PHOTOS: Beyonce and Jay Z with daughter Blue Ivy(She Show Off Dancer's body)

 As rapper Jay Z nestled little Blue Ivy in his arms during a sea side outing Sunday, Beyonce – dressed down in denim shorts and a hooded sweatshirt – followed closely behind.

Protective papa Jay Z carried the quickly growing two-year-old along the windy shore, making sure to defend her from the sea breeze by snuggling her into his arms.

The couple - who have recently seen reports emerge that their marriage is on the rocks - appeared to be showing a sign of unity as they ventured out. See more photos after the cut....
