Alicia Keys has literally been everywhere promoting her new album Girl on Fire. The 30-year-old singer recently stopped by The Wendy Williams Show as part of her promo campaign. During her visit, the songstress dished on her marriage with Swizz Beatz, motherhood, and more.
Keys on meeting her husband for the first time:
It was totally different because we met when I was 16 and he was 17. A friend of ours that went to his high school was like, Oh you gotta meet Swizz, and Alicia’s about to blow up and Swizz is doing his thing and maybe one day you’ll work together. And that was how we met.I think that what it was, what happened with us, it was so crazy. We’ve known each other so long, been friends for so long and been in the same industry for so long, but never thought it was like that. He’s actually kind of a little too ostentacious for my taste. He will wear not one but 16 chains, and he [won’t drive] a regular car, it’s the most craziest car. I think what happened was, he really got me when I saw how far his mind went. He’s really, really intelligent and knows so many interesting things. He knew all this stuff I had no idea about.I think that he loves to live life and he really showed me how to live life in a beautiful way.
