It all comes down to an important detail in one of Queen Bey’s flawless-as-usual [snaps posted to her website](http://www.beyonce.com/vault/) documenting the European leg of her _Formation_ world tour. While Bey poses casually in an elevator, the person behind the camera is revealed, reflected in the mirror. And it turns out that it’s Jay Z himself who’s behind this (and, we presume, many more) classically perfect image. The title of the pic? “MY LIFE.” > [](https://twitter.com/XLNB/status/757981964695588864) So now we know: not only is [Jay a supportive spouse](http://time.com/4310813/beyonce-dedicated-halo-to-jay-z-formation-world-tour/?iid=sr-link9), but he’s clearly also an excellent candid photographer, making him [the perfect Instagram husband ](http://www.people.com/article/instagram-husbands-tell-their-stories-in-video)— a holy grail of qualities that most prolific users of the photo-sharing app can only dream of finding combined in one partner. Not to mention that Jay Z’s mirror-selfie form is on point. Meanwhile in Paris, the couple [remain the picture of marital bliss](http://www.vogue.com/13462051/beyonce-jay-z-date-night-knit-dressing-celebrity-street-style/?mbid=social%5Ftwitter). ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4429013/finally-theres-proof-that-jay-z-is-the-perfect-instagram-husband-behind-beyonces-flawless-pictures/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4429013/finally-theres-proof-that-jay-z-is-the-perfect-instagram-husband-behind-beyonces-flawless-pictures/"},"headline":"Finally, There's Proof that Jay Z Is the Perfect Instagram Husband Behind Beyoncé's Flawless Pictures","datePublished":"2016-07-28T18:18:26.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:34:54.019Z","description":"The power couple shows how it's done","url":"https://time.com/4429013/finally-theres-proof-that-jay-z-is-the-perfect-instagram-husband-behind-beyonces-flawless-pictures/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Entertainment","celebrities","Beyonce","Jay-z"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4429013/finally-theres-proof-that-jay-z-is-the-perfect-instagram-husband-behind-beyonces-flawless-pictures/","name":"Finally, There's Proof that Jay Z Is the Perfect Instagram Husband Behind Beyoncé's Flawless Pictures"}}]}] ```
