They are music royalty, a mega-power couple and two of the most wildly-popular stars in the world, but the Jay-Z and Beyoncé split rumors just won’t go away.

For many couples in the spotlight, rumors that they are headed for splitsville seem to emerge in a tabloid headline here and there. But when actions by those celebrities and the people around them suggest some truth, the speculation is fueled and only intensifies.

The rumors of Jay and B splitting up really gained traction after Beyoncé’s younger sister, Solange, had an elevator altercation with her brother-in-law back in May. Reports surfaced then that said the rapper was seen talking to other woman and that is what set B’s sister off, however, those reports were never confirmed.

What was confirmed was that recently during the couple’s On the Run tour Beyoncé changed the lyrics to her song Resentment. The single’s original lyrics are "Been ridin' with you for six years.” At a Cincinnati, Ohio show though the singer changed the lyrics to "Been ridin' with you for 12 years,” which represents how long she and her man have been romantically involved. The change sparked infidelity rumors again.

This tour is said to be the couple’s last and could mean the end of their marriage, but fans are hoping these rumors are untrue and that Blue Ivy’s parents stay together.

Let’s take a look at music’s Top 10 power couples that are making it work.
