Alicia Keys has wed Swizz Beatz, her rep confirms to UsMagazine.com.

The singer, 29, who is pregnant, and the producer, 31, exchanged vows in front of close family and friends in a private home on the Mediterranean Sea.

Their friend Dr. Deepak Chopra presided over the intimate ceremony.

Keys wore an ivory silk, georgette-draped Vera Wang goddess gown with jewel detail on the back shoulder.

She carried a bouquet of purple calla lilies. The groom donned a classic Tom Ford tuxedo.

"Wowwwwwwwwww," Beatz (real name: Kasseem Dean) Twittered Saturday. He later wrote, "It's a brand new day :) I feel like Nas and Diddy song :) love y’all and blessing!"

Keys announced she was engaged -- and expecting! -- in late May.

"She is thrilled," a pal told Us at the time. "She is with the man who has inspired so much of her music and her new album [The Element of Freedom]."

Last fall, the producer gushed about their relationship. "What we have is so precious," he told the New York Daily News.

The two have been together since fall 2008.

Beatz is currently in the studio working on his third album; Keys released her fourth studio album, The Element of Freedom, last year.

    Jamarra take it from me, I amspeaking from experience as one who has had to suffer the same consequences and worse like those of the wowman who was betrayed, do not for starters go around preaching that because we all sin that there should not be any ramifications to all our actions. If you are going to use the Holy word of God for your argument then make sure you are standing on the holy ground of God without your shoes on, long story short he who sows to the flesh from the flesh shall reap destruction, he who sows to the spirit from the spirit shall reap eternal life, did you really take note of my argument when most if not all of my argument was directed at the man, a small portion of it is directed at alicia keys, but the majority of the argument is directed at the man. Think about that why is that? The argument for we are all sinners will no longer fly, because God has provided what is necessary for us to escape the slavery to sin, God looks at us like sinners, but the implication of your argument is God also tolerates our sins, if that be the case The Lord Jesus is degrading His own Holiness and also setting aside His judgments and retributions that every person shall be rewarded for all their deeds both good and bad. Now the truth of that argument is if God would set aside His Character attributes He is in effect denying Himself, God will not and cannot do that, which brings us back to the argument what we do shall be rewarded, and the measuring for our rewards is the Holiness of the Almighty, there is no standard inside all of creation to measure ourselves by that will act as a satisfactory plumb line to determine if our actions are righteous. Why not judge them, you are judging me for giving a truthful analysis of the situation, and then you have the hypocritical audacity to turn around in the next heart beat and tell me not to judge. I make a judgment not based on any ethics or philosophies of this world, but on the word of God, the eternal word of God, if there is any rational common sense present, better to be judged by me, where any ramifications of these acts can be averted through an honest perseverance of leading a righteous life in the eyes of Him who is Eternal, then to be judged by Him who after He has made His decision will use the "sinners" as added fuel for HIs permanent bonfire. What should I lower my convictions and approve of this stupidity so we can all have a nice little bonfire and share a peace pipe singing Kumbaya and getting along but turning a blind eye to the atrocities that mankind can get into. Question if you are willing to turn a blind eye on an act that has destroyed (not thinking future tense, but present tense - the play is on) a family, what other atrocities would you turn a blind eye to, drunk driving, rape, theft that leads to stabbings, murder. If you come back with the argument "this is preposterous" or you wouldn't approve of those, then where is the defining line for your own moral standard. Drunk driving leads to family's lives being destroyed, at least there is a better hope for recovery after a swift destructive act, rape the victim has a better to recover through counselling etc, murder justice is dealt to the guilty party, but this has no standard to determine when it is right and wrong, or does it, and when people like myself express these values, not opinions because opinions change from day to day, but values, because these are totally based on the eternal standards of The Almighty, we are told not to judge, please if you don't like being judged don't make mistakes because when you make mistakes those who are justified are blessed to judge according to the standards that everyone is subjected regardless if they choose to follow them or not. If you don't follow them, well don't cry when your life is screwed up. I have so much more to say regarding this and a few of the idealistic confused standards and values that you possess that I would write for hours and end and you still wouldn't be able to satiate my questioning and answers with your own deluded life style. Get a standard in life, and wake up to the atrocities and selfish acts that humanity live by. In reality animals that walk around on all fours are exhibiting far better standards than most human beings, hows that?

