Beyonce & Jay-Z leave baby Blue Ivy at home for NYC night out

The loved-up pair made their first appearance together since the birth of their first child, stepping out at a basketball game in the city

New York’s most famous new parents Beyonce and Jay-Z left their adorable baby daughter at home last night, to step out for a sporting date night in the city.

Their first public appearance together since the birth of Blue Ivy the proud parents bagged courtside seats at a basketball match between the New York Knicks and New Jersey Nets at Madison Square Garden.

They may only have welcomed their adorable daughter last month, but Bey and her rap star hubby looked remarkably rested and relaxed as they watched proceedings from their VIP seats.

The usually private pair cheered and clapped as the match began, and snuck in a rare PDA as the game began, snuggling up to watch the sporting teams in action.

Proving her style credentials as one of the yummiest mummies around – and showing off her super-slim figure - Bey dressed down for her outing, in jeans, a slouchy t-shirt and a statement yellow jacket, not forgetting the all-important skyscraper heels.

The super-singer showed off her post-baby body for the first time earlier this month, as she stepped out to attend Jay-Z's charity concert at Carnegie Hall.

And last week the couple shared the first adorable snaps of their baby daughter online, writing: 'We welcome you to share our joy. Thank you for respecting our privacy during this beautiful time in our lives.'

Cutest family ever?
