Following rumours that there’s trouble for power couple Beyoncé and Jay-z, it is rumoured that Beyoncé has been house hunting alone.

The singer is adding fuel to the rumours that she and husband Jay are on the rocks, after she was spotted viewing a property in Manhattan last month, without Jay’s knowledge.

A source told the New York Post’s Page Six column: "She was very quiet, as if she was looking on the sly."

The couple currently live in a plush pad in Tribeca, New York, with two-year-old daughter Blue Ivy, and the inside source believes that Jay-Z would be reluctant to downsize.

The source said: "I can say with certainty that Jay is not downsizing."

The news of Beyonce’s house-hunting comes as rumours surrounding the state of the couple’s marriage grow.

Despite being in the midst of their joint On the Run tour, sources close to the couple say that there may be truth to the rumours.

"Knowing them as I do, obviously there's a little something to certain reports. When your man or your woman isn't getting it done for you, and I'm talking emotionally, not necessarily sexually...they keep things quiet."