    not to be rude or agree with alicia keys but.... if you are a christian then youy have no business slandering or judging anyone because we all are humman.. Not to mention @ brenda honey that alicia keys hair she is not mixed for no reason ok.... and come on both mashunda and alicia keys are equally beautiful women,, yes what she did was wrong she messed with a married man ...but best believe he also played a part in this too.. @ David you know your bible that is great...but one thing i must say if you know your bible well then you will know that every sin is a sin... you get it ....this means a man can lie one day and another man can go kill someone the next AND THE LORD will still look at them both as sinners.. inwhich he does not put a weight on a sin they are both the same... sin is sin.... although you are absolutely correct what they did was very wrong and yea their child might be a sacrifice.. but one thing i must say you are not in either one of their shoes and sometimes humans do give in to sin especially when it comes to matters of the heart... but dont get on here and judge people because remeber you are human two and i know you have sinned before becaause no one is perfect only God is.. so stop wishing bad on alicia keys and swiss beatz.. thats one thing you dont do and let God have the say ..not you guys.... God can see evrything and he knows what you are going to do before you do it.. duhhhh... ok now yall be blessed

    Reality of the situation, this is doomed to fail, for many reasons first one being, anything that is established with vows before the Almighty can only be blessed when performed in activities of Righteousness. Wickedness will not sojourn with Holiness. Marriage is a covenant based on holiness. A fast lesson to learn from this, and it has happened from the exact same scenario, but vice versa. King David in the Old Testament got involved with a woman of another relationship she was married to this other man, this other man was a Military soldier of the king's army, (you could say the other was David's right hand man) while the soldier was off fighting for the king's campaigns, the King decided to act upon his lusts, and had the woman brought into his private chamber (obviously for a booty call), then after he had done what he pleased she went back to her house, then the king had this man brought back from the battlefield, and tried to get him to spend some time with his wife. The reason for this being was she became pregnant to David, so he tried to cover up his foolish actions by getting him to sleep with her, so that when she announced she was pregnant the illusion would be Uriah was the daddy, however you can all gather it was David. When the attempt to get him to spend time with his wife failed, the king ordered that Uriah be put in the frontline where the heat is the hottest and death is imminent. So by more deception the king sends his right hand man to his death, or another way to look at it "murdering one of his most trusted companions". Then after he had succeeded in having his close companion murdered he had a visit from the Prophet Nathan. Nathan gave a story in regards to this situation, because he was given Divine Wisdom as to the seriousness of the king's actions and how God looked upon this situation according to His Divine Justice. The Prophet relayed the message, not long after the baby was born God's hand was against the child, the baby fell ill, and within eight days of the baby becoming ill, it died. For all the people out there who think this union is a good idea, it ain't, like this dude's wife stated "better to be smart than choose the spark, because sparks create flames, flames get fuel added to it to make the fire bigger, and fire always burns." This is doomed to crash and burn. For anyone who comes up with that lame reasoning "the man wasn't happy in his first marriage", if he can't do it right in the first one, he didn't learn his lessons to keep his love strong what could he possibly do to make the second union work, when he didn't know what he did wrong in the first place to destroy the marriage? And here's another kicker to the problem he committed adultery, then he destroyed his own family, then he betrays the woman he was committed to, and he destroys his son's lessons to develop integrity, he also teaches his son that screwing around is a good thing, he teaches his son that you can have your main meal and a side meal at the same time, he definitely shows his own children how to destroy the values of family. This swizz beatz isn't happy in his first marriage, and he was bound to leave, he broke other laws that govern a successful marriage, "STAY COMMITTED" if he has definitely shown himself to be a failure to committing to a lifelong agreement between God, Himself, and His Wife, he's gonna drop his pants and show the world what he truly is inside. And he will also have God definitely assisting him to show his nakedness. Just like Adam and Eve broke God's laws, apart from his wife, he broke God's laws, and God cast him out to work thorns and thistles. No doubt out about God will honor His word, He will cast him out and give him and his new family more pain then all of them combined can handle. No one makes a fool of God and can expect to get away from it. He will destroy him with a level of intelligence this cat and his kitten cannot dream to foresee coming

