Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys have never argued.
Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys have been married since 2010
The 46-year-old record producer married Alicia, 44, back in 2010, and Swizz insists that they’ve never had an argument in all the time they’ve been together.
He told Us Weekly: “Marriage is definitely a big word, but look at it like your best friend.
“The communication is there. We’ve never had an argument. Since we’ve been together, our kids [have] never seen it; never seen us raise our voice [or] never seen us yell. Never seen us curse at each other. Why? Because of communication.”
The loved-up couple – who have sons Egypt, 14, and Genesis, ten, together – feel that nothing can be resolved by arguing.
Swizz – whose real name is Kasseem Dean – said: “People think they can own people. You can’t. It’s not property that you own. There’s a whole human, right?
“So, we’re very clear on that. She’s her own boss. I’m my own boss. That’s how we make magic when we come together. I think that helps because people start getting very territorial and making their partner property, and I think that’s the biggest mistake.”
Swizz was born and raised in the Bronx, in New York, and the producer hopes that his success can inspire some up-and-coming stars.
The producer – who also has Prince Nasir, 24, Kasseem Jr, 18, and, Nicole, 16, from previous relationships – said: “Coming from the South Bronx, if I can do it, anybody can do it.
“I come from the lowest of the low. I hope I can leave a legacy where people that doubt themselves can just go hard and use what I’ve done – what my family is doing – as a stepping stone and a blueprint to get into the next level.”
