SCARSDALE, N.Y. - A village clerk in Scarsdale, N.Y., says a marriage licence for singer Beyonce Knowles and rap mogul Jay-Z has been filed with the state.
The licence is dated April 4 and signed by the person who officiated at the wedding.
The licence was received by mail last Friday.
The celebrities and their representatives have refused to confirm widespread rumours about the marriage.
But there was a lavish party at Jay-Z's Manhattan apartment April 4, with guests including Gwyneth Paltrow and Beyonce's former Destiny's Child bandmates, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams.
The couple have been dating for about six years.
The 26-year-old Knowles and 38-year-old Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, have collaborated on the songs "03 Bonnie and Clyde'' and "Crazy In Love.''