    Acatualy angie u R right! People can be too judgemental!! However His then wife, now ex- wife did make it public. by publicly twitting Alicia often asking her if she was involved w her then husban. Alicia was pregnant by him while he was still married & not divorced. His wife & Alicia did have a friendship. And Both Swizz & Alicia "Denied" the Affair. Their reps now confirm it. Reality is not judgemental. It's just Truth! Truth ain't always pretty, or nice, or politcally correct, or moraly correct. It is just what Exist. but it does not make the person "All Bad". How ever being married eventhough i feel Imy marriage is taken a turn for the worst. i would not want my children to witness this type of protocal w a relationship as serious as a "Marriage" or even a close 'friendship" ending. there are more appropriate ways to end / or change a relationship. & then begin a "New" one.

    I wonder what kind connections alicia Keys has, that she's not included in any of the major websites in regards to her affair with her now husband, whom was already married with a child. They even lied to his wife about it & then left her & her son high & dry. I can't wait for another beautiful mega star female artist works closely with swizz beats & becomes in awe. May Alicia get what she so wickedly gave. she could have kept herself available in hopes that this mans' marriage goes down hill. but she made sure she inticed a man whom had no divorce in progress. It's my understanding that his wife twitted her & begged her to not become romantically involve w her husband, whom she loved very much. If he couldn't control himself w Alicia, let's see who else gets him. After all Alicia looks like a lighter version of his wife. Except his wife's hair is fuller & longer than Ms. Keys. but he'll soon see if he's really atracted to her when the weave out & her Proactive facial cleaner runs low!lol

    Honestly and truly she is trash. She was seeing him while they were married and the child was almost 3 when Swizz finaly divorced his wife. She is the reason for destruction, she should have stepped back. He was just a coward and chose the easy way out, I guess that is what her Twits meant and sounding like a real twit herself lol..." Its called Karma baby.. and it goes around" remember this Alicia the song you sang. All this time she was fighting against his marriage so Swizz could marry her but he going get a reality check. Both will.

