Alicia Keys Is Engaged -- and Expecting a Baby!

By PopEater Staff Posted May 27th 2010 09:45PM

After much recent speculation about a baby bump, the rumors turned out to be true! Alicia Keys is engaged and expecting a baby, PEOPLE reports.

Reps for Alicia Keys, 29, and fiancé rapper Swizz Beatz, 31, confirmed to PEOPLE they are "expecting a baby and are engaged to be married in a private ceremony later this year."

The couple, most recently spotted Thursday night at an event in London, has been dating since 2008. This will be the first marriage for Keys and the couple's first child together. Beatz, whose real name is Kasseem Dean, is finalizing his divorce from his first wife of three years. He has two children from previous relationships.

Beatz has produced music for his wife-to-be as well as other big artists like Jay-Z, Jennifer Lopez, Beyoncé and Gwen Stefani.

Keys' current Freedom Tour ends on June 4, and she will perform at the FIFA World Cup's kickoff concert on June 10 in South Africa.

Alicia is going to regret being married to that skunk. I give their marriage as long as the one he is currently trying to get out of. Too bad she can't see him for what he is.

Linda...Learn to understand the Bible instead of just quoting it WRONGLY! It is only judging someone when you havve NO facts. You hear something and make a decision on it with no factual basis. This is what the Bible is talking about. In this case, fact is he is still married thus he is an adulterer, fact is he has 2 children from first marriage, fact is the same Bible you partially believe speaks of no fornication, that is what this relationship is. Need I say more

Joella,
Positivity is like food. If you jam it down someone's throat it is more likely to be thrown up and not digested. Take your time to feed it a little bit at a time.
You can be right in thought, but wrong at the top of your voice. I doubt that your "correction" of the bible was digested by anyone in a positive manner.

So wait, this is her first marriage, first child and his 2nd marriage and 3rd baby daddy situation? And he's not divorced yet? Oh WINNER! SCORE!

Pick him out at the bowling alley or what?? You're Alicia FREAKING Keys and you pick a dude straight from the hood??

By sqb

I'm amazed at how many people are saying such negative things about them. #1) there are two sides to every story. Perhaps they were having problems before he met Alicia Keys. #2) I didn't hear all of this anger towards Lil Wayne and he has kids w/multiple women!! While I wouldn't do what she has done, the name calling and judging are horrible.

By liz

I agree with you 100% Sqb, people need to mind their business. There is two side to a story and as far as for people using the BIBLE, shut the hell up, we are all sinners and like to use the bible when is convenient and judge others. Let them be, do anyone here pay their bills? I think NOT, so let them be. We don't know where life will put each and every one of us so just SHUT UP and stop the hate. We have a lot of haters and a lot of unhappy people. I have found that every time we have to talk about others that means that we are not happy with our lives. Let's worry about our lives and look at what we are doing. It surprises me how everyone is quick to jump to conclusion..

Um...he's NOT married to anyone where Beatz is!! I love Alicia Keys but you will not have good luck when you don't do things correctly! Finish crossing one bridge before you pay the toll on another!

I find it funny at how many of you are sh*ting on the fact that 2 people met and are having a baby and getting married. He makes HOTTTTTTT BEATS and she can sing........... I always thought she was gay, so YOU GO GIRL.

By Jennifer

Wait.. you always thought she was gay, SO you go girl..? Now, once you find out she's straight, you're all "go girl?" Would you still be just as amped if she was expecting and engaged to a woman..?

Yeah i would be all Amped I dont care who she has a kid with or who she sleeps with. I was just stating MY OPINION. THANKS

By Tippy

Whoa! Aren't you supposed to be married first then pregnant?

By Jen

Says who? Jesus?

Looks like he needs her more than she needs him. Hope he doesn't destroy her talent with drugs like the Whitney Houston-Bobby Brown situation.It looks like she is settling for a wannabe.

By leah

Swiss beats is not a wannabe. Hes one of the most successful producers ever - and very expensive. She is a homewrecker.

Um...do ur research! He has way more money than her! HE'S A PRODUCER!!! As ugly as he is..he still is rich and sure as hell doesn't need her financially! Regardless..he's a slime for what he did to his wife! If there were problems..divorce THEN move on!

By Cat

Apparently homewrecker ho Alicia never heard the expression ... "If he'll cheat WITH you, he will cheat ON you".
