Beyonce shares intimate Christmas holiday photos taken by husband Jay-Z
BEYONCE has delighted fans with an online Christmas present - by sharing intimate family snaps taken by Jay-Z.
The superstar uploaded a series of laid-back portraits of herself with daughter Blue Ivy, as well as her rapper hubby, on Instagram over the Christmas period.
In one pic the 36-year-old singer - who gave birth to twins in the summer - is seen strolling in a hedge maze with five-year-old daughter Blue Ivy.
Another shows Beyonce - with her slim pre-pregnancy figure back in force after relentless spinning classes - holding hands with Jay, 48, as they walk down a corridor.
The ever-stylish star, whose collaboration with Ed Sheeran made Christmas Number One in the UK this month, also struck a couple pose with Jay on a private jet in mini denim shorts.
And another rare, close-up portrait of the US megastar in profile showed off her natural freckles.
Fans went wild for the snaps, with the au natural portrait of Bey racking up almost three million likes.
This month Bey has also shared cosy snaps of herself sprawled on a sofa with jay while wearing a gold, Tina Turner-style dress.
The posts follow Ed's revelation that his collaborator on Christmas Number One, Perfect, changes her email every week to prevent leaks.
The UK singer also said he's been sitting on the track since September and Beyonce nailed her vocals "in one take".

It's a fine end to a whirlwind year for Bey who became mum to Rumi and Sir, now six months old - who were seen in Miami on holiday in November.
Jay also released his album 4:44 in which he confessed all about being unfaithful to Beyonce.
The hip hop legend is yet to name the woman he cheated with, but Beyonce called her “Becky with the good hair” on her own album Lemonade.
Talking about how his marriage nearly ended, Jay said this year: “You know, most people walk away, and, like, divorce rate is like 50 percent or something ’cause most people can’t see themselves.
“The hardest thing is seeing pain on someone’s face that you caused, and then have to deal with yourself.”
Meanwhile this month, Beyonce has returned to her early noughties roots by collaborating with Eminem on his track Walk On Water.
