Jay-Z and Beyonce have bought their first house as husband and wife - in the same New York county that they wed in last month.

The newlyweds exchanged vows in a private ceremony at a chapel in Scarsdale Village in Westchester County on April 4th, before holding a reception at the rapper’s luxury penthouse apartment in the TriBeCa area of New York City.

And the stars have now decided to call Scarsdale home, after purchasing a modern colonial property measuring 15,000 square-feet in the quiet community, according to TMZ.

Beyonce and Jay-Z refused to tell the world about their marriage - because they want to keep their relationship free of “tabloid drama”.

The Crazy In Love star wed rapper Jay-Z on April 4th in New York, although neither of the newlyweds spoke out to confirm the happy news - until now.

And Knowles insists her reluctance to share details of their nuptials stems from their desire to steer clear of media scrutiny.

She says, “I don’t deny it (the wedding). I just don’t talk about it. We’ve never talked about us and it’s kind of protected our relationship. I think it’s kept us out of tabloid drama. A lot of actresses that have had successful relationships don’t talk about them, so neither do I.”

The marriage license has been filed – as People first reported last month – but Kelly Rowland is still playing coy when it comes to Beyoncé Knowles’ hush-hush wedding to Jay-Z.

The singer – a founding member of Destiny’s Child – was in London Wednesday night promoting her remix album, Miss Kelly: Diva Deluxe.

But she could not be tempted to discuss her BFF’s April 4 wedding, which she attended.

“I just spoke to Beyoncé last night, and she is very happy,” said Rowland, who is already hard at work on her third solo album.

So married life is treating Knowles well? “How do you know there’s been a wedding?” she replied playfully. “This is something you need to ask Beyoncé and Jay.”

Coldplay’s Chris Martin has spoken out in defense of the decision to choose Jay-Z as a Glastonbury headliner.

The singer told BBC Radio 1 that he could not understand why the rapper was causing such controversy.

Jay-Z’s scheduled appearance on the Pyramid Stage on June 28th has attracted much criticism, with some people even blaming him for slow ticket sales.

However, Martin, who along with his wife Gwyneth Paltrow was a guest at Jay-Z’s recent wedding to Beyonce, has stated that he thinks the performance will be exactly what the festival needs.

“We recently came back to England to find all this all this hoo-hah, grandpas complaining about things they don’t know about,” he continued.

“Coldplay not playing and Jay-Z playing is exactly what needs to happen for the world. He’s the best rapper in the world.”

He even went so far as to call the rapper, whose hits include 99 Problems, “the best musician on the planet”.

Chris’s wife Gwyneth has also spoken out in defence of her musician pal, saying that he will “knock it out of the park”.

The couple has refused to speak about their wedding ceremony, which took place in Westchester, New York on Friday, followed by a reception at the rapper’s downtown New York apartment.

Jay-Z added to the confusion on Monday when he was photographed without a wedding ring.

But concertgoers at the rapper’s concert in Atlanta, Georgia on Tuesday night spotted an impressive gem on Knowles’ left ring finger, as she partied with pal Usher in the V.I.P. area.
