Michael Jackson Wanted to Marry Beyoncé

Michael Jackson was married twice but never, to his chagrin, to Beyoncé. According to Jackson’s former bodyguard, Matt Fiddes, the pop star sought out Beyoncé whenever he could. He said that Jackson had a crush on Beyoncé and would have married her.

Fiddes got to know Jackson well while working as his bodyguard. He claimed that Jackson had a crush on both Beyoncé and Princess Diana.

“He loved Beyoncé,” he told The Art of Dialogue. “He wanted to marry Beyoncé. Beyoncé or Princess Diana.”

Fiddes said that Jackson intentionally tried to be close to Beyoncé whenever he could. He wanted her to present him with awards and attend the same parties as him.

“Whenever he was asked to be given an award, he would always say, ‘Well, if Beyoncé gives it, then it’s okay,’” he said. “And if we heard she was at a party, we would turn up. In the hope that he would catch her, you know?”

Fiddes recalled a time that they went to one of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ infamous parties because he heard she was there. When they arrived and realized she wasn’t there anymore, they immediately left. 

While nothing ever happened between Jackson and Beyoncé, Fiddes said that she was a good friend to Jackson. They spoke often.

“She used to call,” he said, adding, “She was a good friend to him. She used to call all the time. But yeah, he liked Beyoncé a lot.”
