Do Beyonce and Jay-Z have Linsanity?
Apparently so.
At least, according to photos of the couple in their first public appearance together since Blue Ivy's birth.
Bey and Jay were at Madison Square Garden Monday night to watch the New York Knicks take on Jay-Z's team, the New Jersey Nets (he is part owner).
Beyonce sported big hoop earrings, straight hair, a yellow sweater, black pants and pumps, while Jay-Z kept it casual in a grey sweater.
The couple sat near director Spike Lee, who is a hardcore Knicks fan, and actress Chloe Sevigny.
Beyonce also had a splash of blue in her nails -- a look she has been wearing since the birth of Blue Ivy.
This past weekend, Beyonce and Jay-Z were spoofed on "Saturday Night Live," when host Maya Rudolph and featured player Jay Pharoah portrayed the famous couple.
In the sketch, celebrities like Prince, Nicki Minaj, Taylor Swift and Bon Iver paid visits to Blue Ivy at the family's home in Scarsdale, NY. Justin Vernon of Bon Iver was played by Justin Timberlake, who sang the baby (and himself) to sleep.
While this is the first public appearance for Bey and Jay, the two have been out and about in recent weeks. Beyonce stepped out for the very first time on Feb. 6 and 7 to support her husband's double night benefit concerts at Carnegie Hall.
The couple also skipped the Grammys just over one week ago, opting for a pizza date night in Brooklyn instead.
On Feb. 10, Beyonce and Jay-Z released the first photos of their daughter on a Tumblr page called "Hello Blue Ivy Carter."
"We welcome you to share in our joy. Thank you for respecting our privacy during this beautiful time in our lives. The Carter family," the couple wrote, attaching five photos of Blue Ivy.
Jeremy Lin and the Knicks lost to the Nets on Monday's game, with a score of 92-100.
