The singer and her husband, Kaseem ‘Swizz Beatz’ Dean, “joyfully welcomed their first child, a son Egypt Daoud Dean on Thursday, Oct. 14 in New York City,” the couple’s rep confirms in a statement to PEOPLE. This is the couple’s first child together, though Egypt “is welcomed by Beatz’s three other children,” the statement adds. Keys, 29, and Beatz, 32, are also newlyweds. The singer and the rapper-producer got married in a private ceremony overlooking the Mediterranean Sea in July. At the time, the two didn’t know the gender of their child, but Swizz Beatz said they were excited to start a family together. “Whatever we’re blessed with, that baby is being born to blessed parents,” he told PEOPLE at the time. “Alicia is definitely one of those great parents-to-be. She’s super ready. Super glowing. Super happy.” On Thursday night, he seemed to be in a reflective mood, Tweeting, “I’m so thankful for everything I been blessed with in my life.” — Carlos Greer Related Articles Alicia Keys Has a Baby Boy Alicia Keys Shares Her Self-Care Tour Rituals as She Announces New Partnership with Ipsy Alicia Keys Recalls 'Tearing Up' After Recording First Song with Son Egypt: 'Super Proud Mom' Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz Show Off Their California Mansion: 'A Place to Create Dreams' Alicia Keys Says Watching Son Egypt Perform Made Her Emotional: 'Hit Me Like a Ton of Bricks' Chloë Sevigny, Tamron Hall & More Celebs Who Welcomed (& Are Expecting!)
