Beyoncé’s love story could’ve had a totally different soundtrack — she was actually torn between Jay-Z and another guy back in the day, and had to bring in her mama for some decision-making.
It was the singer’s mom, Tina Knowles, who spilled the tea in her new memoir “Matriarch,” revealing that while Beyoncé was bonding with Jay-Z over the phone back in the day, she was also juggling another guy in the industry at the same time.
Tina elaborated … saying Bey and Jay were giving each other solid advice about the industry in 2001, and as their phone chats kept going, their friendship started to run deeper.

Tina straight-up asked her which one she liked more … and she could tell Beyoncé was thinking it over before finally settling on Jay.
Beyoncé and Jay got married in 2008, have three kids, and seem super happy together — looks like Bey definitely made the right call!
