Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz: Married!

August 2, 2010


It was no three-city extravaganza like T.I. and Tiny’s wedding.

No diplomats and former heads of state were on hand like at the widely publicized nuptials of former First Daughter Chelsea Clinton and Marc Mezvinsky.

Still, it was perfect for Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz, who wed a private ceremony Saturday in a home on the Mediterranean Sea before family and friends.

The bride wore a Grecian-inspired Vera Wang dress and carried a bouquet of purple calla lilies. The groom was decked out in a Tom Ford tuxedo.

The couple’s friend, Dr. Deepak Chopra, presided over the nuptials.

Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz have come so far.

“Wowwwwwwwww,” Beatz (real name: Kasseem Dean) Twittered afterward. “It’s a brand new day :) I feel like Nas and Diddy song :) love y’all and blessing!”

The couple, who are also expecting their first child together, have been together since fall 2008. They announced their engagement and baby news in May.

It’s the first marriage for Keys and the couple’s first child together.

While the newlyweds don’t know the gender of their baby just yet, Beatz says it is just magical experience to be bringing a child into this world with Alicia.

“That baby is being born blessed parents,” he recently said. “Alicia is definitely one of those great parents-to-be. She’s super ready. Super glowing, happy.”

Congratulations to the happy couple!

Alicia Keys: Engaged to Swizz Beatz?

January 28, 2010


Rumors on the Internets suggest that Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz are secretly engaged. Anyone believe that gossip? Anyone hear of Swizz Beatz before?

Well, he’s dating Alicia Keys, and the singer apparently had a lot to smile about on her 29th birthday January 25 when he got her an engagement ring.

That’s what the rumor is, anyway.

Swizz Beatz, a 31-year-old producer who is still married to (and currently divorcing) his wife Mashonda, supposedly proposed with a 7-carat sparkler.

Either he or the made-up source has good taste!

Are Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz getting married?

The happy couple were photographed strolling on a Hawaii beach the day of the alleged proposal, January 24. Keys’ rep denies she is engaged, but …

Another friend of Alicia’s reveals to Us that the couple is “currently in Hawaii celebrating the engagement and her birthday. She feels blessed.”

Adds the pal: “She is so thrilled. She is with the man who has inspired so much of her music and her new album [The Element of Freedom].”

Engaged nor not, Swizz Beatz is equally smitten with Keys. “What we have is so precious,” he gushed to the New York Daily News last year.

Congratulations, possibly!
