This couple is on fire! After Alicia Keys<\/strong><\/a> joined Usher<\/strong> for a surprise (and steamy) duet during his Super Bowl 2024 halftime show<\/a>, fans are wondering about her husband and their relationship history. The singer married Swizz Beatz<\/strong> in 2010, and they have been going strong since.\n<\/p>\n Swizz, whose real name is Kasseem Daoud Dean<\/strong>, is a record producer and rapper.<\/p>\n The Bronx native is well-known in the hip-hop community and is behind some of the genre\u2019s best bops like Jay-Z\u2019<\/strong>s \u201cOn to the Next One,\u201d Beyonc\u00e9<\/strong>\u2018s \u201cCheck On It\u201d and his own 2007 single \u201cIt\u2019s Me B\u2013ches.\u201d He rose to fame thanks to his work with fellow rapper DMX<\/strong> in the mid-90s.<\/p>\n The two met when they were both teenagers, but didn\u2019t get together until several years later. The R&B singer wasn\u2019t always so into her bae, but that all changed when they worked together. \u201cSwizz will have the fastest car, the biggest jewelry, the loudest jacket. Everything with him is really over the top. I used to see him and think, \u2018He is so annoying,’\u201d she told Marie Claire<\/em> in June 2013. \u201cI fought it tooth and nail. Why should I work with him? Finally though, we did it, and had a ball because guess what? We made music in ten minutes,\u201d she laughed.<\/p>\n \u201cI think we\u2019ve taught each other a lot,\u201d the \u201cIf I Ain\u2019t Got You\u201d singer continued to the outlet at the time. \u201cHe\u2019s taught me to live more fully, and I think I\u2019ve taught him to live more deeply.\u201d<\/p>\n The power couple shares two kids together. Their first child, a son named Egypt, was born in October 2010. The couple welcomed baby No. 2, a son named Genesis, in December 2014. Swizz also has three other kids from previous relationships \u2014 Prince Nasir, Kasseem Jr. and Nicole.<\/p>\n Like most songwriters, Alicia spills her heart out when she writes music, so of course some of her songs would be inspired by the love of her life! In \u201cThat\u2019s When I Knew,\u201d the Grammy winner describes being \u201call in\u201d with Swizz after falling for him \u201call of a sudden.\u201d<\/p>\n Alicia shared her secret to a long and happy relationship during a 2023 interview with The Wall Street Journal<\/em>.<\/p>\n \u201cReally carving out the time for each other,\u201d the \u201cGirl on Fire\u201d singer told the outlet at the time, adding that this was something \u201cwe all struggle with.\u201d She continued that this \u201cpriceless\u201d time spent together \u201creally pours back into the relationship.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYou remember why you are in love, you remember why you just like each other, what\u2019s interesting about each other,\u201d Alicia concluded.<\/p>\n In response to the fans who pointed out that Alicia and Usher got pretty cozy on stage during their Super Bowl LVIII performance, Swizz took to Instagram to call viewers out for stirring false speculation.<\/p>\n \u201cY\u2019all talking about the wrong damn thing !!!\u201d Swizz wrote under a photo carousel from his wife\u2019s performance, including one of Usher hugging her from behind.<\/p>\n He continued his post in a humorous way, adding, \u201cy\u2019all don\u2019t see that amazing dress covering the entire stadium.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cTonight\u2019s performance was nothing but amazing with 2 amazing Giants ! Congrats @usher and my love @aliciakeys that song is a classic,\u201d Swizz added, referring to their 2004 collaboration \u201cMy Boo.\u201d The proud husband concluded his caption with, \u201cWe don\u2019t do negative vibes on this side we make history,\u201d along with a peace sign emoji.<\/p>\n Just hours after Swizz shut down rumors that there was something going on between Alicia and Usher, news broke that Usher had married his longtime girlfriend<\/a>, Jennifer Goicoechea<\/strong><\/a>, over the Super Bowl weekend.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nWho Is Alicia Keys\u2019 Husband Swizz Beatz?<\/h2>\n
