Alicia Keys and her husband, Swizz Beatz, turned the 2025 Grammy Awards into a date night with their two children.
The couple were pictured sitting inside the awards show on Sunday, February 2, alongside sons Egypt, 14, and Genesis, 10. (Beatz is also dad to son Prince, 24, with ex Nicole Levy, son Kaseem Jr., 18, with ex-wife Mashonda Tifrere and daughter Nicole, 16, with Jahna Sebastian.)
Keys, 44, stunned in a floor-length black gown with a gold metal corset that snatched her waist, pairing the look with matching shoulder-length earrings. Beatz, for his part, rocked an all-black double-breasted suit and black shades. Egypt donned a black leather USA Basketball jacket with glasses while Genesis wore a classic black tux.

Once inside the show, Keys and Genesis posed with his musical idol, Billie Eilish. (Nearly one year ago, Genesis asked the singer, 23, if they could be “friends,” to which she agreed.)
Keys was in attendance at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Sunday to receive the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award and to celebrate Hell’s Kitchen, a musical loosely based on her life story that uses her discography. Hell’s Kitchen, which opened on Broadway in April 2024, received the award for Best Musical Theater Album.
“We’re at the Grammys, we’re having a ball already,” Keys said in an Instagram Story video of her riding in the back of a golf cart. “Hell’s Kitchen just won. They didn’t even start, the night hadn’t even start[ed]. We’re having a ball. Big love.”
Keys and Beatz, 46, first crossed paths when they were both teenagers living in New York. Years later, the pair collaborated musically and began pursuing a romantic relationship. Keys and Beatz (real name Kasseem Daoud Dean) tied the knot in 2010 and went on to welcome their two sons.
While reflecting on their romance, Keys revealed to Marie Claire U.K. in 2013 that it wasn’t love at first sight for her and Beatz.

“Honestly, I didn’t really like him that much. I thought he was too ostentatious,” Keys told the outlet at the time. “Swizz will have the fastest car, the biggest jewelry, the loudest jacket. Everything with him is really over the top. I used to see him and think, ‘He is so annoying.’”
The pair have continued to gush over each other through the years, sharing sweet social media tributes to commemorate special occasions.
“HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE QUEEN OF NEW YORK @aliciakeys ,” Beatz wrote via Instagram in January. “Today all the planets align in your favor because you’re out of this world with greatness We love you so much Happy AK Day 1-25-25 .”
