Alicia Keys: I Didn’t Break Up Swizz Beatz’s Marriage

Trying to put an end to any home-wrecking rumors, Alicia Keys has spoken out – insisting that she and Swizz Beatz did not begin dating until after he split from his former wife.

The 30-year-old’s husband announced his separation from now ex R&B artist wife Mashonda Tifrere in April 2008, although their divorce was not finalized until 2010.

Two months later, the rapper married already-pregnant Alicia, however, the singer told the June issue of “Essense” there was no cheating involved, revealing, “We didn’t start seeing each other until months after they had separated.”

Keys went on to say that she “was aware of all the false things that were being said about me,” adding, “It definitely hurt.”
