This is the life of the 'Instagram husband', a term which came to prominence late last year, which describes a man who spends much of his time taking pictures of the woman in his life for her social media presence.
But, as a recently released picture of Beyonce and Jay Z reveals, the 'Instagram husband' label can be slapped on anyone, no matter how famous they are.
The picture, which was posted to the singer's website on Tuesday under the headline "My Life", shows Beyonce posing in an elevator lift, while her husband is reflected in the lift mirror holding a camera to take a photo.
While Bey is impeccably dressed, Jay Z appears to be wearing a relatively plain striped polo shirt with beige trousers.
The photo has attracted quite a response on social media.
