The celebrity news outlet obtained photos of the couple walking through Balloon Fiesta Park, taking in the sights and stopping to snap selfies with colorful hot-air balloons filling the sky behind them. Despite being surrounded by festivalgoers, the couple appeared to be keeping a low profile.
"The witnesses say they gave the couple space because it appeared
they were trying to stay under the radar, with Jessica often keeping her head down as they walked through the crowded park," TMZ reported.
The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta is one of New Mexico's biggest annual attractions, drawing hundreds of thousands of visitors from around the world. The event is known for its spectacular mass ascensions, when hundreds of hot-air balloons take to the skies over Albuquerque.
