They're on the run again.
Music's most powerful couple are rumored to have purchased a home in New Orleans' Garden District, according to Curbed New Orleans.
It's not just any home, either.
A Spanish baroque mansion with three stories and 26-foot-high ceilings, it was originally originally a church and then a ballet school, according to zillow.com. The mansion, located at 1527 Harmony St., has seven bedrooms, eight bathrooms and is 13, 292 square feet.
"The building is currently divided into one main residence with three apartments (each approximately 1,000 square feet)," zillow.com says.
The website also quotes a Grammy winner (but doesn't give a name), who once said about the home, "The acoustics and vibes are great. I did my best writing ever, while watching the sunset from the rooftop garden!"
So how are Jay Z and Beyonce linked to the home exactly?
The home is owned by a company called Sugarcane Park, Lauren LaBorde writes in her Curbed post. With some basic research, LaBorde and her crew found a mailing address for Parkwood Entertainment LLC on the Louisiana secretary of state website. Parkwood Entertainment is Beyonce's management company.
A move to New Orleans wouldn't be the first for the family. Beyonce's sister, Solange, is a part-time resident of the city and owner of a French Quarter boutique, according to NOLA.com. She also had her wedding there in November, the website says.
Beyonce performed at the Super Bowl halftime show in New Orleans a couple of years ago, as well.
