Chris Martin reveals who the real 'Becky with the good hair' is

Los Angeles - Chris Martin has joked he's been having an affair with Jay Z.

The Coldplay frontman - who has a good friendship with the rapper and his wife - has mused that he's secretly "Becky with the good hair" Beyoncé appears to claim her husband has been cheating on her with in her new album Lemonade.

Asked if he can shed light on who the mystery woman the 34-year-old singer references in her track Sorry, Chris told The Daily Mirror newspaper: "Yes, that's me. Jay and I have been seeing each other on-off for about 24 years.

"We just go bowling together. But people get the wrong idea because we're talking about walking around with big balls. I'm glad to have it off my chest."

Since the brunette beauty dropped the album last month, speculation has been rife about who the mystery woman could be.

The Halo hitmaker hinted the 46-year-old rapper - whom she married in 2009 and with whom she has four-year-old daughter Blue Ivy - had committed an adultery offence in her new LP as she belted out the lyrics, "My daddy warned me about men like you cause every promise, don't work out that way. Nothing seems to hurt like the smile on your face."

However, some fans believes the whole thing could be a publicity stunt to create more hype for her release.
