10 celebrities who turned their lovers into superstars (With Pictures)

3. Beyonce, Jay-Z

Beyonce was an established singer before she met Jay-Z, thanks to her partake in the successful girl group that was Destiny’s Child. But her solo career took off even better, and a lot of people would like to think that it was solely down to Jay’s help. Jay, real name Sean Carter, was very instrumental in Beyonce’s solo career — from picking the right songs, the matching lyrics, to wardrobe, stage presence and image. In comparisons to Kelly Rowland, who, unfortunately, has not even sold one quarter of Bey’s worldwide album sales during her solo run, Jay-Z’s influence on Beyonce really helped.
