Beyonce and Jay-Z file wedding licence

Beyonce Knowles and rapper Shawn 'Jay-Z' Carter have confirmed their marriage by filing their wedding licence in Scarsdale, New York.

The superstar couple, who began dating in 2002, was widely reported to have exchanged nuptials on April 4, but neither star has yet to publicly acknowledge they are man and wife - even refusing to wear wedding rings when out in public.
