that “they didn't even look each other in the eye.”

That's too bad. We really hope they work things out.

Do you think this is the beginning of the end for Jay-Z and Beyoncé? tell us in the comments or @MTV3.
