During the 2020s, Beyonce's public interviews have been few and far between. In order to look back at Beyoncé and her candid thoughts during interviews, fans have to go back to the early 2000s and into the 2010s. That's exactly what we're going to do in the following, taking a look back at Beyoncé's interview alongside Oprah Winfrey.
Beyoncé hasn't said much about her relationship to Jay-Z, and she credits exactly that as a major reason as to why the two enjoy remarkable longevity. We'll take a look at what Beyoncé has said about her time with Jay-Z, and what changed, if anything, after they got married.
In addition, we'll reveal the quote the set Oprah's fans into an applause, while the host herself also had a fond appreciation for Beyoncé's outlook. It was a great moment as Beyoncé reminds women how important their self-worth really is, even when marriage comes along.
When they were dating and got married, nothing changed for both Jay-Z and Beyoncé when it came to exposing their relationship to the public. Both sides have always kept things quiet, and in turn, this was a major part of their success as a couple.
"Jay and I have always been very discreet when it comes to our relationship. Even after we got married nothing changed about that. I think that saved us a lot of trouble."
Beyoncé would go on to admit that she never felt pressure to get married and in fact, it was very much the opposite. Beyoncé wanted to take her time and make sure she was ready for the next step.
“No one expected me to run off and get married. I really don’t believe that you will love the same thing when you’re 20 as you do at 30. So that was my rule: Before the age of 25, I would never get married. I feel like you have to get to know yourself, know what you want, spend some time by yourself, and be proud of who you are before you can share that with someone else."
Beyoncé truly has a refreshing take on marriage, and that held true during her interview with Oprah. A particular line received lots of applause from both the host and audience.
As expected, Oprah asked Beyoncé about her relationship to Jay-Z at the time. Oprah wondered if the label of wife felt better than girlfriend. However, the artist has a different mindset when it comes to the label. Her response received a huge reaction from both the host and fans on-hand for the interview.
When asked about being a wife over a girlfriend, Beyonce said, "It feels great, but you can have your own life before your someone else's wife." Oprah responds, "Yes," while extending her hand.
A great moment between the two, though Beyoncé made it clear that Jay-Z did change her life for the better.
“I would not be the woman I am if I did not go home to that man. It just gives me such a foundation,” Beyoncé told Oprah. "He has helped me on so many levels ... just to have someone that you just like is so important. And someone that is honest.”
The two continue on these days with their same principles, keeping the relationship quiet, while Beyoncé herself rarely appears in interviews. However, she is giving others advice and feedback relating to interviews with Oprah, including Meghan Markle.
According to Meghan Markle, Beyoncé herself had reached out following her interview with Oprah. Beyoncé offered some great advice, and spoke highly of Markle's courage to take on such a platform.
"Thank you Meghan for your courage and leadership. We are all strengthened and inspired by you," the artist wrote.
Beyoncé texted to check in, while Markle was just shocked she knew about her.
Markle reacted to the moment with joy, "She said she wants me to feel safe and protected. She admires and respects my bravery and vulnerability and thinks I was selected to break generational curses that need to be healed."
As for Beyoncé, interviews seem to be a thing of the past given that the artist appreciates the privacy in her personal life. Like other celebs, Beyoncé doesn't like her words getting twisted around during interviews. If she is to speak out, the artist usually chooses to do see with a personal essay, and it is rare that she'll actually agree to a sit down on camera at this point in her career.
