Of her doting husband, she gushes: "We have been together since I was 20 years old. We took our time and developed an unbreakable friendship before we got married."
She adds: "I admire his ability to inspire others. To me, Jay represents the American dream. Jay's music has helped define our generation. All that he has overcome and worked to achieve gives millions hope that they can become whatever they want to be.
"I respect him so much; he is a great man and a great artist."
Beyonce also opens up about her marriage.
"We focused three years on our marriage and found that it brought us an even stronger bond and connection. But like anything great and successful in your life, marriage takes hard work and sacrifice. It has to be something both you and your husband deeply want," she says.
"The best thing about marriage is the amount of growth you have because you can no longer hide from your fears and insecurities. There's someone right there calling you out on your flaws and building you up when you need the support. If you are with the right person, it brings out the best version of you."
She also dishes on the amount of planning that went into her pregnancy revelation at the MTV Video Music Awards in late August.
"I put a lot of thought into how I wanted to unveil it. It was important to me that I was able to do it myself," she says.
"I was extremely nervous. It was the toughest red carpet I ever did. I didn't want a crazy picture or gossip story to break the news. I decided to say nothing and proudly show my baby bump. I felt it was more powerful to see the love and enthusiasm as opposed to saying anything."

'Stupid, ridiculous and false...'
But while Beyonce revels in the glow of her pregnancy, her recent sit-down with Sunday Night has sparked a wave of wild speculation and rumour.
Hours after a clip of her TV interview appeared online, conspiracy theorists flapped over a bizarre claim that Queen B is actually sporting a prosthetic baby bump as she parades before her public.
The "evidence"? At one point during the clip, the singer's burgeoning belly seemingly appears to fold and "deflate" as she sits down for the confab.
Check out the frame-by-frame stills here.
Oh, the scandal!
But honestly, what a load of old cobblers, says her rep.
Her rep Yvette Noel-Schure has since piped up to slam the swirling rumours, branding them "stupid, ridiculous and false," according to ABC News.
Beyonce was recently snapped sporting her (very real looking) baby bump during a beachside stroll in Hvar, Croatia in early September.
