Beyoncé and Jay-Z take out marriage licence

Beyoncé Knowles and boyfriend Jay-Z have taken out a marriage license in Scarsdale, N.Y., sources say.

Beyoncé, 26, and Jay-Z, 38, took out the license -- which is valid for 60 days -- on Tuesday morning.

A rep for the former Destiny's Child singer told People.com, "No comment." Jay-Z's spokesperson could not be reached for comment.

The pair have been dating since 2002, and have been reluctant to discuss their relationship publicly.

In December 2006, the 'Crazy in Love' singer told InStyle magazine, "You can't rush a man into anything – whether it's a relationship, marriage or having children."

The couple -- whose romance has been besieged by rumors since the singer appeared on Jay-Z's song "'03 Bonnie & Clyde," followed by collaborations on Beyoncé's solo hit "Crazy In Love," in 2003 -- were reported to be getting wed in the Caribbean -- but the reports were quickly quashed by their reps.
