The world has been going absolutely gaga over Everything is Love, the surprise joint album that was recently dropped by Queen Bey and husband Jay Z.
The title of the album got us to thinking about how far they’ve come in their relationship. If Lemonade was all about bitter recriminations, Everything is Love offers some closure to the beyhive, with regards to an update on how the couple are doing.
While the Beyhive probably has yet to move on and forgive Jay Z, it’s clear that the couple has managed to weather the storm. I think, given how public their lives are and how open both of them have been in their albums, that a lot of hurt, anger, sorrow and regret that could have been left to fester have been used as a healing narrative in their music.
Looking at their latest video and their concert pics, the couple appear to have really moved on.
Here’s a list of other couples who’ve also weathered the infidelity storm.
David and Victoria Beckham
Who could ever forget the scandal that rocked one of Britain’s hottest couples when David’s former PA alleged that the two of them had an affair back in 2004? Bustle.com reports that there were also rumours that he cheated on Victoria with more than one person.
It certainly couldn’t have been an easy time for Victoria, but the couple seem to have gotten past the worst.
Cardi B and Offset
Offset has been accused of cheating on Cardi B, currently pregnant with their first child, multiple times. Cardi B has hit back at some of the rumours, especially after a video apparently emerged showing what looked like Offseat cheating.
It appears that she’s definitely planning to stick by his side, and has even offered Khloe Kardashian some advice following her own cheating drama, saying that no relationship is perfect and that people don’t often know what a couple is going through.
One can only hope that Offset is actually as loyal to her as she is to him.
Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade
According to Womens Health Mag, the couple initially started dating back in 2009 but split just before their engagement in 2013. It turned out that during their time out period, Dwyane had actually fathered a child.
There is some confusion surrounding the timeline though, because many have been speculating that he actually cheated while he was still with her, but either way, the couple have given it another go and have been happy ever since.
Malusi and Norma Gigaba
Our politicians are definitely not exempt from cheating scandals. According to News24, Home Affairs minister Malusi Gigaba had an affair with socialite Buhle Mkhize.
Following a revealing interview with eNCA, in which Norma openly addressed Malusi’s betrayal, a twitter account, which allegedly was Buhle’s started firing off a series of vicious tweets that took social media by storm.
The couple have since reconciled and appear to be happier than ever.
