Alicia Keys made a surprise appearance at a Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show, joining Usher for a nostalgic performance of their 2004 hit “My Boo.” Although Usher was the headliner, Alicia, 43, captivated the audience in a dazzling diamond-encrusted red catsuit and played a stunning red grand piano with an abstract design.
Her breathtaking performance received widespread acclaim, especially from her family, including her husband, Swizz Beatz, and their two sons, Genesis and Egypt. Despite the rare glimpses of their children, these special moments highlight the strong family bond they share. Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz have always prioritized their blended family, providing a loving and supportive environment for their kids.
Alicia Keys is married to rapper and music producer Kasseem Daoud Dean, professionally known as Swizz Beatz. At 45, Swizz has collaborated with major artists such as Busta Rhymes, Jay-Z, Eve, and the late DMX. Alicia and Swizz began dating around 2010 and announced their engagement and impending first child that May. They married in June 2010 in the Mediterranean, and their first child was born in October.
Alicia and Swizz welcomed their first son, Egypt, in October 2010. Now Egypt shares a close bond with his parents and is often seen playing the piano, following in his mother’s footsteps. Their second son, Genesis, was born in December 2014.
Swizz had three children from previous relationships before having his two sons with Alicia. His eldest son, Prince Nasir, was born to Nicole Levy. His second son, Kasseem Jr., was born with his ex-wife Mashonda Tifrere, and he also has a daughter named Nicole from a prior relationship with singer Jahna Sebastian.
The family often shares heartwarming photos, reflecting their happiness and the strength of their blended family. One photo captures them joyfully celebrating the holidays in front of a large Christmas tree. Alicia expressed her amazement at how quickly her sons are growing up.
Another photo shared by Alicia shows the family enjoying a vacation, with Alicia and Swizz embracing and their sons, Genesis and Egypt, in matching blue shirts. Genesis is also a fan of Taylor Swift, and Alicia took him to her Eras concert in 2023. Genesis even had the chance to meet Taylor backstage, with a sweet moment captured of him waving at her during an award show.
An older photo from 2015 shows Alicia and Swizz with their eldest son, Egypt, and Swizz’s second oldest son, Kasseem Jr., enjoying a New York Knicks basketball game, demonstrating the joy and closeness of their blended family.
