Jay-Z and Beyonce at basketball game

Celebrity power couple Jay-Z and Beyonce had front-row seats together in Dallas during an NBA basketball game between the Dallas Mavericks and the Los Angeles Lakers. 

The couple looked like they were having a good time at the game.  Jay-Z and Beyonce usually shy away from affection in public because they want to keep their relationship private, and that’s understandable.  But it was good to see them photographed together at the game. 

During Beyonce’s acceptance speech at the Grammy’s a few weeks ago, she said “I love you” to Jay-Z.  That was unusual because they typically refuse to show any physical or verbal affection in public. 

In fact, for a long time, they refused to publicly acknowledge they were in a relationship or even married.

During an interview with Access Hollywood, Beyonce said “He was shocked.  He was just like ‘What did you say?’ I was so happy, I could’ve said anything.  That’s why I ran off the stage.  I just looked up, and he was the first face I saw.  And I was like “What did I just do?’ No, I didn’t just say that.”

Keeping their relationship private seems to be a successful formula for the happy couple.  They’ve managed to stay together when so many Hollywood relationships fail due to the pitfalls of fame.
