Jay-Z opens up about fighting for his marriage with Beyonce 

Im so tired of people saying that strong women are forgiving and stay. You can be strong and leave. I actually think it takes more strength to leave.

Cheating is not a mistake. It's a choice.

If he is the one who cheated he didnt "fight" to save their marriage. He in essence begged for her forgiveness. She is the one who fought for the marriage by forgiving his transgressions. Now that is a fight and it hurts like hell.

If you married to the queen; brah you’re already blessed. Who cheats at that point?

The time to fight for your marriage is when you're being tempted.

A man who cheats with a child sitting at home is a coward

Wow he’s really praising this man for trying to stay in his marriage after HE cheated.

He is so unattractive and I’m not even referring to his physical appearance. I can only imagine how many tears she sheds to this day. Poor B.

Let Beyonce cheat. Hed be GONE. He wouldn't be talking about fighting for love then

Self control is a great character billions of people underestimate

Never be with someone who doesn't know your worth.

I'm shocked by the comments! I thought i was going to get sick, by everyone sticking up for him! I'm glad I was wrong!!

Don't know how to take this....but my initial reaction is if u don't want a mess to clean..don't make one...it's that simple

‘If I were a boy’. You damn right Bey. Just look at your husband who cheated and the situation has been glorified into him managing to ‘save the marriage’.

Those who leave are strong. Those who stay are strong. Whatever your decision is, you’re right. Don’t let any of our words tell you otherwise.

"We were never celebrity couple, we were couple that just happen to be celebrities" wise words by Jay

The best apology is “change the behavior” and “acknowledge their pain”!!!! This is something a lot of people don’t get... if you mess up you have to suffer through the other person’s pain!!!

Stop cheating on your wife and you won't have marriage problems.

He NEVER says, yes, I will forgive her if she does the same thing. He said he prays that he would... 😹 If it's not a yes, it's a No.

This interview is so bias. Anything JZ says the host says it’s beautiful 😫

I get this feeling that it would not have been the same if it was her cheating

Women always seem to be stronger than men in infidelity issues if the shoe was on the other foot he would've left smh

He sounds like he has been verrrry well coached by his PR team.

Finding out that you've been cheated on can be devastating. 💔😔😭 But if the person is accountable + truly sorry, the couple can move past it. That person MUST do the work + allow the person they hurt to grieve + express themselves. If they don't do this, moving forward will be difficult + it's best to give up. So many ppl who cheat gaslight their partners causing further pain. Jay Z has done the work to repair himself + his marriage. I respect that. 🙏🏽

So she’s your soulmate and you love her so deeply so you cheat on her ???

Why is the interviewer acting like jay z is some sort of hero for cheating on Beyoncé?

"He only loves me when i'm not there" awu ngeke ayikho lento

It’s interesting... He said “You have to acknowledge..” and I thought that he was about to say that you have to acknowledge that you hurt someone or that you fucked up... But he said that you have to acknowledge “their pain” and “let them have their say” and “be strong enough to listen to that pain.” Still dodging tf out of personal responsibility and making himself the hero, seems like :/ lol

You'd think he had beaten cancer from the way he's speaking, not that he finally decided to stop knobbing a load of groupies and treat his wife with respect...

I hate how they are praising him for fighting for his marriage as if his wife didn't have the shitty end of the stick kmt

This shows, it doesn’t matter how good you look or how much money you have. Anyone can be cheated on!

man that point he makes at 0:37 is a lesson i'm in the middle of learning. young love, moved in with my first and only adult partner after a year of dating and wheeeeew. i learned i have an avoidant attachment style and i've been cramming on knowledge in order to be a stronger and reliable partner in my relationship because i didn't realize how my actions were causing friction nor did i know how to communicate my own needs. different situations from Jay obviously but that statement he made is one of the most humbling revelations i've had at the start of my study

I don’t know exactly when he became a billionaire but I could only imagine what child support would look like. That would make a fighter out of anyone😂

Sounds like he’s just repeating what a couples therapist told him.

Powerful message ! His laugh at the end tho 🤣🤣🤣😂

I love their love story. I want them to write the book on love, marraige and keeping it together. 💕

If you can't stop yourself from cheating then don't get married.

