Scarsdale - A village clerk in Scarsdale, New York says a marriage licence for singer Beyonce Knowles and rap mogul Jay-Z is being filed with the state.
The licence is dated April 4 and signed by the person who officiated at the wedding.
The licence was received by mail last Friday.
The celebrities and their representatives had refused to confirm widespread rumours about the marriage.
But there was a lavish party at Jay-Z's Manhattan apartment on April 4, with guests including Gwyneth Paltrow and Beyonce's former Destiny's Child bandmates, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams.
The couple have apparently been dating for six years.
The 26-year-old Knowles and 38-year-old Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, have collaborated on the songs 03 Bonnie and Clyde and Crazy In Love.
