Beyonce's Cousin addresses Beyonce and Jay-Z's marital issues

According to Beyonce 's cousin, Shanica Knowels, Beyonce and husband Jay Z have endured a number of "silent separations" over the years. The actress claims that the album Lemonade is Beyonce's way of dealing with all the hurt and anger from Jazy's alleged infidelity.
Speaking to heat magazine, she said:

"Beyonce has been encouraged to write about the affair rumours to help her deal with it all and help her determine whether she could work through everything or have to end the marriage. This has been a long process and I've heard they've had to deal with silent separations and splits over the past few years, but Bey is praying this album will actually save her marriage.": "She's been through the intense anger and I think she's now learning to forgive Jay. The next few months are going to be the test - this is make or break for them - but he's determined to do everything she can to make it work."
