Tell Us What You Think
28The wife (he left for Alicia Keys), a Russian girl who lives in London, and a former girlfriend. He left the wife when she was pregnant; she miscarried. What a winner.
im happy for Alicia & Swizz Beatz!
Congrats Ali,may God bless you,your baby and your family.Take good care of Egypt he is a blessing.
I wish nothing but health and happiness for this baby, but the way these two got together while he was still married is trifling and low-down.
congrats keys! happy for you and your husband. love you all.
i wonder what he looks like. i bet he's adorable!!! but then again, when your mom is alicia keys, you are bound to be beautiful.
I absoulutely love alica but one has to wonder if this relationship is going to work. how could you involve ur self in a love triangle with a married man and sad part is you meet his wife and went to her baby shower. that's gotta be the biggest slap in the face ever. i know the heart wants what it wants but still as a parent we have to teach our children to try to be the best they can be and i hope u teach your children that helping break up a family no matter how justified isn't cool. i hope that in the future that all goes well for u and i tryly wish u the best. but as a black woman these things need to be said to you in order for you to see that sometimes the things that we do no matter who we are define what type of person or role model we want to be.
First thing is first--you must kno an aquarius first b4 u ask tha ? as to why she named her son Egypt. Aquarius do things that are outside of their norm. They are known to surprise and make u ? most of tha things they do. I believe the name came from one of tha tours she went on. I guess it influenced her in a spiritual way. The name alone speaks 4 it self
Egypt? That must have been one hard a$$ birth!
congrats girl, but the name Egypt.........dont you think its weird?
Thank You, what a great insight to having a child. I wish my kids could understand that. They really don't know yet!!!
wooooow God bless u alwayz
Congratulations to you both, I am humbled and will always pray for you. God will guide you both how to bring up the little boy as a responsible child to be in future. God Bless
alicia honey congrats i wish you all the best with your new bby boy
i think that is a great thing to see her as a great mother and her husband as a great father to his son
i have 2 kids the oldest is 29 so i am no novice here. at about 13 she''ll ready to kill him. she'll wonder why she is starting to hate this kid and what happened to that loving child. when they get a little older you have a different relationship, but, it is all in parenthood. congradulations better you than me. i hope they call him something else tho can you imagine running after him in the park screaming egypt egypt. lol
Why egypt? Don't be stupid he won't stay with you,he'll leave when he finds another women. It's in his nature,look...open your eyes.....
Stop Hating. Haters!!!!
I LOVE her...she has mad talent. But, WHY this guy? He cheated his ex and he will cheat her. He owed over 300k child support, and over 2 million in tax liens. I'm assuming Alicia paid it. Alicia is such a kind spirit and giving to many charities. Lost on this one!
I am very happy for her. I sure she will be a very good mother.She knows what takes to raise a child because her mother had done such a good job with her. Iwish her the best. congraduations!!!!