    Mashonda Blames Alicia Keys For Ruining Her Marriage With Swizz Beatz Editors Note: I try not to post about things that I consider personal matters, but the drama behind this is just too good to pass up. Says Vibe: R&B singer Mashonda, currently involved in a divorce with Swizz Beatz, wrote an open letter today (September 26) to the producerâ??s current girlfriend Alicia Keys, calling her twitter posts â??insensitive.â?? Posted using Twitlonger, which allows for messages that exceed 140 characters, Mashondaâ??s letter touched on her feelings on the love triangle which eventually split her and Swizz. According to Mashondaâ??s note, the cause is a post from Alicia Keysâ?? twitter account, which asked, â??[In] love, is it better to go [for] the choice that is smart or the choice that has spark?â?? You can read Mashondaâ??s entire letter below: After having a great evening with my son and enjoying some fun twit chat, I decided to sign off and get some work done. However, a few hours later I was advised that I should check @aliciakeys twit page. Iâ??ve never reached out to her on twitter before. I feel our issues are a lot more serious than a website conversation. Not to mention that Iâ??ve reached out to her many times in the beginning of this whole thing, as any wife would do. Unfortunately, I never succeeded in getting a response. The 1st time I meet AK, my husband introduced us to each other at an event. ( I have no choice but to call him my husband, until he is not anymore) In the messages that I sent to her (AK), I made it very clear that on the contrary of what she might be hearing, I am still married to my husband, living with him and just had a child. Its been two years and I still have not received a response. What I do receive, is constant displays of selfishness and disconcern to me and my son. I was a fan of AKâ??s last album, we were both signed to J Records and I always checked up on her projects. I sang her songs and admired her for creating Superwoman and Karma, I would never deny her, her talent. I believed in her until I found out she was possibly sleeping with my husband. The affair was denied by both, until it was finally admitted months later. Already I can hear some of you saying â?? why are u blaming her, You cant make someone leave their wife, You cant break something thats brokenâ??. Well, my marriage was not broken, as far as I knew we were celebrating our sons birth and getting ready to celebrate our 5 year wedding anniversary . Call it blind love, whatever. I call it being a devoted wife.. As far as me blaming her and not blaming him, thats false. Me and my husband have worked out our differences. We are in a good place as people and as parents. I accept his choices and I am comfortable enough with myself to move on. I am so very blessed in many ways. My concern with AK is no longer the fact that she assisted in destroying a family but that she has the audacity to make these selfish comments about love and wanting to be with someone, even after knowing their situation. How is this the same Superwoman that I sang out loud with in my truck? I ask myself sometimes. If you are reading this Alicia, let me start by saying, you know what you did. You know the role you played and you know how you contributed to the ending of my marriage. You know that I asked you to step back and let me handle my family issues. Issues that you helped to create. Im not saying everything was perfect all the time but no relationship is perfect. We made a vow to God and I believe you should have respected that, as a woman. I know you owe me or my son nothing but I just wish you wouldâ??ve handled things more carefully. Iâ??m not judging you, I put you and the whole situation in the hands of God, the Higher Power. Just know that as a woman, I expected so much more from you. I never had intentions on reaching out to you this way but after reading your twits tonight, and the constant disregard, you left me no choice. I feel that after 1 and a half years of you hiding this affair and acting like it doesnt exist, that now is the time to confront it, since you talk so openly about it now This is not a publicity stunt, I dont have a record coming out. I just need to close this chapter in my life and that means confronting our issues. There is a small child involved. His dad loves him to death and he wants to spend more time with him but hes afraid because he knows we donâ??t have a relationship. This is my main concern. My son NEEDS his dad and I NEED to be comfortable with you. For him! I know many will see my point and many will not be able to look into whatâ??s real because they only want to see Alicia Keys the celebrity, not the human. This is not for the â??peopleâ??, this is for you. Like I said I was left no choice but to reach out to you this way. By now, Im sure you want to find a balance in this as well. I read your tweets tonight and I felt they were very insensitive. You have no idea how much pain I was caused because of this affair. Its baffling to me that you donâ??t understand what I might have gone through with this situation. I dont consider myself a victim anymore, Ive learned alot from this! I just ask you to try and be a bit more realistic and delicate to the situation, at least until my divorce is final. I felt me attending the party would have been a starting point for us, since you shook my hand after I offered it, but I suppose I was wrong. If its so, that you and my husband are meant to be together, then God bless you both and I hope you never have to deal with what I did. I would not wish it on my worst enemy. If you two being together forever is the case, its more of a reason for us to get along, because Iâ??m not going anywhere. Theres a child to be raised. To answer your tweet, choose smart over spark. Sparks burn everyone, be smart! Its simple actually, just think of the shoe being on the other foot. Stay blessed and lets work this thing out with respect and dignity.

    It is so interesting to see the 'holier than tho' attitude espoused by so women. The man was clearly not happy in his first marriage that is why he started dating Miss Keys. I'm almost sure she didn't go out there to destroy his marriage, I believe that he would have divorced sooner but was waiting for the children's sake. I believe he finally realise it doesn't make sense to stay in a loveless marriage just for the children because you not only punish yourself but you punish the children in the long run. Good Luck and Blessings Alicia and Swizz!!

    Alicia is a homewrecker. She's pregnant and feel the pressure of shame to get married. She is wrong and married this man wont change the fact that she's a sl*t. When you see Alicia and Swizz you think Homewreckers. She never get the respect of the title Mrs. Bible says Adultery is wrong and all she did was marry into Adultery. She is the adulterous bride. Mashond will always be the one and only wife if you read the bible. I don't know why folks congrat a person for commiting a forbidden act.

    What difference does it matter if they were married before the baby was born or not they already conceived the baby out of wedlock. The reports did come out that they were dating before he left his first wife, but if Alicia contributed to their marriage being broke up then she will REAP WHAT SHE SOW.
