The Queen Bey might have given her “beautiful husband” an on-stage shout out as she kicked off her Formation world tour this week, but eagle eyed fans – who are notorious for never missing a trick – were quick to spot that the Crazy in Love singer was rocking the stage without her big ole rock.
The mother-of-one was snapped both backstage and onstage throughout the incredible performance at Marlins Park in Miami, but the stars $6.5 million diamond ring was noticeably absent.
And while some fans believe the ring was removed to prevent damage while she dances up a storm, it wouldn’t explain why her rapper husband’s band was also nowhere to be seen as he watched from the audience.
The timing seems a bit too sensitive, what with the ongoing buzz around the themes of marital infidelity on Bey’s latest album, Lemonade.
“I want to dedicate this song to my beautiful husband,” she said before performing Halo, “I love you so much.”
Jay’s bare ring finger can be clearly made out from a picture taken backstage in which the rapper is having a conversation with DJ Khaled.
Despite the lack of rings, the couple have matching tattoos on their ring fingers to mark the date of their wedding on April 4, 2008.
The A-listers chose a roman numeral for four, IV, which also symbolises Jay’s birthday of December 4, and Beyonce’s on September 4.
Bling! The biggest rock at the back is Bey’s impressive wedding ring but it was nowhere to be seen on the first night of her Formation tour.
The tattoos were seen in the Lemonade footage, however it has been rumoured that the mother-of-one has taken steps to have hers removed, as she was spotted with a bandage over that section of her finger in 2014.
Since then, the ink has faded over time.
It’s been a tumultuous week to say the least for the high-profile pair, who have been dealing with the fallout from the release of Beyonce’s surprise visual album entitled Lemonade.
Along with the gift of our next incredible playlist, the mother-of-one also dropped some very suggestive lyrics in her songs which addressed themes of infidelity regarding her husband of eight years.
Despite the ongoing drama, Beyonce, 34, knows that the happiness of her daughter, Blue Ivy, remains the most important thing. The singer shared this precious new snap with Blue on her website, beyonce.com
“Looking at my watch, he shoulda been home. Today I regret the night I put that ring on. He always got them f—ing excuses. He only want me when I’m not on there. He better call Becky with the good hair,” she says in the telling tune, Sorry.
It was the latter lyric that stood out most to fans, with her devoted fans proceeding to go on a witch-hunt to discover Becky’s identity.
