Jay-Z planning to get his unborn baby an armoured vehicle

New Jersey Nets' minority owner Jay-Z and Beyonce Knowles sit courtside

Jay-Z is planning to splash out on an armoured vehicle to protect his unborn baby.

The rapper's wife Beyonce Knowles is pregnant with the couple's first child and Jay-Z is so determined to keep the child safe, he has asked Tom Cruise for advice on the safest mode of transport for the family.

A source said: "Jay is looking at action-movie style vehicles like Tom's and wants to make sure they are bullet-proof and 100 per cent safe. He won't be taking any risks that's for sure."

In addition to the armoured car, Jay-Z, 41, is also planning to splash out on a new home for him and his family in Florida and has told Beyonce money is not an object.

The source added to Britain's OK! magazine: "They went house hunting together last week and he made it clear that she can pick whichever one she likes. All Jay will care about is that it's secluded and very well protected. Other than that so long as Bey loves it, he will too.

"He said to her that even if the house of her dreams costs him £12 million, he'll buy it. He sees it as a thank you for making his dream to be a father come true."
