Jay-Z Caresses Beyonce's Face At Erica Reid's Book Launch Event

The Carters, Beyonce and Jay-Z, showed their support for X Factor USA judge L.A. Reid’s wife, Erica Reid, who had a book launch at a private residence in New York Tuesday.

The new parents to four-month-old Blue Ivy Carter showed up to take in parenting ideas from Erica’s “The Thriving Child: Parenting Successfully through Allergies, Asthma and Other Common Challenges” book that could be helping for any parent whose child may have or may develop irritations.

Though uncertain if Blue suffers from any allergies, the “Countdown” singer recently spoke of wanting more children, so the more she knows about children the better.

‘I definitely want to have more. I don’t know how many. God knows, I don’t know yet,’ she told Entertainment Tonight.

Jay Z’s wife, who at one point during the evening affectionately caressed Bey’s face as she grinned, stepped out in a subdued, but figure flattering teal, belted dress unlike her risqué MET gown that has been getting much buzz, teetering on the ‘hot or not’ list. Jay went as his casual self in a printed t-shirt, denim jacket, and jeans.

We like how Bey and Jay are still making moves as new parents!

 

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
