    "You know we were friends first for a year-and-a-half before we went on any date -- on the phone for a year-and-a-half," she said.

    "And that foundation is so important in a relationship. And just to have someone that you just like is so important and someone that is honest."

    Motherhood hasn't stopped Beyonce - who recently rocked the Super Bowl Halftime Show - from keeping her sights set on performing.

    "I feel like I did a show three months after I gave birth which was really crazy. I had clearly never given birth and didn't know that I would gain 60 pounds," she told, and then quickly clarified that she gained a total of 57 pounds. "But I really wanted to know. I feel so fortunate to do my job. I love my job. I love singing. I love the way it feels."

    In addition to her "Oprah's Next Chapter," Beyonce will be seen this weekend in her new HBO documentary, "Beyonce: Life Is But A Dream," on Saturday at 9 PM.

    • Kanye West's Angry 'SNL' Rant Makes Saturday's Season Finale a Must-Watch

      This coming weekend is a big one for Saturday Night Live. It marks the end of Bill Hader's tenure on the show and Ben Affleck's fifth time hosting. But perhaps the most significant reason to tune in is the fact that Kanye West is the musical guest, and he's making it seem like he really, really doesn't want to be.
