Miss Info Exclusive: It’s Official! Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys celebrate their marriage in Sardinia and Corsica! (UPDATE)
Posted by Miss Info under Crony-ism , Exclusives , Good For Hip Hop , Life Beyond Rap , Photos , Relationships and Family[50] Comments
(Swizz and Alicia attended Russell Simmons’ Art for Life* benefit last weekend in the Hamptons….before leaving for their wedding celebration in Sardinia’s Costa Smeralda)
I’d like to be the first to congratulate Swizz Beatz and his wife Alicia Keys on their wedding celebration that happened today (Sat. July. 31st, 2010). Swizz hit me up about the festivities last week, but I promised to keep it under wraps until the big day.
The couple brought together an intimate gathering of family and friends and celebrated their new marriage and their baby on the way, aboard a 260-foot yacht on the Mediterranean Sea, near Sardinia’s uber-exclusive Costa Smeralda enclave* (think St.Tropez-swag on 100-thousand-trillion, lol). UPDATE: The wedding ceremony was held on land at a beautiful estate in Corsica, while the boat partying was part of the celebration. Check out here: Swizz and Alicia’s Wedding Photos
(Swizz’s first reaction to his wedding-celebration day*, lol)
(more wedding details after the jump….)
Just last weekend, the couple was in the Hamptons, at Russell Simmons’ annual Art For Life benefit*. And while Swizz recently told OK Magazine* that he was actively involved in the planning of his wedding, he’s also been juggling studio time with Coldplay, Lenny Kravitz, and for his own album.
Obviously because Swizz and AK aren’t Italian citizens, they got officially hitched in the Tri-State area before leaving for Europe. And at that small ceremony, the bride reportedly wore Vera Wang, the groom wore Tom Ford, and, of course, the footwear was all Louboutin (Swizz’s friend and collaborator*). Meanwhile Swizz celebrated with not one but two bachelor parties, one in New York and one on Friday (July 30) at Sardinia’s legendary Billionaire Club (owned by Formula One scion Flavio Briatore and home to the $50k Cristal methuselahs)*.
The groom hinted at his party on twitter* last night, saying, “MY PARTY IS CRAZYYYYYYYY ITALY BABY.” I’ve been hearing details about Friday’s all-white party and the lifestyle of Costa Smeralda…it definitely seems like a slice of “La Dolce Vita” that traditionally excludes rather than embraces diversity. I love seeing our hip-hop home-grown bringing their sensibility to the rest of the world, and soaking up art and culture in an even exchange. Much love to the couple and their families, and also to T.I. and Tiny who got married on Friday* : )

July 31st, 2010 at 10:31 pm
Alicia my gurl and everything but…Swizz talk to DAMN much 4 my liking. If silence speaks 4 itself then keep your mouth shut!! Especially if ur as articulate as a 10 yr old. Mayb talkin is a result of his ego being crushed by people opinions of his drama but bcuz of that, he gets the *side-eye*.
Swizz has something to prove. Cuz If he fuks this up with ALICIA KEYS?!! He’s really an IDIOT.
July 31st, 2010 at 11:57 pm

I guess I was tripping lol.
August 1st, 2010 at 12:07 am
Swizz won… Congrats to the homie.
August 1st, 2010 at 12:42 am
“Showtime!” – AK, right before the ceremony.
August 1st, 2010 at 1:19 am
i have great respect for alicia but im still very disappointed in her for getting involved with a then married swizz. as a women i cant help but feel bad for mashonda. alicia knows better than anyone that life is about karma. swizz has 3 kids with 3 different women and alicia makes number 4. i wish them a happy and healthy baby and i hope he is a better husband to alicia than he was to mashonda. blessings.

August 1st, 2010 at 8:33 am
f@ck this dude is oooogly.its not fair.
August 1st, 2010 at 10:07 am
Well said…
August 1st, 2010 at 10:26 am
Congrats to Alicia & Swizz . I have falling in love with a married man myself ,and i’m married also. When I tell you I prayed ,and prayed ,and prayed ,but he was always the answer to my prayers.What is one to do when you ask God for help ,and he tells you this is what I have planned for you.I never ever cheated on my previous boyfriends(2) before I got married,and my feelings for the man i’m having an affair with is something I never felt in my life.I had doubts before I got married ,and I should have listened to my gut when it told me that there was someone else out there for me.It is my belief that karma does not stand a chance when it is in Gods will for you to be with someone.We both have agreed to leave our spouse,and be together.He has one child ,and I have no children.You never know what life has in store for you trust me.

