Last week, Jay Z admitted to being unfaithful during his marriage toBeyonce.
But on Monday, the married stars looked perfectly blissful as they left a movie date on his 48th birthday – their first public outing since his shock cheating revelation.
Nevertheless, the setting brought back stark memories of Jay’s infamous elevator fight with Beyonce’s sister Solange three years ago, which was at the time believed to have been provoked by his infidelity.
No problem here: Notably, Jay Z and Beyonce were pictured in an elevator – much like the one in that lift footage – on Monday night in NYC, in the first pictures of the couple since he admitted to cheating on her
The setting was reminiscent of the lift where damming security footage was captured of Solange launching a violent attack – punching and kicking – at her brother-in-law Jay Z, following the 2014 Met Gala.
When the trio left the Standard Hotel’s elevator, Solange stormed ahead while Beyonce forged a smile and Jay was left trailing the two sisters, holding his face.
Afterwards, the trio released a joint statement: ‘There has been a great deal of speculation about what triggered the unfortunate incident. But the most important thing is that our family has worked through it.

‘Jay and Solange each assume their share of responsibility for what has occurred. They both acknowledge their role in this private matter that has played out in the public. They both have apologized to each other and we have moved forward as a united family.’
Monday night was a very different picture, with the lovebirds going to great lengths to make it look like the incident was all water under the bridge, as they grinned from ear to ear.
New mum Beyonce, 36 – who welcomed their twins six months ago – donned a black and white patterned dress, which clung to her hourglass figure.

The frock had sheer elements along the skirt, sleeves and decolletage.
The see-through accent on her skirt had purple and yellow flowers while the sleeves had the word ‘Unity’ on them.
The Crazy In Love star, who rocked black and white heels that had ‘Unity’ emblazoned on them, donned a furry dark blue coat over her shoulder.
Beyonce completed her look with crystal encrusted Krewe sunglasses, a purple and black handbag and layers of necklaces.
The star wore her light locks in curls with bold purple lipstick on her full pout.

Jay – who has been married to the hitmaker for nine years – revealed that he was unfaithful to Beyonce during his revealing interview with Dean Baquet from the New York Times, last week.
The artist said that his scars from his past led him to push away his wife, which she later addressed in her album Lemonade.
Jay told the NYT that: ‘You have to survive. So you go into survival mode, and when you go into survival mode, what happens? You shut down all emotions. So, even with women, you gonna shut down emotionally, so you can’t connect. … In my case, like, it’s deep. And then all the things happen from there: infidelity,’ he said.
He has never named the woman he cheated with. Beyonce has called her ‘Becky with the good hair.’

First she touched on his straying on Lemonade; then he addressed it on 4:44.
But he said that it was not planned that way and they were actually going to do a joint album.
Jay said to the NYT: ‘You know, most people walk away, and, like, divorce rate is like 50 percent or something ’cause most people can’t see themselves.’
Adding: ‘The hardest thing is seeing pain on someone’s face that you caused, and then have to deal with yourself.’
Beyonce and Jay Z are parents to three children: daughter Blue Ivy, five, and twins Rumi and Sir, born on June 13.
