Beyoncé and Jay Z look smitten as they take a stroll through the romantic streets of Florence

Their marriage may well have scrutinised over recent months, but there was little sign of trouble in paradise as Jay Z and Beyonce took a romantic stroll on Thursday evening.

The couple are currently in picturesque Italian city Florence, where they were arm in arm for a walk through its famous winding streets.

Evidently keen to capture the moment, R&B star Beyoncé, 33, brought along a large digital camera that she later used to take pictures of the surrounding architecture.

Crazy in Love: Their marriage may well have scrutinised over recent months, but there was little sign of trouble in paradise as Jay Z and Beyonce took a romantic stroll on Thursday evening

Jay, whose arm remained draped across his wife’s shoulders for much of their outing, seemed equally taken with his stunning surroundings.

The 45-year-old rapper was seen using his free hand to raise a smart phone and take snaps of the buildings – and Beyoncé – at every available opportunity.

At one point she was seen striking a pose while leaning against a stone bridge while Jay captured the moment with another snap.

The couple inevitably caught the eye of stunned onlookers as they explored the city and appeared happy to pass the time with fans.

In high spirits, they laughed and joked with a large group before Beyoncé leaned back against Jay, who duly wrapped both arms across her shoulders as they looked up at the night sky.

Both opted for casual ensembles during their latest outing, with Beyoncé looking particularly low key in on-trend ripped jeans and white Converse trainers.

Meanwhile Jay sported a snug white sweater, baggy jeans and boots for the picturesque stroll, for which they were accompanied by a small entourage of friends.

The outing comes as Beyonce stars in a new video with fellow artist Nicki Minaj called Feeling Myself.

In the video, which was shot around the Coachella festival, the girls pose on inflatable pieces of fruit and sport matching pink faux fur jackets.

Say cheese: Beyoncé once again took centre stage while Jay and a male acquaintance took snaps

But Beyonce came under fire for appearing to pour a $300 bottle of ‘Ace of Spades’ into a hot tub during the short film.

The ostentatious display cost the 7/11 hitmaker nothing since her rap mogul beau bought the entire Armand de Brignac brand last December.

Elsewhere Jay has used his Twitter account to defend his fledgling streaming service Tidal – designed as a rival to iTunes and Spotify.

At the end of April, he said: ‘The iTunes Store wasn’t built in a day. It took Spotify 9 years to be successful. We are here for the long haul. Please give us a chance to grow and get better.’

In its first month it flopped in the iTunes app store charts, despite a launch from big names.

It is not known why the app has dropped so significantly but the price may be considered too high for some users.

Many users who downloaded it and are using it during the trial period may be looking to cancel their subscriptions and uninstall, or alternatively coverage of the app has dropped.
