Beyoncé and her husband Jay-Z take their privacy very seriously, possibly a bit too seriously sometimes. They couple are rarely seen in romantic poses or even communicating their affection for each other. So it came as a nice surprise to see them caught off-guard as they strolled through Nice airport hand in hand today. But nothing is ever as it seems with this couple and on closer inspection, they actually appeared to be holding a couple of oranges.

The smiles – and momentary dropping of the barriers – were perhaps down to last night’s success at the NRJ awards – the top event in France’s music calendar. Jay-Z received a rapturous response from the crowd at Cannes as he performed Empire’s State of Mind, while wife Beyoncé, picked up an honorary award.
