Jay Z finally admitted to cheating on Beyonce in a bombshell interview last week.
And the two A-listers worked hard to stay together for the sake of their family according to a new report.
The 36-year-old singer and 48-year-old rapper struggled to put on a united front but did so for the sake of their daughter Blue Ivy Carter a source told People on Tuesday.

‘It took Beyonce a long time to trust again. She was struggling to move on and forgive. But keeping her family together was very important.’
Though there was a deep fracture in their relationship, it seems like their parenting duties kept Beyonce and Jay Z together.

Jay told the NYT that: ‘You have to survive. So you go into survival mode, and when you go into survival mode, what happens? You shut down all emotions. So, even with women, you gonna shut down emotionally, so you can’t connect. … In my case, like, it’s deep. And then all the things happen from there: infidelity,’ he said.
He has never named the woman he cheated with. Beyonce has called her ‘Becky with the good hair.’
First she touched on his straying on Lemonade; then he addressed it on 4:44.

But he said that it was not planned that way and they were actually going to do a joint album.
Jay said to the NYT: ‘You know, most people walk away, and, like, divorce rate is like 50 percent or something ’cause most people can’t see themselves.’
Adding: ‘The hardest thing is seeing pain on someone’s face that you caused, and then have to deal with yourself.’
