Gloria Carter, mother of music icon Jay-Z, exchanged vows with her partner of nearly a decade, Roxanne Wilshire, in a glamorous wedding ceremony on Sunday night. The couple sealed their commitment in the same New York penthouse apartment where Jay-Z and Beyoncé celebrated their own wedding 15 years ago, adding a sentimental touch to the celebration.
In attendance were numerous celebrities, including Tyler Perry, Kelly Rowland, Robin Roberts, Corey Gamble, and Tina Knowles, Beyoncé’s mother. The bridal party was graced by none other than Beyoncé herself, accompanied by her daughters Suri and Blue Carter, who proudly served as Gloria’s bridesmaids, reinforcing the family’s strong bond.
Jay-Z, a global music sensation, boasts a remarkable career with over 140 million records sold worldwide. His unparalleled success includes an impressive collection of 24 Grammy Awards, tying with Kanye West for the most Grammy wins by a rapper. Jay-Z holds the record for the most number-one albums by a solo artist on the Billboard 200 chart. Additionally, he has been honored with the NAACP’s President’s Award, a Primetime Emmy Award, and a Sports Emmy Award. Notably, he was the first rapper inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the first solo living rapper to enter the esteemed Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Billboard and Rolling Stone have both recognized Jay-Z as one of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time, and Time magazine included him on its list of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2013.
The wedding of Gloria Carter and Roxanne Wilshire represents a joyous milestone in their long-standing relationship, as they formalize their union surrounded by loved ones. The choice to marry in the cherished penthouse, where Jay-Z and Beyoncé began their journey as a married couple, adds an extra layer of significance to the memorable occasion.
