Jay-Z and Beyonce celebrated five years of wedded bliss in Cuba on Thursday.
R&B’s power couple were mobbed by dozens of well-wishers at the renowned restaurant La Guarida on Wednesday night, and police had to step in to keep the crowds at bay.
According to the Associated Press, they spent their anniversary walking around the colonial Old Havana district with their bodyguards. Beyonce sported a bright yellow frock with her braided hair done up, while Jay-Z wore a polo shirt and a fedora.
La Guardia’s employee, told Associated Press that Beyonce and Jay-Z had a typical Cuban dish, such as fish, chicken, black beans and rice. The couple’s mothers also joined them. According to waitress Silvia Fernandez, Beyonce took a tour in the restaurant and saw pictures of previous celebrities who dined in La Guardia, including Jack Nicholson, Jodie Foster, Danny Glover, Will Smith and James Belushi.
“She was beautiful, without a drop of makeup, very natural,” Fernandez said. “What happened with the people was incredible.”

Jay Z and Beyonce’s visit to Cuba
Their bodyguards’ presence outside set the gritty, bustling neighborhood of Center Havana abuzz, and a crowd gathered downstairs shouting Beyonce’s name until she went to a balcony and waved, the Associated Press reports. Police arrived and made sure she was able to exit without incident.
Beyonce posed for pictures with local schoolchildren, while Jay-Z puffed on a Cuban cigar.
Washinton's 51-year embargo makes it illegal for U.S. citizens to visit Cuba for mere tourism, although tens of thousands of Americans travel there each year on academic, religious, journalistic or cultural exchange licenses. In the past, artists who were challenged by the government have said they visited for cultural purposes.
