Beyonce & Jay-Z were affectionate with each other in Portofino: weird or normal?

FFN_Beyonce_JayZ_BRK_090614_51522299

Here are some photos of Jay-Z and Beyonce in Portofino, Italy on Saturday. These are pap shots, by the way. You know junk has just gotten REAL when Beyonce and Jay get pap’d looking coupled up. Usually, they successfully fly under the paparazzi radar. They’re like Brangelina that way – if they’re getting pap’d, there’s a reason, there’s a message, there’s something to promote. And the promotion these days is personal. The promotion is: “Our marriage is solid. See how we’re walking arm-in-arm? See how sexy and in charge we look? That’s no accident, Hive.”

Incidentally, if they were just wandering around a yacht like this, I wouldn’t think much of it. But I’m pretty sure Beyonce doesn’t have anything on underneath her cover-up skirt. Nothing but gold paint. Also: I really like her hair these days.

Bey and Jay are in Portofino as part of their European vacation to celebrate Beyonce’s 33rd (cough) birthday. They flew to Corsica (on a private jet) where they had a beach party with Blue Ivy, Tina Knowles and “more family and friends.” No mention of Solange, but God knows. E! News’ source says: “Jay and Bey were very playful and joyous with one another, the insider added, noting that Beyoncé looked very happy throughout the festivities.” Following the party, I guess they boarded a yacht and sailed to Portofino.

Jay-Z also posted this video (33 seconds long) for Bey’s b-day:

    Although I love the idea of wearing ‘nothing but gold paint’ underneath one’s skirt, I have to point out that you can very clearly see her bikini bottom on the second pic.

    • Artemis says:

      Yes. There are pictures at the Dailymail which also shows B climbing up stairs and let’s just say that would’ve been one hell of a flash if she wouldn’t be wearing a bottom. She’s no Rihanna 🙂

    • QQ says:

      Im DYING FOR THIS GOLD STUFF!!

  2. Tracy says:

    I like her hair like this too.

    As far as the marriage… if it is merely a business arrangement, it must be tiring keeping up the facade.

    • Aussie girl says:

      Yes her hair does look good and yes if this is just to show face, how exhausting. Maybe they are trying to wear us down first, to the point of,”yes we believe you”. I just don’t know with these two.

    • Francesca says:

      Loving her hair like this. I guess with all the fakery in her life, extensions would’ve broken the camels back.

      • Chris says:

        Poor camel 🙁

      • Ava says:

        It’s a wig..why is that hard for people to admit, it isn’t her hair .. If she were white and wore a obvious wig people wouldn’t post ” her hair” and neither would Kaiser write it without a snide comment thrown in.

    • RocketMerry says:

      Love, love, love her hair like this too. She might be a source of inspiration for my next hair appointment.

      • Rayanna says:

        Ava is right that is a wig because she was sporting a pixie not even that long ago…no way her hair grew out like that fast

  3. Ice Queen says:

    I don’t really care about Beyonce and Jay Z anymore. I don’t like it that they used their marriage and kid to achieve high ticket sales. They don’t represent a power couple to me just because of those reasons and not because their marriage might fail or not.

    • Artemis says:

      Beyoncé and Jay Z always had high ticket sales even before Blue. Beyoncé was doing solo sold out concerts before her marriage.

      People want to see them (together or apart) because they are good at their job. Your theory would work when they would both be ‘washed up’ before Blue and suddenly decide to go on tour together to become successful again but this is not the case.

      • Ava says:

        Actually Beyonce tour wasn’t sold out and she did arenas that’s why she had over 150 shows , which is unharmed of for someone of her name recognition or fame duration.. She made have grossed about 260 million , but if your compare to say Madonna last tour 2012 , 88 shows grossed 320 million, or Bon Jovi who toured this year as well 105 shows 265 million .

        And sorry but they do use rumours to exploit for free publicity because neither has #1 hits or even top ten hits to get publicity so they use their personal life , using the two things the media loves to report pregnancy & divorce.

        She did the same thing with her solo tour weeks of speculation that she was pregnant , pictures of her on stage for blogs ….same as the divorce rumours with the same inner circle sources , E news even went so far as to confirm from a highly places ” source” that she was so many weeks pregnant.

        They use their people to spread these stories , that’s why the media, like page 6 believes them…. She even did with her album, all the rumours that it wasn’t ready, she was starting over because nothing was very good.. all all fake and who else but her gains for all these rumours .

    • Gurrrl says:

      How did they use their marriage and kid for ticket sales? They only released a video to promote their tour but it was mainly the media who hyped their show by claiming they were getting divorced. There’s actually a timeline of how ticket sales increased with each divorce news which by the way, beyonce may or may not have tried to combat with those happy family pictures.

    Now the world will go insane for those golden stickers she’s got on her legs, arms and chest.

    • Mar says:

      They are old news. They are called Flash Tattoos and they can be bought online or a lot of stores here in Miami

  5. GoodNamesAllTaken says:

    I r so confused.

  6. kdlaf says:

    Im not apart of the Beehive or anything but i never understood why people think she is lying about her age, she’s been in the public eye since she was a child -__- there are records for that type of stuff.

    • FingerBinger says:

      Sometimes when people have been around for a long time they seem older. Like Leann Rimes is only 32 but she seems a lot older because she’s been around forever.

    • Mitch Buchanan Rocks! says:

      Mellencamp and Meg were even more interesting than Bzzzzzzzzonce so it seems like they are super old because they don’t seem to Do anything more interesting than old retired people living in Florida (with the exception of Hugh Hef but he might even be more boring)

  7. LIVEALOT says:

    Love her look here. Hat, top, “gold paint” and all. She’s styled beautifully. Her skin coloring looks good and I appreciate her non extra thin body.

