They will not tell us when they started dating but we guess it was somewhere between the making of Bonnie and Cylde and Crazy in Love.  Back then, the couple seemed like any other inevitable Hollywood hook up: two hot stars meet on the set of their work project, play lovers or a role that requires chemisty and then hit it off in real life for a fling that lasts a few months.

The Carters turn out to have been the real deal: Jay Z says he had to impress and court Beyonce. They got married in 2008. We have been loving the Carters ever since: they’re hot and powerful ; crazy and drunk in love.

Here are some fo our favourite moments in the life and times of Mr and Mrs Carter.

How cute this picture? Beyonce shared it on her Tumblr last year. We love that the previously strict couple has relaxed their privacy rules and are letting the world in on the beautiful, simple moments they have.

A hip hop King + the queen of pop = some of the best moments from live shows and concerts. The Carters were creatively partners first. They still collaborate on songs and perform together as much as possible.  This picture has taken at the London leg of the Mrs Carter world tour in February 2014.

Nothing says ultimate power couple like this moment at the second inaguration of Barack Obama. The Carters held a fund-raiser for President Obama; and then took centre stage at the inaguration as part of the V.V.I.P guestlist.

The Grammy Awards 2014: Jay Z wins an award for best rap songs and tells the world he wants to thank God a little for his award “but also all the universe for conspiring and for putting that beautiful light of a young lady in my life.” The light in his speech is Beyonce.

The couple became parents two years ago, which resulted in moments like this, when they’re just proud parents to their daughter Blue Ivy.Is it any wonder that she calls him her foundation, and that he says he woudl not be the man he is today if he did not go home to Beyonce?
