As rumors of divorce swirl, super-couple Jay Z and Beyonce visited the south of France to celebrate the former Destiny's Child singer's birthday.
Beyonce turned 33 on Thursday, an occasion she marked with a Throwback Thursday photo that shows her looking strikingly like daughter Blue Ivy.

Before whisking his family away to Corsica, Jay Z posted a 33 second video message to mark his wife's birthday.
The video is a quick cut of concert preparation set to raid beat changes punctuated by Jay Z's voice. It closes with the hip hop mogul wishing Beyonce a happy birthday as only Jay Z can, yelling "Yeah, B!" over an image of Beyonce smiling with no further message.
Devoted Beyonce fans had their own ways of celebrating the Diva's birth, with one especially enthusiastic fan declaring an excused absence from her classes at Towson University and telling her professor "Beyonce loves you so bow down."

As for the their marriage, an anonymous source close to the Carters told E! Online that the unofficial king and queen of America are doing just fine.
"They've had their problems, but they're still solid. Going away for Beyonce's birthday in September is a tradition they have. It's a chance to get some quality time together and relax far from worries about their crazy work schedules."