Oh and FYI he didn’t fight for his marriage he begged and hoped for forgiveness it’s a difference. You fight for it before you cheat!! PERIOD.

When they asked is he in the illuminati 😂😂😂

It kinda piss me off that they keep saying he was fighting for his marriage, when he was thee one destroying it in the first place

“Strong,” because U cheated and she accepted it and stuck with you?! Ok...🙄

This only proves that no matter how beautiful, intelligent and successful you are, there is a man out there who will cheat on you.

After watching this very short snippet I actually have a little respect for Jay Z. He is openly acknowledging his wrongdoing and taking responsibility. It is no secret that black men have issues and generally being faithful is not on their radar. Jay Z is a trailblazer - let's hope they will take his lead.

Beautiful thing: this is their testimony, NOT any one else's independent of any cliches, pathologies, theories and expectations, this is about Beyonce and Shaun. You as an individual have to right and run your own race based on the ingredients involved, based on the environment of your soul, based on the surroundings that you are dwelling within and the level of spiritual maturity you encompass. Growth of any kind takes a willingness, a humility, a surrender. NOT everyone is willing to step UP into that domain and answer the call. See one of the biggest differences is that he valued his relationship and was wiling to be vulnerable and do the work., NOT everyone can say that they value the person that they dishonored, nor are they willing to do the work. The weak find it very easy to just walk away and come up with a good story that confines their F IT to a short sentence. YOU never learn when you keep running YOU Must examine the protocols that have allowed you to be where you are, even if you think you have it all together. Even if you have all the money and fame, when you fail to address the monsters in the window that keep hounding your spirit, you will just continue to do more of the same things with a different person. Like he said, they were people first, not celebrity first. look past the personalities and the outward trappings, we are all humans on a whirlwind experience who need to look within to figure OUT who we are and what is NEXT. When you love someone, you find the courage to work for what you value.

Men can treat women so bad wow. You could have a woman who is loyal, beautiful inside and out who is doing her part and they still look out of their marriage.

No offense or disrespect, but why would you hurt the person you love so much and then call her your soulmate. You don't hurt people you love intentionally. Come on, he knew what he was doing and how it could affect their relationship.

It's amazing how many people have such strong opinions about a relationship and two people they have never met and know almost nothing about 🙄🤦

Jay Z : she’s my soulmate Also Jay Z : still cheating to this day🙇🏻‍♀️

He might love her, the real question is, does he respect her enough?

Bey married her dad, who treated her mom the same way! I applaud her for fighting for her marriage (her choice); however, I would not continue to waste my time on a serial cheater. Life is too short!

I still can't believe he cheated repeatedly on Beyonce, THE BEYONCE.

So is he ever going to address his eldest daughter? I’m not talking about Blue Ivy.

If this marriage was special, then why hurt her in the first place?

He didn't do any fighting. Bey is the one putting in work. She just wanted the man she loved to love her and only her. Don't give any credit to this fool for having a marriage that Bey allowed to continue.

Sadly when a wife has to face this much trauma and disception and heartbreak she will never ever love that deep again ever. Beyonce use to have a deep school girl gitty love for him he got her at a young age 19 or 20 he was over 30 she was warming up her career and he seen something in her he wanted to have some so he went for it . But sadly he humiliated and embarrassed her while the whole world watched him break her heart and we will never forget 😢 . Smh men have no idea how bad they destroy the deep love we have for them 😢😢😢 im glad he well they got therapy and now it will be a constant battle for life to keep thier new bond and new way of life intact

We just love that you're talking about personal things and that we get to see you 😊

one way to save a marriage is to not sleep around during it .... just a lil tip there buddy

Yeah he had to fight for his marriage because he's the selfish person who tarnished it, that's on him! stop praising him please.

He said hes in the "NEW Illuminati"

Funny how men want woman to stay but I bet if she were to do that he’d be like deuces. Her whole album helped me going through emotions of contemplating divorce

He's a trailblazer for not dumping the wife he cheated on? How low are your standards?

Oh Lord, she deserves a man, not a third child she has to raise...

