Biggest Power Couples in Music (Part 1)

The musical power couples of past and present...

5. Kelis and Nas


Dated For: Two years before marrying in 2005 for four years (2002 - 2009)

It worked because: they are both musical geniuses with a lot to say and they are so successful they only use a first name

Highlight: The birth of their son, Knight

Lowlight: The fact that their son was born after Kelis had filed for divorce

Current Status: Not great is an understatement. They had a very ugly and very public divorce battle and it seems the pair are still bitter over it




4. Rihanna and Chris Brown

Dated For: Hard to say. We know they officially got together in 2008 and have spent the past six years in an on/off relationship

It worked because: Young, attractive, talented, super famous, even more rich and did I mention they're really attractive - picture the children. This is a perfect representation of young love and just how captivating yet destructive it can be.

Highlight: All of the great music they have made together Cake, Umbrella Remix, Nobody's Business

Lowlight: Obviously, the night that Chris beat Riri and ended his good boy image and their seemingly innocent and perfect relationship.

Current Status: Who really knows. They seem to have finally ended all communication and their on/off relationship but, with them, it's never really over.


3. J.Lo and Puff Daddy

Dated For: 2 years (1999-2001)

It worked because: she was the Latina R'n'B princess who made some noughties classics with the help of super-producer Puff Daddy (his name at the time). They were both, and still are, cool, talented and super rich so even though they may seem like an odd pairing at first, most grew to understand and love it.

Highlight: This was when Jennifer and Puff were both at their musical best which is what happens when two superstars support each other.

Lowlight: When Puff got in trouble with the law over a club shooting. In fact, this whole drama could be to blame for the split of J.Lo and Puff.

Current Status: Seemingly, on good terms and maybe even friends but there is definitely no relationship on the cards now that Puff is in a long-term one with stunning singer, Cassie.


2. Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake

Dated For: Almost three years (1999 - 2002)

It worked because: they were perfect for each other. Both Southern teenagers who grew up together on Disney and established massive international pop careers as singers. It was a real fairytale musical pairing and Britney has never looked happier than on JT's arm.

Highlight: Too many. I mean, who can forget their matching all denim look at the 2001 American Music Awards 

Lowlight: Their break-up. It was filled with rumours of cheating and ended with the bittersweet song Cry Me A River

Current Status: Like most ex's after years apart, they haven't spoken in a very long time but there is no bitterness or hard feelings. So we can still dream that maybe one day...


1. Beyonce and Jay-Z


Dated For: It seems the relationship began around late 2002 and they married in 2008 (2002 - present)

It works because: they are Beyonce and Jay-Z, the queen and king of their field, so it only makes sense. They are not only a music power couple, but a business and entertainment power couple who have a firm hold on the throne

Highlight: Crazy in Love, their current On The Run tour or the birth of their baby girl Blue Ivy in 2012

Lowlight: The recent rumours of cheating and divorce

Current Status: They seem more than blissful and I am happy to believe that until I see any strong evidence otherwise
