BEYONCE CONFIRMS HER WEDDING NEWS

Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z refused to tell the world about their marriage, because they want to keep their relationship free of all the "tabloid drama." Knowles wed rapper Jay-Z on April 4 in New York City, although neither of the newlyweds spoke out to confirm the happy news until now. And Knowles insists her reluctance to share details of their nuptials stems from their desire to steer clear of media scrutiny. She says, "I don't deny it (the wedding). I just don't talk about it. We've never talked about us and it's kind of protected our relationship. I think it's kept us out of tabloid drama. "A lot of actresses that have had successful relationships don't talk about them, so neither do I."
