Beyonce Knowles finally tied the knot with her longtime boyfriend Jay-Z on April 4, according to a friend of the couple.

Although there is no official confirmation, but the friend says that the wedding has taken place.

“It happened earlier this evening. Jay wanted it to be a really private affair close friends and family,” People quoted the friend, as saying.

Following the wedding, there was a lavish party at the rapper’s Tribeca apartment, which was full of the couples nearest ones.

Attendees included Beyonce’s mother Tina Knowles, her father/manager Mathew, her sister Solange, her Destiny’s Child mates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, and the couple’s friend Gwyneth Paltrow.

There was a swirl of activity on April 4 at the rap mogul’s Tribeca apartment, the friend said.

A white tent was set up on the roof and delivery trucks funnelled in and out of the building, dropping off silver candelabras and white flowers.
