Hot Stuff - By the time Jay dropped The Black Album, his love for Bey was undeniable — though the two would rarely if ever be photographed together. But then Jigga released the video for his hit single “Dirt Off Your Shoulders,” which included a verse from another track, “PSA,” where he rapped: “I got the hottest chick in the game, wearing my chain,” and flashed a visibly giddy Beyoncé wearing his beloved Rockafella pendant.(Photo: Roc Nation)

Carter Ink - The number four has great significance for the duo, as Beyoncé explains her birthday is September 4, Jay’s December 4 and her mom, Miss Tina, January 4. So the duo not only wed on 4/4/08, they tattooed the Roman numeral IV on their ring finger marking a bond more permanent than wedding bans.  (Photos from left: by Frank Micelotta/PictureGroup, Jeffrey Mayer/WireImage)

Another One - After a one-year hiatus, which for some would seem not such a big deal, but for Beyoncé an eternity given her film and music career, clothing line and endorsement deals, the singer released another album all about love, aptly title 4.  Her lucky number and of course, her fourth solo release to go No. 1 on the charts. The ensuing mini tour in New York to promote the album was where recent baby rumors began.(Photo: Columbia Records)

Deeper Than Rap - The man who can’t seem to put the mic down, though he claimed retirement in 2004, released an album with his lil bro and favorite producer Kanye West. The highly anticipated release Watch the Throne included “New Day,” a track that had the gossip mill churning once again, when Hova rapped: Sorry junior, I already ruined ya/ Cause you ain’t even alive, paparazzi pursuin’ ya/ Sins of a father make your life ten times harder/ I just wanna take ya to a barber/ Bondin’ on charters, all the sh*t that I never did/ I just pray we was in love on the night that we conceived him/Promise to never leave him even if his mama tweakin’/ Cause my dad left me and I promise never repeat him.(Photo: Vince Bucci/PictureGroup)
