From early collaborations like "'03 Bonnie & Clyde" and "Crazy in Love" to later ventures like their On The Run tours and joint album Everything is Love, Beyoncé and Jay-Z have cemented themselves as one of music's most powerful couples. First meeting in the late '90s, the pair became close collaborators throughout the 2000s and confirmed their relationship in 2004. Four years later, Beyoncé and Jay-Z got married in an intimate New York City ceremony, opting to get matching "IV" tattoos instead of rings. The number holds significance for the couple as Beyoncé's birthday is September 4, Jay-Z's December 4, and their wedding was on April 4. As the Carters continue to keep their personal lives private with their children Blue Ivy, Rumi, and Sir Carter, L'OFFICIEL celebrates Jay-Z's 53rd birthday with the couple's sweetest throwback moments.
