Jay-Z and Beyoncé appeared to be in a celebratory mood on Sunday night, as they were seen for the first time since his teen rape case was dropped last week.
The power couple dined at the renowned Italian restaurant Cipriani in Beverly Hills and were both pictured smiling as they left.
The rapper, real name Shawn Carter, was accused of attacking a 13-year-old girl at a 2000 MTV Video Music Awards party alongside Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs in a lawsuit that was filed in December last year.
The unnamed accuser has voluntarily dismissed the case and Carter, 55, has now sued his accuser’s attorney Tony Buzbee, who filed the allegations.
According to insiders, Beyonce is said to be feeling an immense sense of ‘relief’ now that the lawsuit has crumbled.
A source shared with DailyMail.com exclusively, ‘Relief is too simple a word to describe what Bey is feeling right now after Jay’s current legal issues were dropped.’
The insider further revealed, ‘While they put on brave faces, behind the scenes, it was a stressful time for Beyonce, bringing back memories of when Jay had previously broken her trust. On top of that, their children were affected.’
