Alicia Keys and fiance, Swizz Beatz, were spotted strolling around SoHo in NYC earlier last week. Congratulations on their baby on the way.




In other Alicia Keys/Swizz Beatz related news, no they didn’t get married! In fact, the pair attended Russell Simmons’ Art for Life benefit in East Hampton on Saturday night. The stunning & very pregnant singer, Alicia Keys, stayed off the red carpet to avoid answering questions about the upcoming wedding & cheered Beatz as he accepted an honor for his work with underprivileged kids.

Swizz also chopped it up with People where he revealed some information about the couple’s upcoming bundle of joy and pending nuptials during the outing.

“Alicia is definitely one of those great parents-to-be…I’m definitely one of those great parents as well.” As for the sex of the baby, he offered. “We don’t know…We’re just going to let that be magical. Whatever we’re blessed with, boy, girl, twins, that baby is being born to blessed parents.”

As for the wedding extravaganza, he offered:


“I’ll give a shout-out to Vera Wang for doing the dress and Christian Louboutin for doing her shoes. Louboutin’s doing my shoes too!”


These two are slowly taking over Jay-Z & Beyonce’s spot as the hip hop’s royalty couple.

SWIZZ BEATZ TALKS MARRIAGE, BABIES & MUSIC… http://str8nyc.com/2010/07/22/swizz-beatz-talks-marriage-babies-music/ http://str8nyc.com/2010/07/22/swizz-beatz-talks-marriage-babies-music/#comments Thu, 22 Jul 2010 21:07:49 +0000 LexAve http://str8nyc.com/?p=40923 Tweet

Check out Swizz Beatz gushing about marriage plans to Alicia Keys, babies and of course music to OK magazine. Now that he’s managing Alicia Keys, surely he’s got some major plans in mind.

On Alicia Keys Pregnancy & Being A Mom

I’m very excited about that, children, you know, they’re a blessing and I’m very excited. We keep the energy positive. Everything surrounding kids should always be positive. That’s the number one rule.”

“I think she’s going to be an amazing mom because she’s an amazing person. If youre an amazing person, it all equals the same thing.”

Details About Their Upcoming Wedding

“Well its not this weekend!” Swizz Beatz says. ”But you know, were excited. Our union is amazing. Our union is pure. Our union is positive no matter what people say or what people think, time will tell everything and you know, silence is the best thing. We just keep it private and we do our thing and just have fun with it.”

“I’m a planner!” he tells OK!. ”I like getting into the detail of things. I’m inspired by fashion, I’m inspired by art, I’m inspired by architectural things so [I like] being involved with the wedding. I’m not the person who sits back and goes, okay, well I’ll just show up. I’m actually spearheading certain plans but it’s a nice blend, a nice partnership.”

“It’s not a superstar wedding. It’s not a gimmicky wedding. It’s a true bond of love, you know, that’s not based on having the most famous person sitting there while you’re doing it. It’s about having the closest people who really understand you as a person and that really have love for you. So it’s a small situation.”

On His Upcoming Projects

I’m working on my album which is super incredible,” he tells OK!. ”Got everybody on there from Jay-Z to John Legend to Mary [J. Blige] to Drake. Super amazing album. I’m also working on Lenny Kravitz new album, working with Cold Play, and of course Alicia!

People may have their thoughts about Swizz and Alicia’s shady relationship, but if this true love and if their happy…then best of luck.

While Alicia Keys & Swizz Beatz are basking in marital bliss, Mashonda attended a book release party at Bo Concept in NYC for author Aliya King’s new book “Platinum”…no clue on what’s the book about, but Mashonda looked radiant! Glad to see she’s still holding her up after Swizz traded her in for Alicia Keys.



In other Mashonda related news, be sure to catch her photo spread in Vibe “A Day in the Life of Mashonda” feature…here’s a sneak peek.



Peep the “Loyalty” tattoo…speaks volumes.

SWIZZ BEATZ KNOCKS UP ALICIA KEYS & PUTS A RING ON IT! http://str8nyc.com/2010/05/27/swizz-beatz-knocks-up-alicia-keys-puts-a-ring-on-it/ http://str8nyc.com/2010/05/27/swizz-beatz-knocks-up-alicia-keys-puts-a-ring-on-it/#comments Fri, 28 May 2010 03:06:45 +0000 J'More http://str8nyc.com/?p=38807 Tweet

While it’s been speculated that Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz are going half on a baby, not to mention recent pics of the singer further added fuel to the rumor. Well, folks we’re no longer on bump watch ’cause Alicia is indeed preggers with Swizz Beatz’ seed. The Grammy-award winning singer’s mouthpiece broke the news to Us magazine–confirming that the couple is expecting a baby and plan to marry later this year.

