It looks like that supposed divorce is off for Jay Z and Beyoncé.

The couple spent the entire summer touring while being dogged by rumors that one of them would be pulling the plug on their marriage as soon as they came off the road. Instead, the two have been spotted house hunting for a mansion in the Los Angeles area, and it seems Jay and Bey may have already found their new dream home.

Apparently, the couple plunked down $200,000 for a months' rent on a Holmby Hills estate they are now contemplating buying. The price tag? A cool $45 million, which is pocket change for these two.

The newly built, 16,000-square-foot mansion has three levels and 6,500 square feet of patio/terrace space. It is built on 1.3 acres that overlook a hillside. The house includes a glass-walled living room that open on two sides. There are also two libraries, a formal dining room, a catering kitchen, a wine cellar, a home theater, a fitness center, seven bedrooms and 8.5 bathrooms. Outside there is an infinity pool, tennis courts and fountains.

That house is a steal compared to another Beverly Hills mansion they have looked at several times that is listed at $85 million. The extras in that house include a 14-person spa.

Regardless of what house Beyoncé and Jay Z choose, it is a safe bet that all that divorce talk was just that. Celebrity couples tend to begin selling their properties when they know a split is coming — they are not shopping for more.

Do you think the rumors were intended to drum up publicity for the couple while they were touring? Was it a way to make sure those tickets sold and the seats were lined? Tell us your thoughts in the comments below.
