Timeline of the couple’s relationship

Keys, 39, and Beatz, 41, — whose real name is Kasseem Dean, met when she was 15 and he was 17. Keys told Marie Claire UK in 2013 that she “didn’t really like him that much” and thought he was “too ostentatious”.

“Swizz will have the fastest car, the biggest jewelry, the loudest jacket,” she said. “Everything with him is really over the top. I used to see him and think, ‘He is so annoying.'”

Keys added that after several failed attempts by her management team to get the pair to work together, she eventually found herself in the studio with the rapper — and they hit it off.

Soon enough the pair were romantically linked and in 2009 he proposed. They got married in July 2010 on the French island of Corsica.

Just three months after they were married, the couple welcomed their first child, Egypt. In December 2014, Keys and Beatz welcomed a second son, Genesis Ali Dean.

In addition to his son with Mashonda Tifrere and two with Keys, Beatz has two other children from previous relationships.
