B-Day girl Beyonce and Jay Z reveal beach bodies as they splash out for her 32nd birthday on champagne cruise

She is one of the coolest performers in the world, so it understandable that Beyonce Knowles would celebrate her birthday in a decadent style.

The Grown Woman singer turned 32 on Wednesday, and was surrounded by her loved ones - including husband Jay Z and daughter Blue Ivy aboard a luxury yacht in Stombli, Italy, which appeared to turn into an impromptu champagne cruise.
As well as spending time with her loved ones, including her adorable daughter Blue Ivy, Beyonce and Jay enjoyed posing with a Nebuchadnezzar size gold bottle of champagne.

Meanwhile, husband Jay showed off his beach body in a pair of turqoiuse shorts as he relaxed on the luxury cruiser.

At one point, Bey took an intimate snap shot of Jay puffing on one of his beloved cigars.

Joining them in the fashionable swimwear stakes was daughter Blue Ivy who looked adorable in a leopard print bathing suit.

The stylish family have been on holiday over the last few days and were recently seen enjoying themselves in Ibiza.

They flew into Ibiza immediately after Beyonce's performance at the 2013 Budweiser Made in America Festival in Philadelphia, and is now enjoying a well-earned rest from her busy schedule.

The singer is understood to be taking a short break on the island before returning to the US as expectancy surrounding her soon to be released fifth studio album builds.

The singer fueled further rumors last week when it appeared that she was shooting a new video in Coney Island.
Going back to her longer blonde locks - after shocking fans with a pixie crop last month - Beyonce looked as if she had really got her groove back on the shoot.

Last month it was reported that she spent almost $2,000 on flame-grilled chicken after her performance in the UK at V Festival.
Beyonce, who is known for her love of chicken, put in a massive order to the UK restaurant Nandos for her and her entourage, which included 48 whole chickens, 580 spicy wings, 48 portions of chips, 24 tubs of coleslaw, 24 helpings of spicy rice and 12 vegetable burgers.

A manager at the restaurant confirmed to BBC News that a member of Beyonce's entourage made the order and according to a receipt, which was posted on Twitter, the four-figure bill was paid entirely in cash.

The singer loves to treat herself to succulent chicken from the restaurant chain when she is in the UK, but her latest order tops the almost $1,000 she racked up in Nando's when her Mrs. Carter Show world tour visited Dublin, Ireland, in May.
And there will certainly be no shortage of fine foods on offer off the their luxury yacht in Italy.
Meanwhile, Bey will soon be back on the road as she continues her Mrs. Carter World Tour.
