These days, Alicia Keys is in a motherhood state of mind. The singer and her husband, Swizz “Kaseem Dean” Beatz, “joyfully welcomed their first child,” son Egypt Daoud Dean, on Oct. 14 in New York City. This is the couple’s first child, though Egypt “is welcomed by Beatz’s three other children,” the statement adds. Keys, 29, and Beatz, 32, are not only new parents together – they are also newlyweds.

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.
