For better or for worse.
Beyoncé plans to remain united with her husband, Jay-Z, after he was accused of raping a 13-year-old girl at a party with Sean “Diddy” Combs in 2000. Both rappers have vehemently denied the allegations.
“She’s sticking by Jay, as evidenced by last night’s family outing,” a source exclusively tells Page Six, referring to the Carters hitting the red carpet for the “Mufasa: The Lion King” premiere Monday evening.
The “Dreamgirls” actress, 43, “has no intention of leaving Jay-Z,” a second insider tells us, noting that Beyoncé “wholeheartedly believes him” and is “supporting him throughout” this ordeal.
“[The Carters are] a team and will face this situation together,” the source adds.

14 One insider notes that Beyoncé also “has no intention of canceling” her highly anticipated halftime show on Christmas Day amid her husband’s legal woes.
The singer is slated to perform songs from “Cowboy Carter” during halftime of the NFL game between the Baltimore Ravens and the Houston Texans at NRG Stadium in Texas on Dec. 25.
“Rehearsals have been and continue to be underway,” the source tells us.
Reps for Jay-Z and Beyoncé did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.

14 Over the weekend, Jay-Z’s name was amended into an October lawsuit from a woman who accused him and Combs of raping her at a house party following the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards.
The plaintiff — who goes by Jane Doe in the docs obtained by Page Six — alleged that Jay-Z and Combs both raped her as an unnamed female celebrity watched.
After the allegations surfaced, Jay-Z, 55, denied the claims and accused the victim’s lawyer, Tony Buzbee, of trying to “blackmail” him.
Combs, also 55, shut down the allegations via his legal team, telling Page Six: “Mr. Combs has full confidence in the facts and the integrity of the judicial process. In court, the truth will prevail: that Mr. Combs never sexually assaulted or trafficked anyone — man or woman, adult or minor.”

14 This wouldn’t be the first Beyoncé as stuck by her husband’s side as she and the Roc Nation founder have had their fair share of ups and downs within their 16-year marriage.
While the couple has kept most of their union intensely private, the public noticed that issues may have been mounting behind the scenes when Beyoncé’s sister, Solange Knowles, violently attacked Jay-Z while they were in an elevator together.
The Carters and the “Cranes In The Sky” singer, 38, were attending a 2014 Met Gala afterparty at Boom Boom Room when she punched and kicked the billionaire rapper as her big sister stood by and watched, according to video footage obtained by TMZ at the time.
While the family kept details about why the fight started on the down low, Beyoncé spoke out about the brawl on her 2015 Nicki Minaj-assisted track, “Flawless (Remix).”

14 “We escalate, up in this bitch like elevators / Of course sometimes s–t go down / When it’s a billion dollars on an elevator,” she sang.
Rumors about possible infidelity on Jay-Z’s end then surfaced following the release of the mom of three’s smash album “Lemonade” in 2016.
In several of the tracks, Beyoncé seemingly confirmed that her husband had cheated on her during their marriage.
“Looking at my watch, he shoulda been home,” the 32-time Grammy winner sang in her hit song “Sorry” from the album. “Today I regret the night I put that ring on / He always got them f–king excuses.”

14 And on “Don’t Hurt Hurt Yourself,” she sang, “You know I give you life / If you try this s–t again, you gonna lose your wife.”
Jay-Z also got candid about their marriage woes on his project “4:44,” which was released in June 2017.
“And if my children knew, I don’t even know what I would do / If they ain’t look at me the same, I would prolly die with all the shame,” he rapped on the title track. “’You did what with who?’ / What good is a ménage à trois when you have a soulmate / ‘You risked that for Blue?’”
In November 2017, the “Big Pimpin’” emcee publicly admitted to cheating on Beyoncé during an interview with the New York Times.

14 “You have to survive. So you go into survival mode, and when you go into survival mode, what happens? You shut down all emotions,” he told the outlet, citing a difficult childhood that prompted him to isolate himself.
“So even with women, you gonna shut down emotionally, so you can’t connect … In my case, like, it’s deep. And then all the things happen from there: infidelity.”
Throughout all of their marital woes, the Carters stuck by each other’s side and released a joint album, “Everything Is Love,” in 2018.
In the song “Love Happy,” Beyoncé hinted that they renewed their vows following the affair.
