Mother of legendary rapper Jay-Z, Gloria Carter has tied the knot with longtime lesbian partner Roxanne Wilshire.
The wedding took place on Sunday evening in New York and was, of course, a perfectly star-studded occasion, with Jay Z – real name Shawn Carter – leading the way like a proud son.
He was accompanied by wife Beyonce, 41, who was seen balancing in skyscraper heels while clutching daughter Blue Ivy, 11, for support. The two looked stunning in evening gowns, with the Break My Soul singer accessorizing her peach ensemble with a feather wrap.
They entered the Manhattan venue alongside Beyonce’s mother Tina Knowles-Lawson and the singer’s cousin Angie Beyince, while Julius, her devoted bodyguard, cleared the way.
Jay Z, 53, has openly supported his mother’s sexuality since she came out as homosexual in his 2017 song Smile, which appeared on his album 4:44. Gloria spent years hiding her sexual orientation while raising four children, according to the Grammy-winning musician.
He also expressed his joy when she met a partner, most likely alluding to Roxanne.