A snitch tells Us,

“They are very happy.”

Earlier this year, Alicia revealed that she was ready to settle down and start a family. Who one knew that it would be this soon?! How long have they been dating? Anywhoo, Swizz already has two kids from prior relationships.

Alicia is well aware of karma ’cause what goes around definitely comes around! I wonder how Mashonda is dealing with the breaking news. Matter fact, Mashonda doesn’t even have to worry about them ’cause she ‘s about to get P-A-I-D!

In other related news, here are some pictures from last night’s Keep A Child Alive Ball in London.


Alicia and Swizz share an intimate and happy moment…


Alicia Keys glowing on the red carpet…GORG!



After smiling for the cameras and working the room, Alicia hits the stage to do her thing.

STR8 SNITCHIN’: ALICIA KEYS IS SOOOO PREGNANT! http://str8nyc.com/2010/05/20/str8-snitchin-alicia-keys-is-soooo-pregnant/ http://str8nyc.com/2010/05/20/str8-snitchin-alicia-keys-is-soooo-pregnant/#comments Thu, 20 May 2010 16:04:55 +0000 LexAve http://str8nyc.com/?p=38444 Tweet

Last night Alicia Keys performed at the opening night of her UK tour at the N.I.A. in Birmingham, England and once again these pictures are sure to fuel pregnancy rumors. We’ve known Alicia Keys to always be on the thick side…especially from the waist down…but the jacket and flowy top leads us to believe A.Keys is hiding something..not sure if it’s Swizz’s seed or just a gut. But these pics are just REAL suspect.

STR8 SNITCHIN’: SWIZZ BEATZ A DEADBEAT DAD?! http://str8nyc.com/2010/05/18/str8-snitchin-swizz-beatz-a-deadbeat-dad/ http://str8nyc.com/2010/05/18/str8-snitchin-swizz-beatz-a-deadbeat-dad/#comments Tue, 18 May 2010 14:34:34 +0000 J'More http://str8nyc.com/?p=38307 Tweet

Instead of thinking about giving away a million bucks, rapper/producer Swizz Beatz better give ex-wife Mashonda some bread. Their divorce was finalized two weeks ago, but Mashonda isn’t done with him just yet! Shorty wants his trifling a$$ to pay up–especially since he’s about to marry homewrecker Alicia Keys. According to the NY Daily News, word is Mashonda is taking his cheating a$$ to Manhattan Supreme Court so she can finally get all the money he owes her  in alimony and child support payments which happens to be $334,000! WOW!

Alicia has Swizz that whipped that he’s completely forgotten about his responsibilities?

ALICIA KEYS WANTS TO HAVE SWIZZ BEATZ BABY?! http://str8nyc.com/2010/03/01/alicia-keys-wants-to-have-swizz-beatz-seed/ http://str8nyc.com/2010/03/01/alicia-keys-wants-to-have-swizz-beatz-seed/#comments Mon, 01 Mar 2010 15:26:32 +0000 J'More http://str8nyc.com/?p=34195 Tweet

Alicia Keys isn’t the type to reveal much about her personal life and don’t expect that to change anytime soon. In a recent interview with UK’s Daily Mail, the Grammy-award winning singer revealed that she would like to pop out a few babies in the future and why she’ll never dish about her relationships interviews. She says,

“I hold love in such high regard that I don’t speak about it in interviews because it should be respected. But it’s so important – the one thing we can all understand, that evens everybody out.” Adding, “I’ve never dated a ton of people, I’ve always been a one-guy kind of girl, but I have to say that I’ve always been lucky with love, blessed with it. Overall I haven’t had any terrible relationships – apart from a couple of little stupid ones when I was younger, but at that age you kinda can’t help it. But I’ve always had really great guys in my life, you know? They’ve been very stable men as well. I need a guy who is strong-minded, not intimidated by me – I don’t like those kind of guys.’”

Could starting a family with hush-hush fiancé Swizz Beatz be part of Alicia’s plans?

“I will definitely have my own family in the next five years.”
