Rapper Swizz Beats and Alicia Keys have a blended family
Alicia Keys was a surprise guest star at Sunday's Super Bowl LVIII Half Time Show where Usher was the headline act, and we adored seeing the musical duo come together to bring all of the R&B nostalgia by performing their huge 2004 track, My Boo.
Although Usher was the main event, Alicia, 43, certainly stood out with a diamond-encrusted red hot catsuit while playing a phenomenal, abstract-designed red grand piano.
And the singer no doubt had the full support of her family who were proudly watching her perform for the millions of fans watching all over the globe, in particular her husband Swizz Beatz and their two sons.
Who is Alicia Keys married to?
Alicia Keys' husband is rapper and music producer Kasseem Daoud Dean, known professionally as Swizz Beatz.
The 45-year-old has worked behind the scenes with some of the biggest artists in the game for years now, including the likes of Busta Rhymes, Jay Z, Eve, the late DMX and more.

Swizz, who was already a father of three by then, and Alicia married in June 2010 in the Mediterranean and, by October, their first child was born.
Do Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz have children?
In October 2010, Alicia and Swizz welcomed their first son together, Egypt. Now 13, it's clear that Egypt has an extremely close bond with his parents and Egypt is often seen playing the piano – no doubt following in his mom's footsteps.
Four years later in December 2014, Swizz and Alicia welcomed their second son, Genesis. The proud parents recently celebrated his ninth birthday with a montage of stunning pictures as the mother-of-two wrote: "Happy Born Day My Amazing Son! You are singularly spectacular!!!

Egypt's birthday
Every mom can certainly relate to Alicia when she shared how she couldn't believe how quickly her sons were growing up.
Marking Egypt's birthday back in October, which was extra special and he hit the teenager milestone, she said: "This can’t be real!! You can’t be 13!!!!
"You are a dream come true!! May the most high protect you!! and may you always walk like the young king you are."
Genesis' birthday
In December, Alicia was once again stunned at how quickly her youngest, Genesis, was growing.
The Grammy-winning singer shared a series of gorgeous images showing her special bond with her youngest and fans sent their happy birthday messages to the nine-year-old in the comments section.
Like mother like son
When your mom is Alicia Keys – a classically trained pianist and superstar singer – and your dad a music-producing icon, it's not surprising that you'd pick up the artistic bug.
Egypt looks like he's done exactly that in this photo of him playing at their piano at home. It's safe to say he has the best teacher in the 'biz!
Family portrait
This gorgeous photo shows Alicia, Swizz and their two boys enjoying a vacation.
Shared on Alicia's Instagram, both the mom and dad have their arms around each other as they all smile for the photo.
Genesis and Egypt are adorable in their matching blue shirts.
Genesis is a certified Swiftie
It's not just his older brother who loves music, Genesis is a certified Swiftie and his famous mom took him along to the Eras concert in 2023 and they had a blast.
Genesis even got to say hello to Taylor backstage, and it seems the pair go way back.
Alicia posted a sweet video of Genesis sitting on his dad's lap while at an award show waving at Taylor Swift who was just two seats away. Taylor waved back to the little boy in the adorable moment. So cute.
Enjoying the ball game
