He is a globally-successful artist who has recently toured the world supporting his wife, but Jay Z proved that the best time is family time when he was spotted in New York City on Thursday.

The 44-year-old megastar was seen carrying his beloved daughter Blue Ivy, two, through Manhattan with a stylish Beyonce for some quality time together to celebrate their sixth anniversary.

The trio looked seriously delighted to be in each others’ company and were the epitome of a happy family.

Family ties: The hip-hop power couple even named their two-year-old daughter Blue Ivy, which sounds a lot like I.V.

 

Wearing a pair of metallic jeans with blue and black high-top trainers, the Empire State of Mind rapper – who was born and raised in Brooklyn – looked dapper in a leather-sleeved overcoat.

Clearly opting for comfort, Blue Ivy looked snug in a pair of black leggings with a padded coat on to protect her from the chilly NYC weather.

Meanwhile, Beyonce wowed – as per usual – in a blue and white trouser suit which she matched with platform wedges. The trio looked happy and relaxed as they left an apartment complex before climbing into a waiting vehicle.

Beyoncé, 32, completed her Mrs. Carter Show World Tour last month, where she garnered critical acclaim for her dramatic stage shows.

Fortunately, the effort and long hours were clearly worth it, as it was the star’s most successful to date.

Even before she had even finished her run, it came in at number 2 on Pollstar’s year-end Top 20 Worldwide Tours list, grossing $188.6 million from the first 107 shows, and was also the most lucrative female tour of 2013.

Unfortunately, the drama wasn’t just reserved for the stage. It was recently reported that two former fans of the singer are suing her.

Raquel Castellanos and Gabriella Davidson are claiming they got trampled at one of the star’s concerts. The women had purchased general admission tickets for a show at the United Center in Chicago last December, court documents obtained by CBS’ local affiliate in Chicago reveal.

Castellanos and Davidson claim they arrived to the venue a few hours early and got spots standing close to the stage.

The suit states: ‘As the hours passed, the group became larger, more dense and more anxious about how, when and where the gate(s) would be released and where ticket holders and fans were supposed to enter The United Centre – none of which was explained.’
