‘4’

It’s a number that has become synonymous with Pop force Beyonce.

Indeed, beyond her Platinum-selling album of the same name, the number represents the day of her birthday, that of her mother, as well as that of husband Jay-Z. It also serves as the day in April when she tied the knot with the music mogul.

So as to celebrate the occasion (and in time for her upcoming new project *all will be revealed in time*), the singer is prepping a new Tumblr account – which feature intimate snaps of her and her hubby.
