Beyonce Knowles is glad that she waited until she was 26 to marry Jay-Z.
The pop star believes she had time to "get to know" herself before she became a wife. The Crazy In Love hitmaker wed the hip-hop star in a secret ceremony earlier this year.
Beyonce has been quoted as saying: "I was 18 when we first met, 19 when we first started dating. There was no rush. I really don't believe that you will love the same thing when you're 20 as you do at 30."
"Before the age of 25, I would never get married. I feel like you have to get to know yourself, know what you want, spend some time by yourself, and be proud of who you are before you can share that with someone else," adds Knowles.
