Beyonce seems to have hit back at claims she is considering ending her six-year marriage to Jay Z by posting a family photo on Instagram today in a show of solidarity.
The Love on Top singer seems to be on an endless damage control campaign after months of constant scrutiny over the state of her relationship to the Magna Carta rapper.

Just days after the power couple were reported to be considering separating after they have completed their joint On The Run tour, Bey attempted to defuse the rumours by Instagramming a family photo of herself, Jay Z and daughter Blue Ivy looking more united than ever.
In the telling snap posted earlier today (July 22), Beyonce and Jay Z can been seen playfully lifting two-year-old Blue as they prepare to cross a street. Beyonce chose not to accompany the image with a caption, letting their clear bond do all the talking.
Last week, the married pair were subjected to more rumours of a pending split when it is was claimed the two are trying to end their marriage without divorcing.

"They are trying to figure out a way to split without divorcing . . . This is a huge concert tour and they've already gotten most of the money from the promoters up front," an insider told the New York Post's Page Six.
"There are no rings, if you haven't noticed," they said, adding that the pair believed their marriage problems would disappear after the arrival of daughter Blue in 2011.
"For just a split moment, things got real for them and she was even talking about adding to the family. But, after a while, Jay was out doing Jay and Bey was out doing Bey. They made the classic mistake of thinking a child would change everything and help to rekindle the initial fire, and it didn't," the source added.

In a last-ditch attempt to salvage their marriage, Beyonce and Jay Z were reported to have been having regular online therapy sessions in between their tour.
A source told The Mirror: "They have known their therapist for a long time and try to have weekly sessions just to keep communication open and make sure there are no misunderstandings.
"It's about maintenance rather than trying to fix anything hugely wrong. They are both happy and their daughter, Blue Ivy, remains their absolute priority."

The couple's rock solid relationship first began to unravel after Beyonce's sister Solange was caught attacking her brother-in-law, Jay Z, after the Met Ball in a lift at The Standard Hotel.
Rumours soon followed that the 44-year-old had cheated with multiple women during his marriage, including allegations he hooked up with Rachel Roy and the singer Mya - who took to Twitter to strenuously deny the claims.
