NEW YORK (AP) - Alicia Keys is in a motherhood state of mind: She's pregnant with her first child.
The Grammy Award-winning R&B singer has been dating producer Swizz Beatz, who has written hits for Beyonce (bee-AHN'-say), Jay-Z and others. They're engaged to be married at a private ceremony later this year.
Representatives for the couple confirmed the news Thursday night.
Keys last year teamed up with Jay-Z for a hit song about New York called "Empire State of Mind." She's among a string of international artists slated to perform at a June 10 concert to mark the start of the World Cup soccer tournament in South Africa.
Beatz has been married before and has two sons.

whatsup said...She is a homewrecker and Iost respect in her. I am no longer her fan! She is a singer, but also a role model, like it or not. She should be ashamed of herself. I hope he cheats on her too later on after they spent years together and she feels sheltered and settled and madly in love!
