Why so glum?: Beyonce and Jay Z looked miserable on Wednesday during an outing in Porto Cervo, Sardinia

Beyonce had earlier been seen looking bored while texting on her mobile phone as she and Jay Z headed into the seaside resort on a boat.

It comes after the singer and the rapper, whose four-year-old daughter Blue Ivy has joined them on the trip, were spotted apparently in the middle of a tense discussion as they made their way to dinner over the weekend.

And even a jet ski ride wasn’t enough to raise a grin out of Jay Z, who remained stony-faced as he zipped across the water.
