Beyoncé has reportedly scrapped plans to divorce Shawn 'Jay Z' Carter after discovering she is pregnant with their second child.

According to a article published in 23 June edition of Life & Style magazine, the Single Ladies star had been preparing to end her six-year marriage to the rapper following recent reports of infidelity.

Not only has Jay Z been linked to a number of women but it had been suggested that Beyoncé's sister Solange Knowles thinks she deserves better.

"Beyoncé knows everything about what's going on with Jay-Z and other women - and she knows most of it from Solange," a source revealed to Life & Style about the celebrity couple. "Solange is pushing Beyonce to get divorced."

But despite there being trouble in paradise, the mother-of-one is allegedly keen to make things work for the sake of her growing family.

"It's been really rocky for them," a source previously told Life & Style magazine.

"Beyoncé is extremely careful about her image, and everything she does is thought out and planned. She is obsessed with them appearing as the perfect family."

The baby claims come as Beyoncé continues to deal with the fallout of her sister's attack on the 99 Problems star in a lift after the Met Gala.

In the footage leaked by TMZ, Knowles is seen kicking and punching her brother-in-law in a lift at the Standard Hotel while Beyoncé fails to intervene.

Earlier this week, female rapper LIV claimed Knowles has always suspected that the hip hop star had a roving eye ever since she caught Jay Z chatting her up at Nobu in Miami in 2008.

"Solange was upset when she saw him talking to me," she said.

The Carters are yet to respond to these allegations.
