Divorce rumors continue to surround Beyoncé and her rapper husband Jay Z. The couple, who tied the knot in 2008, is rumored to be nearing breaking point, according to some publications, although the couple has largely risen above the split rumors and have appeared in public many times appearing happy and showing there are no problems.

Some media rumors have even claimed that Beyoncé is upset with Jay Z's alleged affairs with his protégés like Rihanna and Rita Ora - although some of those rumors stem from reports years back now, and have always remained unverified. 

Frustrated over persistent rumors that she is involved in a physical relation with Jay Z, Rita Ora opened up in April refuting all allegations. The rumors started making the rounds since she began singing with Jay'Z's Roc Nation in 2009.

In an interview with Power 105.1's "Breakfast Club," Ora, who is currently dating music producer Calvin Harris, said, "Don't you dare disrespect Beyoncé like that ever again in your entire life," the 23-year-old singer warned. "You should know better than that. ... That's just straight-up disrespect. You can't even go there."

Popular belief regards Beyoncé and Jay Z's private relationship as very close and one of the best in the music industry. However, this does not mean that they have been without ups and downs. Recently, Life & Style magazine claimed that Beyoncé is "destroyed by his cheating" and their divorce drama is exploding as she "finally learned the truth about being left alone night after night."

On the other hand, a British tabloid has a different version of the story. It claims that Jay Z is contemplating divorcing Beyoncé following rumors that the singer has been cheating on him with her bodyguard Julius De Boer.

The tabloid quotes sources saying, "Jay definitely thinks that there was and may still be something romantic going on between Bey and Julius."

The sources went on to add, "He wanted to fire Julius last February, but Beyoncé said, 'Julius isn't going anywhere.'"

"They've spent a lot of time together behind closed doors," the tabloid quoted a source.

However, once again those allegations of cheating are at the moment, entirely unverified.

The couple will be going on their first joint tour "On The Run" together this summer.
