PICTURES: Beyoncé and Jay Z Have Renewed Their Wedding Vows

In line with many of the stories churned out by this past summer's tabloid rumor mill, People magazine says that Beyoncé and Jay Z dealt with some "major problems" in recent months. But they've worked it all out, apparently, so much so that they've even renewed their wedding vows. Hopefully this meant there was also some renewed wedding cake too. Because that's always nice.

A source tells the magazine that, while the couple's relationship can still be "strained" at times, they "worked it out for [the sake of] their reputations and for Blue Ivy." (But hopefully not in that order.) And the source furthered rumors thatthey're working on a new album together also; a collaborative record is "in the works."

Oh, and Bey and Jay are also currently house hunting in Paris, having viewed a number of apparently extravagant pads across the City of Love. And that in itself is a sign that things are happier in the Knowles-Carter household, because house hunting is all sorts of stressful (even when you can basically afford any mega mansion on the market) and not worth doing at all if you're not in the best possible frame of mind. Otherwise, you know, you start fighting over the marble tub in the maid's en suite bathroom and before you know it, divorce papers are flying.
