William Shakespeare, in the opening of "Twelfth the Night," wrote, "If music be the food of love, play on." And so when music and love collide, a strong bond is formed.
Several pairs in the music industry found their harmony with each other having their hearts beat as one. Take a look at these six thriving power couples who create beautiful music together until now.
Jay-Z and Beyoncé
The ultimate superpower couple, Shawn Carter, best known as Jay-Z and Beyoncé Knowles, has been married since 2008 and has three children, Blue Ivy and twin brothers, Rumi and Sir. Their 12-year union gave the couple a combined net worth of $1.4 billion, according to Forbes. Hov and Bey's best collaborative works include "Crazy in Love," "Drunk in Love," "Déja Vu," and "03 Bonnie and Clyde." The most powerful couple had its share of high profile controversies when Jay-Z admitted to infidelity. Queen Bey had put a shade on his cheating on some of the lyrics from her album "Lemonade." Their relationship could have started as teenage love when they met up for the first time. Kaseem Dean, his real name, was 16, and Alicia Augello-Cook, then 14 were introduced through a common friend. Keys, in her new autobiographical book "More Myself," admitted she never liked the young man at that time. Maturity caught up with them, and the two found themselves working together for a music project. The more time they spent with each other led them to the altar in 2010 and a baby boy in the same year. Keys gave birth to another son in 2014. The low-profile couple came up together with songs "Waiting for Your Love" and "International Party." Country music royalty McGraw and Hill started their relationship on the right foot - singing. Hill was the opening act in McGraw's 1996 concert tour, and the two went on a whirlwind romance that led them to a wedding in the same year. Their almost 24 years of marriage gave them three daughters. In 2017, the power couple celebrated their 20 years of togetherness with a first joint album, "The Rest Of Our Lives." Brooks and Yearwood have known each other since 1997 due to a demo recording. The country music power couple tied the knot in 2005 after both of them came out from their divorces. The couple went on tour together and now has a worth of $430 million, Yearwood is a stepmother to Brooks' three daughters from a previous marriage who are very close to her. Several of their duets are "In Another's Eyes," "Love Will Always Win," and "Whiskey to Wine." The unlikely couple met in 2006 in American Idol, where Foster mentored her and the other contestants. She was then 22 years old; Foster was 56. She ended as a runner-up on the competition. Foster produced her first single, the cover of "Somewhere Over The Rainbow." In July 2018, McPhee announced her engagement to the producer-songwriter, and they got married on June 28, 2019. During the quarantine period, the couple did several episodes of the "The Kat and Dave Show" that were streamed over by viewers at home. It was in 2014 when Gwen Stefani joined "The Voice" as one of the judges together with Shelton, who had been on the panel for quite some time. Both were still with their married partners, but in 2015, they filed for divorce, respectively, that made them grow closer. Their official announcement as a dating couple was in February 2016, where they walked together on the red carpet at the Oscars After Party. Shelton and Stefani released their first single "Go Ahead and Break My Heart," which they co-wrote in May 2016. In February 2020, their love duet "Nobody But You" was out in the market. Early this month, the couple was reported to have bought a $13M mansion in Encino, Los Angeles.Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys
