Alicia Keys Pregnant — And Engaged!


A Shotgun Wedding: How charming! This should last at least 18 months….

Alicia Keys — Grammy-winning songbird and alleged homewrecker — is expecting her first child with fiance Swizz Beats, a newly-divorced anteater DJ and producer who reportedly began dating the “Un-Thinkable” star while his relationship with his now ex-wife, R&B singer Mashonda, was still ongoing.

“Un-Thinkable” indeed! Got yourself a winner there, honey….

Mashonda claims Swizz admitted that he was having an affair with Alicia back in 2008, after she stumbled across credit card statements and other documentation from their trysts in various hotels across the country.

The couple went public with their romance at the Gotham Magazine Gala in March, much to the chagrin of Swizz’s ex.

Although reps for the pair have refused to comment, a friend of the “very happy” lovebirds has divulged that Swizz and Alicia will be married in a private ceremony later this year, Entertainment Tonight reports.

In addition to Alicia, Swizz (whose real name is Kasseem Dean), 31, has produced music for Jay-Z, T.I., Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez, and Gwen Stefani. He has one son with Mashonda — Kasseem Jr., 3 — and an older child from a prior romance. There are also reports that the Abe Lincoln doppleganger has two other children, one who lives in Russia, conceived with former groupies — but you didn’t hear that from me.

At least one person won’t be breaking out any bubbly for the expectant parents. You guessed it; Mashonda. The bitter songbird is dragging the soon-to-be Mr. Keys back into court for later this month for failing to fork over more than $300,000 in maintenance payments.

Whatever happened to all those rumors accusing Alicia of being a lesbian?
