Producer Jesse Collins previously explained in an interview that Jay-Z has the final say on who performs, stating, “It’s a decision that Jay makes. Since we’ve been onboard with that show, he’s made it every year, and it’s been amazing. He’s always picked right.”

Jay-Z and Beyonce enjoy Super Bowl LX with family

Jay-Z and his wife Beyonce, who began their relationship in 2000 and married in 2008, are known for keeping their family life private. However, they have made more public appearances with their children in recent years.

Along with daughters Blue Ivy Carter and Rumi Carter, the couple also shares a son, Sir Carter.

Their Super Bowl appearance followed a family trip to the Las Vegas Grand Prix in late 2025, where they spent time with Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton.

At the Super Bowl, the family watched as the Seattle Seahawks faced the New England Patriots, continuing their tradition of enjoying the biggest night in football together.
