On Thursday, R&B singer Alicia Keys stepped out along with her husband and her son, in New York City. This was the first time she showed off her son, Egypt.

Alicia Keys hasn’t made a fuss about her family and especially her son. But on Thursday, she went for a walk with her husband, Swizz Beatz, and her son Egypt, who is now 8 months old.  This was Egypt’s first public appearance. The cutie was wearing t-shirt and jeans and was held but his father. Keys hid her eyes under o pair of sunglasses and decided to fight the heat outside with as much white as she could wear. The three members of the family seemed to be in a very good mood. They quickly got into an SUV.

Eight months ago, in October, just after the birth of her son, Alicia Keys explained how being a mother has changed her way of perceiving life.
“Never have I felt such disbelief, such awe, humility, godliness, such strength, power and possibility” she said back then, adding a tender and cute description of her newborn baby: “I’ve never seen a more beautiful face in my LIFE! The most perfect eyes and beautiful nose, the sweetest lips and skin so soft and kissable!”

Alicia Keys, 30, and music producer Swizz Beatz, 32, ( real name: Kasseem Daoud Dean) announced their engagement in May 2010. At the same time they said they are expecting a child together. They had been dating for a couple of years. Rumours claim that Swizz was still married to singer Mashonda when they began seeing each other. Later in 2008 he separated from his wife. However, the new couple did not appear in public together until 2009. It was then that they confirmed their relationship. Swizz was in the process of getting a divorce from Mashonda, which was not going pretty well. It was a messy process, including the public spat on Twitter.

It’s been a while since then, and both  Keys and Beatz seem happy with their new family.
