In 2017, Jay-Z got candid about his marriage with the "Halo" singer in a documentary, where he admitted that their relationship was not totally built on truth. He explained they both decided to have a fresh start and make their marriage work.
"This is my real life. I just ran into this place and we built this big, beautiful mansion of a relationship that wasn't totally built on the 100 percent truth and it starts cracking," Jay-Z said. "Things start happening that the public can see. Then we had to get to a point of ‘OK, tear this down and let’s start from the beginning.’ It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done."
