Beyonce sparks rumours she plans to move to ENGLAND – as she's spotted touring 58-acre land in helicopter with Jay Z
It comes after she re-located from her swanky £25K hotel room as another star visited London cotswolds carter? Beyonce sparks rumours she plans to move to ENGLAND – as she's spotted touring 58-acre land in helicopter with Jay Z Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BEYONCE has sparked suggestions she's upping sticks from her Stateside pad and moving to England. The Halo hitmaker, who recently toured her Cowboy Carter gigs in London, has allegedly been seen viewing land in the Cotswolds countryside with rapper husband Jay-Z, 55. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 6 Beyonce has sparked suggestions she's re-locating from the US to the UK Credit: Instagram 6 The Halo hitmaker is said to have taken a helicopter ride over the Cotswolds to view a huge rural pile Credit: Alamy 6 Bey was accompanied by hubby Jay-Z on the trip Credit: Getty Beyonce, 43, reportedly took a helicopter ride with her spouse, with whom she shares three kids, to get a better look at the Oxfordshire pile. The land supposedly spanned 58 acres and a source told The Oxford Mail: "In the past week, Beyonce and Jay-Z flew via helicopter between her London gigs to view a 58-acre plot of land. "Located close to friends Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi, and with Simon Cowell and the Beckhams as neighbours, she felt it would be an ideal UK home for her family, away from the city when they're in the country." Her chopper is reported to have landed at Enstone Airfield, with the visit squeezed in between her London shows. Sources previously told MailOnline the "land and space" offered in the Cotwolds proved a huge draw and previously said: "The wildfires have given them a good reason to look outside of Los Angeles to build new bases. "They will always be based in LA but the UK is on the agenda. "Beyonce loves the UK because they support everything she does." Stars with homes there include the Beckhams and model Kate Moss, 51, while the Sun columnist Jeremy Clarkson, 65, runs a farm and pub. Music star Calvin Harris is also building a rural compound in the area after snapping up three mansions. Earlier this year, Beyonce and Jay-Z were declared the richest celebrity couple — with a combined fortune of £2billion.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z gripped by fear as Diddy's sex trafficking trial nears explosive end: ‘They were living in the same world'
As Sean "Diddy" Combs faces explosive allegations in a federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial that began on May 5, Beyoncé and Jay-Z, his former close aides, are privately navigating a storm of their own. While the couple have not been accused of any wrongdoing, their long-time ties to the hip-hop mogul have left them worried about being pulled into the public fallout. Beyoncé and Jay-Z fear being mentioned in Diddy's trial According to a Daily Mail report, Beyoncé and Jay-Z have been on edge since the trial gained national media attention. Though their names have only surfaced peripherally, the couple are reportedly anxious that their past connections with Diddy could draw them into further controversy. Instagram: Instagram|Jayzz_official 'They were living in the same world as Diddy for a long time,' a source told the publication. 'They didn't do anything wrong, but they really don't want their names associated with the trial.' False party allegations left them furious This is not the first time Bey and Jay have been dragged into the Diddy drama. Back in April, a civil suit claimed the couple had been present at a party where Diddy allegedly assaulted a man. That detail was later debunked by their legal team, who provided proof that Beyoncé and Jay-Z were vacationing in Hawaii at the time. Still, the original claim received wide media coverage, while the correction barely made a dent. 'They were really upset about that,' an insider shared. 'It was an obvious lie, but the damage was already done.' Jay-Z was slammed with a horrific allegation and fought back In another shocking claim, Jay-Z was named in a civil lawsuit last December, filed by attorney Tony Buzbee, who accused him and Diddy of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl at an MTV after-party in 2000. The shocking claim triggered intense media scrutiny, though no criminal charges were filed. Credit: X Jay-Z issued a rare and fiery public statement in response, calling the accusation 'a blackmail attempt' and demanding a criminal complaint if the allegation had any merit. 'These allegations are so heinous in nature that I implore you to file a criminal complaint, not a civil one,' he wrote. Jay-Z also opened up about the personal toll it took on his family, especially on his children. Eventually, the lawsuit was withdrawn. He then filed a defamation and extortion countersuit against the accuser and her legal team. Couple's old ties to Diddy are now under scrutiny Though Beyoncé and Jay-Z have largely kept a low profile during the trial, their historic connection to Diddy hasn't gone unnoticed. From producing music together to sharing tables at Diddy's infamous White Parties, the trio were often seen moving in the same elite circles. In hindsight, those public associations are now being examined more critically, even if the ties were purely professional or social. Credit: X Sources say the couple is now staying vigilant. Each morning begins with scanning the headlines, hoping their names haven't been dragged into the trial again. 'They're used to pressure,' the source said. 'But they're still stressed by this. It just sucks.' Even without charges, the weight of association has proven heavy as Diddy's trial races toward its expected end in early July. Diddy's trial expected to wrap up before July 4 Judge Arun Subramanian recently gave the first concrete update on the trial's timeline, revealing that proceedings are likely to conclude before July 4. Though he didn't share specifics about how that date was determined, the estimate offers a glimpse of when this legal chapter may finally close. Testimonies are expected to resume on Friday, June 20, after a brief pause due to a juror falling ill with vertigo symptoms.

Jay-Z's Wallet Takes An L After Betting $1 Million On The Pacers
Source: Tim Mosenfelder / Getty Jay-Z's playoff gamble just took a hit after the Indiana Pacers beat the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 3 of the NBA Finals, putting the Pacers up 2-1 in the series. The Thunder's loss didn't just hurt their title hopes; it cost Jay a $1 million bet. Before the Finals started, Jay placed a $1 million wager through Fanatics Sportsbook that the Thunder would take down the Pacers in just five games. That prediction is now impossible, with Indiana already winning two games. As a result, Jay's bet is officially a loss. If things had gone his way, the Roc Nation founder would've walked away with over $3 million. But while the loss stings, it's not exactly devastating. Jay is a partner in Fanatics Sportsbook, and he's close friends with its founder, Michael Rubin. The two have worked together on several business deals, including the REFORM Alliance, a criminal justice reform group they launched with other big names. Hov is no stranger to high-stakes gambling either. He's known for throwing invite-only blackjack tournaments, often tied to raising money for REFORM. So while this particular bet didn't go his way, it's more of a blip than a major blow. The Finals are still far from over, and while the Thunder have some work to do, don't expect Jay to stop betting big anytime soon. In other news, Jay-Z and his wife Beyoncé turned their London concert into a family celebration by giving their twins, Rumi and Sir Carter, a special birthday moment. During night four of the Cowboy Carter tour at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on June 12, which happened to be the twins' 8th birthday, Beyoncé paused the show to shine the spotlight on her youngest kids. Even in the middle of a massive world tour, Beyoncé made sure her kids felt the love, from her and Jay for one night.