I appreciate Mr.Carter being candid. I love his statement of "The best apology is changed behavior." Thank you for sharing ur personal struggles. It's one thing to admit to ur wife you've cheated but to admit ur indiscretions to the public is honorable. GOD bless you Mr. & Mrs.Carter. Love from New York! 💛❤️💜♥️💙💚💛❤️

2:23 I wasn’t judging at all until that “I hope” 😂😭

IF BEYONCE IS YOUR SOULMATE, WHY WOULD YOU CHEAT ON YOUR SOULMATE?

I hope he gives her the respect of honesty. As a woman who was betrayed, it wasn't the act that hurt so bad. It was the lying; the dishonesty, and the pain and apprehension it caused. It cuts deep. She stayed with him. She's working to trust him again. I just hope his change is genuine. I hope he feels it in his soul.

Marriage takes work on both sides. If only one party is willing to work, then it's done. The circumstances surrounding the issues determine whether the strength is in staying or leaving.

I'm just thinking, who else can he possibly want??? You can tell by the way Beyonce looks at him, she loves him. She's beautiful and wasn't beyond being pregnant and worrying about her figure. She's successful because she's a hard worker. She's obviously forgiving. Beyonce seems to love her family and grounded. Jay-Z's wife is batting a 100. I know noone is perfect but they are perfect together. Kudos to Jay-Z for owning his part. It takes a real man to do this

This is the first time I've heard Jay-Z speak.

The best apology is changed behavior.

Nobody knows really the ends and outs of their marriage only what they tell us. God bless this marriage forever

I think Beyoncé was the glue.. she’s loved him from day one.. She’s always been grounded as far as marriage was concerned ..Don’t get me wrong. I think Jay z loves her but you can see she’s in love right from their Bonnie and Clyde .. and their marriage works.. they have to work at it like most successful marriages but she’s def the glue that holds them together.. IMO

If she’s your soulmate and you love her That Much then how about don’t cheat on her from the first place?

Him fighting for his marriage was stopping an affair he was having

Well said Great Interview😊

Real men stand for their family and realize what really matters to them. It's what you really want and need if it's real love you confess that love by your actions.

if its your soul mate how could you cheat? I just dont understand men who cheat

It's not the fact that he cheated.. he got caught! He would definitely take his time and cheat again!

Why is he being praised for “saving the marriage” when he’s the one who ruined it lmao. The interviewer said we should follow in his path like no thank you lol

REAL MAN STATUS KEEP UP THE BEAUTIFUL FAMILY

Only weak boys cheat Real men have SELF CONTROL. REMEMBER THE DEVIL HATES LOVE. EVIL WANTS CHAOS.

"Unprecedented" like no one has ever fought for their marriage before.

The end was good 🤣🤣

I know I'm late but this was by far very interesting I enjoyed it

You can tell he ain’t cheating no more he ain’t even grooming no more

He said a bunch of nuthin. He know damn well if she cheated on him, he'd cut her off and make a diss album

JZ didn't feel bad for cheating on B. If he did.. NONE of that would've happened. Makes you wonder how many times has he cheated on B without confessing this one time.. the time he was caught

People are so jealous of Jay. When beyonce got with him they thought she was stupid called her crazy. Called him ugly. I thought they both were smart and he is a boss. She is a boss. I'm so very proud of them botb.

The nerve of this man to cheat on Beyoncé

They created a brand. This marriage will last even if they don't love one another. Is just business.

Why cheat in the first place and then wanting to fight for the marriage?!

At first, I thought he is just trying to save face but after carefully listening to what he had to say, there is truth to what he said. I just hope he is staying faithful.

If you want to be difference than other "black families" then treat her difference and don't cheat. Only difference is she took him back..

Now he’s the spokes person for infidelity.... Give me a break!

This is my first time of hearing him speak🤗. He has a beautiful voice. But he reminds me of Lucious Lyon in EMPIRE💕😻.

Interesting interview

We hear a lot of Jay Z speaking out, I really would love to hear Beyoncé’s view point.

yep Jay z FOUGHT FOR HIS MARRIAGE BUT LETS BE HONEST HE WAS ALSO THE REASON IT BROKE

That's so sweet JZ glad you two stayed with each other

Men have a knack of making other men who have done wrong in their marriages, and made the basic amends, sound like heroes. Van Jones is literally gushing.
