Alicia Keys<\/strong><\/a>, 43, is one of the world\u2019s best-selling musical artists, having sold over 30 million albums across the globe. She\u2019s a 15-time Grammy Award winner, the recipient of 9 Billboard Music Awards, and a 17-time NAACP Image Award winner. Alicia has appeared in major studio films (The Nanny Diaries<\/em>, 2007, and The Secret Life of Bees<\/em>, 2008,) and has even made the leap to theatre. She provided music and lyrics for jukebox musical Hell\u2019s Kitchen<\/em>, set to begin running on Broadway this spring.<\/p>\n

Alicia is nothing short of a household name, and on February 11, 2024, it was reported that she will be joining Usher<\/strong> <\/a>for a guest spot during his halftime show<\/a> at the Super Bowl.<\/a><\/p>\n

Away from the glaring lights of public life, the world-famous singer has been supported by her husband, Swizz Beatz<\/strong>, for almost a decade and a half.\u00a0Ahead of her appearance at the biggest game of the year, here\u2019s what to know about music mogul Swizz and their love story.<\/p>\n

Swizz is a Rapper, Producer, and DJ<\/h2>\n

Swizz Beatz is busy in the music world, just like his wife. The New York City native is a record producer, rapper, songwriter, and DJ. He\u2019s creatively collaborated with (who else?) Alicia, as well as Lil Wayne<\/strong>, Jay-Z<\/strong>, Drake<\/strong><\/a>, and DMX<\/strong>, among many others.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s also an art lover. The couple\u2019s art collection went on exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum in February of 2024. Giants: Art from the Dean Collection of Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys<\/em>\u00a0showcase\u2019s the couple\u2019s collection of exceptional art by Black artists.<\/p>\n

Alicia and her hubby met long before they embarked on a romance \u2014 according to PEOPLE<\/em><\/a>, they first met when both were still teens in New York City in the 1990s. In her memoir More Myself<\/em>, she shared that she initially wanted \u201cnothing to do\u201d with the hip hop producer. \u201cWe ended up in the same circles at various awards shows and industry events,\u201d she wrote. \u201cHe\u2019d usually pull up in some fancy car, rolling deep with his Bronx crew and shining with diamonds. I wanted nothing to do with that scene or with Swizz.\u201d<\/p>\n

She changed her mind when their industry brought them together for a collab in 2008, and both had grown up and into themselves. And by March of 2010, they had all but confirmed their affection \u2014 the duo was spotted packing on the PDA at a party in New York City. The rest would be history.<\/p>\n

They Got Married in 2010<\/h2>\n

On July 31, 2010, after discovering that Alicia was pregnant with their first child, the couple married in a romantic ceremony at an estate overlooking the sparkling Mediterranean. Their marriage was officiated by Deepak Chopra, and gorgeous images<\/a> from the blessed event showed a glowing, pregnant Alicia, kissing her new husband in a gorgeous white one-shouldered gown.<\/p>\n

Swizz and Alicia welcomed their first son, Egypt Daoud Dean<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, on October 10, 2014 in New York. Their second son, Genesis Ali Dean<\/strong>, would follow shortly just over a year later on December 27, 2014. Swizz is also dad to Nicole Dean<\/strong>, 15, Kasseem Dean Jr<\/strong>., and Prince Nasir Dean<\/strong>, from previous relationships.<\/p>\n

After the birth of his first child with Alicia, Swizz once described being a father as \u201cthe best thing ever\u201d in comments to Page Six<\/em><\/a>, via BET. \u201cIt\u2019s awesome seeing a little you in the making.\u201d<\/p>\n

Swizz Was Previously Married<\/h2>\n

Swizz was married to singer Mashonda Tifrere\u00a0<\/strong>from 2004-2010, and they welcomed sons Prince and Kaseem together. Though Mashonda was reportedly initially unhappy with Swizz\u2019s relationship with Alicia, the women have since made peace, and the entire family is successfully blended. \u201cMashonda and Alicia are the ultimate Krazy Glue that keeps our blending together,\u201d Beatz once told PEOPLE<\/em><\/a>. \u201cWomen are the healers of the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alica & Swizz Continue to Be in Love<\/h2>\n
\n<\/blockquote>\n

When asked what the secret to their longtime romance is, Alicia said \u201ctime\u201d is key (see what we did there?) \u201cReally carving out the time for each other,\u201d the \u201cGirl on Fire\u201d singer told the\u00a0Wall Street Journal <\/em>in 2023. \u201cWe all struggle with it. There\u2019s so much to balance. There\u2019s so much to do. And you find yourself running and doing the things for school, for the kids, and doing all the things for your lists, for all the dreams you have in your career, and what you have to do next.\u201d<\/p>\n

She continued, explaining how time together helps couples \u201cremember\u201d why they love each other. \u201cThat time together with you and your partner is so priceless,\u201d she told the newspaper. \u201cAnd to carve out that time and to make that important, as important as those daily things, I think it really pours back into the relationship. You remember why you are in love, you remember why you just like each other, what\u2019s interesting about each other.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
