There was one big news last week, the leaked video footage where Beyonce's sister Solange beat the hell out of rapper husband Jay Z in an elevator in a New York hotel after the Met Ball. This sparked numerous rumors that the couple was nearing divorce and that Solange was actually siding with her sister.

Today, after a statement from the fighting duo, Solange and Jay Z in which they both admitted their share of guilt and said that they've moved on, the PR team made them do one more stunt in order to show the public their feuding days were over – they had the pose for a family portrait.

It's not the kind of photo that you would hang on your bedroom wall or have sit ostentatiously on your fireplace mantle, but it is the kind of photo people send out for Christmas. The photo in question was posted on Beyonce's website on May 19, apparently celebrating a family reunion.

It is believed that the photos were taken in New Orleans over the weekend and, as you can see, there are no black eyes, no scratches on the face and no tension. However, Jay is keeping a healthy distance from Solange, sitting on the opposite side of the picture, with one hand around Beyonce, for the added protection.

In the center of the photo is Tina Knowles, Beyonce and Solange's mother, also present with the triangle in New Orleans. Eyewitness reports indicate that the family spent the day at Cafe Amelie in New Orleans' French Quarter. Also present at the event was Blue Ivy, Jay and Bey's daughter, but she was taken to an SUV later and made to watch “Dora the Explorer” when she became fussy.

Meanwhile, the power couple is getting ready to start touring this summer, having just released the promotional video for their upcoming “On the Run” tour, so if there is going to be a divorce, it's certainly not going to happen before this tour is over.

The divorce rumors gained credibility when photos of Beyonce's wedding ring finger showed that her tattoo she had done was beginning to fade or she was in the process of erasing it, hinting that she was indeed heading for a separation from the rap mogul.

The joint statement released after the fight did not address this issue, nor did it provide any explanation as to why Jay and Solange started brawling in the elevator of the Standard Hotel in New York, but it did say that they were over the incident and were moving on, together, as a family.

As you can see, Beyonce's PR team is working overtime these days to re-establish her squeaky clean image that until a few weeks ago oozed family bliss and inspired so many in the African-American community to follow suit.