    • T.C. says:

      I think she looks fabulous too. Great body, nice outfit, nice hair and makeup. I do believe there are trying hard on the PR front to show their marriage is intact but she looks good. Even Jay Z looks nice.

  8. diva says:

    I think they are playing up the drama to keep people interested. They have always been attention whores. They are a lot like Kim and Kanye in that sense. They just have a better team to make their attention whoring not look so obvious.

  9. Mel M says:

    To me this says that all the divorce stuff was just an act, not sure who started it but they played it up and now they are done with it and laughing all the way to back.

    Also, I saw more close up pics of this portofino stroll and it looks like beyond has something in her teeth which surprised me since she is always so aware and in control of her image.

  10. Louise177 says:

    The thing I hate about “scandals” and rumors breaking out is that all of the sudden people claim that everything the celebrity do is a publicity stunt or a pap set-up. Beyonce and Jay have always been photographed and showed affection. This isn’t new. Also when rumors spread, the celebrity becomes a target. The number of paps following them probably doubled or tripled since the elevator incident. Which means there’s more opportunity to be photographed.

    • lisa2 says:

      +10000

      very true. They are both very famous. And they have a huge fanbase.

    • Anna says:

      THISSSSSSSS.
      They’ve always been photographed and they’ve always been super affectionate, you can go back years into their relationship to see all the “evidence” you need. If they aren’t physically together they’re always shouting each other out and it’s always been so cute.
      Mainstream media has just recently started reporting on Bey and Jay’s relationship often and now they think they know everything.

  11. Hissyfit says:

    Umm…they are a couple. Holding hands or putting your arms around each other is normal. Would you rather see them walk away from each other? That would be awkward.

    This whole “they want to show us that everything is alright” theory is exhausting. Don’t you think maybe everything is really alright with their relationship? People needs to stop wishing or wanting a celebrity couple to break up especially when they have kid / kids just to get the satisfaction of being correct with their theory.

    And oh, her hair looks great!

    • lisa2 says:

      I don’t know if Bey and Jay are solid or not but…
      It is just ugly when people want couples with children and are a family to break up. Or pronounce that their relationship is fake. I guess it is hard for some people to believe that celebrity relationships are real. Or that people can actually be famous, in love and happy. Or maybe they are cynical because they themselves don’t have that kind of relationship and can’t accept that others actually do.

  12. Stef Leppard says:

    Omg look at Jay’s shorts and skinny legs!! That is the real story here. From the waist down he looks like a grandpa.

  13. Monksolo says:

    I’m offended that many entertainment outlets (CNN, Huffington) felt that Beyonce’s birthday was equivalent in newsworthiness to the death of comedy legend Joan Rivers. I mean, I know they are being paid to run her pr, but it’s like they have no shame at all.

    • Nate says:

      Her B’Day IS just as important. If not more.

      • Anna says:

        Beyonce’s birthday is a holiday to a lot of fans actually (not just the Hive)…
        She’s one of the most popular people in the world, so obviously they’re going to report on it. I don’t get why people are surprised.

  15. Pam says:

    There is no hiding place from paps in Portofino. All the yachts come into one tiny area. Everyone in this tiny town sees & if any celeb shows up all tourists see & take pictures. If they wanted to hide they’d have to be covered up head to toe.

  16. maddelina says:

    I really dislike her hair cut like that. Not attractive!

  17. AlmondJoy says:

    Bey and Jay are always papped on vacation. It wasn’t a concern before but people are watching their every move at the moment. It amazes me that they are now on the radar of people and sites that never cared much for them before.

    Love Bey’s hair! And I’ve always gotten a kick outta Jay’s skinny grandpa legs and knees 😂

    • Chris says:

      I’ve unveiled many a hunk and been momentarily silenced by the lack of bulging thigh, of manly thew. For this reason I too have a soft spot for Jay’s pins; happy memories maybe!
      Re the media…..in their place I’d be so tempted to lay a trail of red herrings around the world and then laugh at the frenzy.

      • AlmondJoy says:

        Chris, GOSH you’re great with words! I love it lol. Jay’s poor lil legs, I can’t stop laughing 😂 I’m very happy with my hubby’s muscular calves.

        I agree about the media as well! People are so obsessed with them divorcing. Why not play along? The’ll eat up every little thing they say or do.

      • Chris says:

        Almond
        I left a few chewy/odd words for you on an earlier thread, but I cannot recall which!!
        (A sleb said she was ‘chuffed’, I remember that much)
        🙂
        🙂

      • AlmondJoy says:

        Chris, I remember “chuffed” was used in the Rate Ora thread, but I must have missed the comment you left me! I will go back and build up my vocab and catch you on a thread tomorrow!

  18. Ilsa says:

    Anyone know what kind of bikini she’s wearing? It’s gorgeous.

  19. Amy says:

    You can very clearly see the floral print of her bikini bottom through her cover-up. No scandalous pictures here. 🙂

  20. rudy says:

    Business as usual for Beyawnce and JayZzzz.
    Need to give the fans some picks, so they made the pics.
    These two are NOT in love.
    They do NOT make love.
    They are NOT a couple.

    However, they have major business together, and now, a little girl. Vamos a ver.

  21. t says:

    a couple that never ever shows affection now wants to touch each other in public all the time…gee i wonder why??

  22. jenn says:

    Weird? don’t know
    Normal? don’t know

    Disgusting people? yep

  23. Nonny says:

    She has to wear a skirt because the paps won’t photoshop in a thigh gap.

  24. sauvage says:

    Gosh, the only gap wider than the one between the two of them while they are apparently side-hugging would be the damn Grand Canyon.
