Alicia Keys is one of the most talented and successful singers in the world, with 15 Grammy Awards and countless hits to her name. She is also a proud mother of two sons, Egypt and Genesis, with her husband, producer Swizz Beatz. But is the 42-year-old star expecting another child? That’s what some fans are wondering after her appearance at the Super Bowl LVIII halftime show, where she performed with Usher.
The Pregnancy Speculations
The pregnancy speculations started as soon as Keys joined Usher on stage to sing their hit songs “If I Ain’t Got You” and “My Boo”. Some viewers took to social media to share their observations and questions about Keys’ possible baby news.
“Alicia Keys didn’t look pregnant to y’all?” One person tweeted.
“Did Alicia Keys look pregnant to y’all? Are we getting a peek like Rihanna last time?” Another person wrote, referring to Rihanna’s surprise pregnancy announcement at the Super Bowl halftime show the year before.
Some fans also pointed out the similarities between Keys and Rihanna’s outfits, both of which were red and sparkly.
The Official Response
Neither Alicia Keys nor Swizz Beatz have addressed the pregnancy rumors as of yet, leaving them as mere speculations for now. However, the couple did share some photos and videos of their family on Instagram, showing their support and love for Keys’ performance.
Swizz Beatz also reacted to the viral hug between Keys and Usher, which some joked might make him jealous. He posted a video of himself cheering for the duo, captioning it “My Boo” with a heart emoji.
The Performance
Keys joined Usher on stage to sing their classic duet “My Boo”, as well as her solo hit “If I Ain’t Got You”. She looked stunning in a red sequined Dolce & Gabbana outfit that hugged her curves and showed off her figure. However, some eagle-eyed viewers noticed what seemed to be a slight bump on her belly, sparking rumors that she might be pregnant.
The Reactions
The internet was quick to react to Keys’ possible pregnancy, with many fans expressing their excitement and curiosity. Some compared her to Rihanna, who revealed her pregnancy at the previous Super Bowl halftime show, also wearing red. Others joked that Usher’s dancing with Keys might have made her husband jealous. Here are some of the tweets that captured the buzz:
- “Alicia Keys didn’t look pregnant to y’all?”
- “Did Alicia Keys look pregnant to y’all? Are we getting a peek like Rihanna last time?”
- “Usher & Alicia Keys… Wtf my TV is pregnant”
- “Is Alicia keys pregnant??”
The Co-Parenting Effort
Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz have been praised for their co-parenting effort, as they manage to blend their families and create a harmonious environment for their children. In a previous interview on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Keys expressed her joy in having a diverse and beautiful family.
“I feel like the family is such a beautiful and diverse unit and — as we’ve all experienced — our families come in all different sizes and shapes and versions,” Keys said in 2016.
She also revealed that she and Swizz Beatz have a weekly “blended family” dinner, where they invite all the children and their mothers to bond and communicate.
“We love each other. I mean, we hang out with each other. We go to dinner together,” Keys said. “We’re doing Thanksgiving, we’re doing the holidays. It is a beautiful partnership. And that is really, really special. I’m very, very proud of that.”
The Truth
So, is Alicia Keys really pregnant? The answer is: we don’t know for sure. Neither Keys nor Swizz Beatz have confirmed or denied the rumors, leaving them as mere speculations for now. It is possible that Keys was just wearing a tight-fitting outfit that accentuated her natural shape, or that she had a slight bloating that day. It is also possible that she is indeed pregnant, but wants to keep it private until she is ready to announce it. Until then, we can only respect her choice and wish her all the best.
