First appearance: Beyonce and Jay-Z stepped out together for the first time since the birth of their daughter


They may have their hands full with the recent birth of their first child together, but Beyoncé and Jay-Z are still making sure they enjoy quality time as a couple.

The superstar pair made their first public appearance together since Blue Ivy was born at a basketball game today.

The couple enjoyed cheering on the New Jersey Nets, a team that Jay-Z co-owns, from their courtside seats and looked extremely loved up as they cuddled together.


R&B star Jay-Z whispered into his wife’s ear and kissed her cheek while keeping an arm protectively around her as they watched the game.

Beyoncé wore an eye-catching yellow blazer over a simple white top and proved just how quickly she has regained her fantastic figure as she slipped on some skinny jeans.

She also wore a pair of sky high patterned platform heels by Christian Louboutin, large gold hoop earrings and had a black bag with a chain slung over her shoulder.

The singer was sporting blue nail varnish, which she has been seen showing off since the birth of her baby girl, seemingly in honour of her daughter.

Meanwhile Jay-Z wore a grey jumper over a white T-shirt, khaki trousers and brown boots.

The couple were sat next to actress and fashion designer Chloe Sevigny as they cheered on their team, and were also seen applauding the dancers who warmed up the match.

The musical pair surprised fans earlier this month when they decided to forgo any magazine deals and released the first images of Blue Ivy to the world via Beyoncé’s website.

A series of intimate family snaps showing the youngster and her parents was accompanied by the message: ‘We welcome you to share in our joy. Thank you for respecting our privacy during this beautiful time in our lives. The Carter Family.’

Beyoncé stepped out twice in as many nights earlier this month and in her form-fitting outfits, it was almost unbelievable to think she gave birth a few weeks earlier on January 7.

It wasn't just her figure she was showing off as Beyoncé was also seen sporting a chunky piece of bling which she was given as a 'push present'.

Her rapper husband is believed to have bought the blue ring, in honour of their daughter's name, in a tradition that sees new fathers reward the mother after she gives birth to their child.

Her first 'stepping out' was the previous evening last Monday night as she showcased her post-baby curves in a red Alice Temperley cocktail dress, which was undeniably striking.

It was a wise move as the 30-year-old looked picture perfect for the first night of Jay-Z's two-legged occupation of NYC's Carnegie Hall.

Meanwhile Jay Z made his first debut two weeks after little Blue’s birth when he attended the reopening of his nightclub 40/40 in New York.

The rapper will soon be going back to work full-time too as his Watch The Throne tour kicks off in London on May 20.

The 12-date tour will see Jay Z and his good friend, Kanye West, promote their collaborative studio album, which goes by the same name.

The pair will perform to audiences across Europe and finish off with a gig at Birmingham's LG Arena on June 13.
