Us Weekly: Beyonce has already contacted divorce lawyers, written a press release
Another week, another set of breakup/divorce rumors for Beyonce and Jay-Z. This is the cover of the current issue of Us Weekly, because I guess the tabloids are really and truly ON IT now, plus they figure “Beyonce” + “Divorce” = circulation. Imagine the field day the tabloids are going to have if and when Bey and Jay really do announce this split. Anyway, here are the basics of Us Weekly’s cover story:
Could Beyonce be a “single lady” once more? Now that the singer has finished the last of her On The Run U.S. tour dates with husband Jay Z, speculation about the couple’s marriage is at an all-time high. Fans are wondering if the spouses of six years will go the distance — but Beyonce is already making moves toward a split, sources reveal in the new issue of Us Weekly.
Insiders tell Us the music superstar, 32, has a plan of action in place for if/when she decides to call it quits with her rapper hubby, 44, dad to her 2-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy. One source says “she is done” after their remaining On The Run shows in Paris, France.
Rumors about the state of the couple’s union have been rampant ever since footage leaked of Bey’s younger sister, Solange, fighting with Jay Z in an elevator at the Standard Hotel after the May 5 Met Ball. The “Crazy in Love” singer has done her best to quiet the chatter with happy family pictures posted to Instagram, but insiders say things aren’t so rosy behind the scenes.
“Beyonce always ignored the cheating talk, but after the elevator fight, the floodgate of rumors opened. She doesn’t know what to do.”
Beyonce is reportedly “insecure” about Jay’s “wandering eye.” An insider says that Beyonce systematically eliminated for view anyone she deems to be her husband’s type. “She kept their circle tight to make sure no pretty girl could take his attention.”
One insider tells Us that Jay and Beyonce even have a draft of a divorce announcement ready for the Associated Press – if she decides to call it quits.
Beyonce’s escape plan: the week of the Met Gala, Beyonce started checking out new homes in Manhattan. “She’ll file for divorce in New York,” says an insider. “Lawyers are already involved.”

Sources also say that Bey has turned to Gwyneth Paltrow for support and advice on how to keep the split amicable, plus Bey is leaning on her mom a lot these days. Tina is telling Beyonce to stay with Jay though. And Jay is reportedly “freaking out” because he’s realized how much power she will have if she leaves him. Oh, and Us Weekly says Beyonce and Jay were going to go to Kim Kardashian and Kanye’s wedding but they decided to cancel after the Met Gala mess.
Other sources say that while Beyonce makes up her mind about what her next step will be, she’s been “incredibly invested in maintaining” the happy-family image. Speaking of, Beyonce posted a bunch of new family photos on her Tumblr. She and Jay took Blue Ivy go-karting.
