Beyoncé and Jay-Z made their first public appearance together since Blue Ivy was born

Beyoncé and Jay-Z made their first public appearance together since their daughter Blue Ivy was born at a basketball game yesterday.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z 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.

The R&B star 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.

The singer 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.

She was sporting blue nail varnish, which she has been seen showing off since the birth of her baby girl, seemingly in honor of her daughter Blue Ivy.

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

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

Beyoncé and Jay-Z 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”.

Jay-Z is believed to have bought the blue ring, in honor of their daughter’s name, in a tradition that sees new fathers reward the mother after she gives birth to their child.

Beyoncé’s first “stepping out” was 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 she 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 Ivy’s birth when he attended the reopening of his nightclub 40/40 in New York.
