Personal life

During the turmoil of Destiny's Child in 2000, She had admitted in December 2006 that Beyonce Kowles had experienced depression from an accumulation of struggles: the publicized split of LeToya Luckett and LaTavia Roberson, being publicly attacked by the media, critics and blogs for causing the split-up, and a longstanding boyfriend (that Beyonce Knowles had dated from age 12 to 19 years) leaving her.

The depression was so severe it had lasted for a couple of years, while Beyonce Knowles had kept herself in her bedroom for days and refused to eat anything. She stated that she struggled to speak about her depression because Destiny's Child had just won their first Grammy Award and Beyonce Knowles feared no one would take her seriously. All of these events had made her question herself and who her friends were, describing the situation she said, "Now that I was famous, I was afraid I'd never find somebody again to love me for me. I was afraid of making new friends." Beyonce Knowles remembers her mother, Tina Knowles, for finally saying to help her out of her depression, "Why do you think a person wouldn't love you? Don't you know how smart and sweet and beautiful you are?"

Since 2002, She has been in a relationship with rapper Jay-Z, with whom Beyonce Knowles has collaborated several times. Rumors began to circulate about their relationship after Knowles was featured on "'03 Bonnie & Clyde". In spite of persistent rumors about their relationship, they remained discreet about it. In 2005, rumors began to spread about the marriage of the couple. She closed the speculation stating that Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z were not even engaged. When asked again about the subject in September 2007, Jay-Z replied, "One day soon—let's leave it at that." Laura Schreffler, senior writer for OK! magazine, said, "They are intensely private people".

On April 4, 2008, Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z were married in New York City. It became a matter of public record on April 22, 2008, but Beyonce Knowles did not publicly debut Beyonce Knowles wedding ring until the Fashion Rocks concert on September 5, 2008 in New York City. She finally revealed their marriage through an opening montage video at the listening party for I Am... Sasha Fierce in Manhattan's Sony Club.



2010 Grammys: Beyonce Knowles vs Taylor Swift.. Women Dominate at the 2010 Grammy Awards - Jan 31, 2010 -

Beyoncé makes Grammy history with six wins, although Taylor Swift nabs the top prize

The 52nd annual Grammy Awards were up against the Pro Bowl, and for once, the show actually had some great, football-style twists and turns. Taylor Swift started the evening as a consensus pick, and won three country awards to start things off. Then she proceeded to miss out on every pop award she was up for, including two key losses to most-nominated Beyonce. The Swift fans were packing up and heading home, when... There's a fumble on the field, and flowing blonde locks in the end zone! Swift closed the show by becoming the youngest artist ever to win Album of the Year. .

Yes, it was the Heidi Game of Grammy telecasts. But the voters were into sharing the wealth. We'll spread some, too, with our own post-show kudos:.

LEAST NOTICEABLE BIG WINNER.

You'd hardly know Beyonce walked away with six Grammys, the most ever by a female artist in one night. Only two of them were presented on the telecast, and in an example of bad traffic control, she couldn't accept one of those—for Song of the Year ("Single Ladies")—because she was about to perform a major production number. The choice to sacrifice her possible acceptance speech for that was good a piece of evidence as any that performances trump trophies on all musical awards shows now