miss info: if it was swizz but another married man that AK was dating & [edit] & pregnant by, would u report the truth?
I am so disappointed in AK. She was such a postivie role model for young girls. I doubt her cheating *ss will be invited to the white house by mrs obama now.
August 1st, 2010 at 2:25 pm
CORRECTION: if it WASNT swizz, but another man
is what I meant.
Does AK not have true friend to tell her that this was wrong? & as this progressed they still didnt advise her?
What about her mom Terry? Momma T how could you not talk to your daughter?
August 1st, 2010 at 3:15 pm
you are so lucky to be the most moral person in the universe. congratulations.
August 1st, 2010 at 3:16 pm
the truth….as in, the guy started a relationship while married, got divorced, got engaged, his fiancee got pregnant, and now they are married?
There ya’ go.
August 1st, 2010 at 3:37 pm
it’s really nice to see you blog keep it up
August 1st, 2010 at 3:55 pm
lmao @info
August 1st, 2010 at 4:13 pm
Please, you talking about Alica being a positive role model for young girls, what the h*ll about Ciara? The grinding , stripper dancing is ok for our young girls? Where is ciara’s mother? What just because you don’t hear about ciara’s sexual life she is a positive role model? Stop pointing fingers. Oh and i doubt Ciara stripper wannabe a** will be invited to the White HOuse either.
August 1st, 2010 at 4:18 pm
Well Missinfo you didn’t seem to have a problem talking shit about another artist who you say cheated on his wife and now is divorced but yet you acting like Swizz and Alicia’s union is something moral! You didn’t have a problem announcing the negative about that artist’s business on this very site and you claim to be friendly with said artist…but now since its Swizz and Alicia it’s cool. You industry people are so phony and bias!
August 1st, 2010 at 4:25 pm
NOOOO! Alicia its too late to change your mind now! Gotta Hate Swiss!
August 1st, 2010 at 4:35 pm
Oh Swizz started a “relationship” the correct term should be CHEATED on his wife with Alicia for 2 years, got his mistress/fiancé pregnant while still married to his wife, disrespected his wife on video, got a divorce 2 months ago and married his 5 month pregnant mistress/fiancé yesterday! Missinfo does that sound MORALLY correct to you?
August 1st, 2010 at 5:56 pm
Miss Info these people get on my nerves acting like they have never done anything wrong.You never ever know what you will do in life trust me.
August 1st, 2010 at 5:58 pm
@lilkunta i understand what you mean. i do believe the reporting by the media would have been much different if there were different ppl involved. mashonda would be looked at as a victim instead of a villian, alicia would be looked at as a home wrecker and swizz would be the low down dirty cheatin husband, but since they (alicia & swizz) have friends in the media, it will never be reported that way. mashonda is not as popular or connected as swizz and alicia, the media could care less about how she feels, i feel sorry for her but its time to move on, its none of our business. alicia & swizz are married now. blessings
August 1st, 2010 at 8:30 pm
I understand, but the Word of God says “Everything in Deceitacy and Order”. God honors marriage and DOES NOT bless sin. I pray that when both of you leave your spouses that you repent and THEN ask God to bless your relationship. I am not judging because we have all been in sticky situations, but I just could not have people think God works like that.
August 1st, 2010 at 9:25 pm
Why is it ok to pour massive amounts of praise on certain people, but you can’t say anything when they do some fishy shit? It’s like people don’t even want to recognize this situation might just be pretty fucked up and wrong. Just maybe. I’m just saying…
August 1st, 2010 at 9:26 pm
Won what?
August 1st, 2010 at 9:57 pm
@haha, you are actually right. if you go by the timeline of events, you hit it on the nail perfectly. the media will never portray it that way though
August 2nd, 2010 at 12:08 am
never said anything is moral. I don’t know any purely moral people, so I don’t arbitrarily hold celebs to a higher moral plane in their personal lives.
August 2nd, 2010 at 7:44 am
ms info: well, thx 4 finally saying something. i get that you want to maintain a relationshihip w your industry contacts.
but haha put the truth up chronologically. he was dating ak 4 2 yrs, didnt finally separate until last year march /april after we fans called him out. he got ak pregnant & got engaged, all while still married.
not a good way to start a relationship.
will he be faithful to ak? cus his history aint good.
i can believe ak is blind. is it the pregnancy hormones?
August 2nd, 2010 at 7:52 am
@ to the blind one: Yes I am talking about ak being a + role model bc she was. No Imnot talking about Ciara. The ride video def ISNT for little girls(& neither is any souljah boy song! neither was bk’s check on it, deja vu, & many more…but that is for another conversatin). I do think Ciara would be invited to the Obama WH for a fitness event bc she is very fit & healthy.
now back to Ak. have you listened to ak’s songs?
the speeches she gives to young girls?
she has repeatedly said that she is about ladies supporting 1 another & about empowerment.
how is she following her speeches by dating, fv cking, getting pregnant by a married man?
ak was(is? i didnt listen to her current cd bc of my disappointment) an SUPERB artist. She got every1 across the world interested in piano in a way that hasn’t been seen since Stevie & Ray charles. AK no question wrote her songs & the music. her vids intrigues us not bc she was oiled up & humping & shakin her *ss, but bc the vids tols a great story that went with the song! AK 2001-2008 was simple fantastic & untouchable.
August 2nd, 2010 at 8:00 am
@ tammy: i always try to read a bunch of diff sources. msinfo, mtv may have sugar coated it. but vibe, complex, others told it like it truthfully was. when i saw the pic of ak/kaseem together back in 7 i thought no big deal bc he is her producer.plus i thought she was dating kerry @ that time.
now to find out she had been dating him since end of 2007! & his mean butt told M on MOTHER’DAY 8 that he was cheating….reallly bad bad bad!If it had ended here I wouldnt be so hard. But he then willingly went to marital counseling all thru 8 , while still dating AK. Y did he do that? If he knew his heart was not w hiw wifeM, it was w AK, he shoulda filed for separation right then, not waited a whole other year!
i just dont see how AK didnt see this was a bad situation? I think now she has gotten pregnant, engaged, & married it may be pregnany hormones. but she wasnt clear headed from 2007-start of 2010?
& her songs just make it worse. a woman’s worth? karma? superwoman?
so disappointed.
August 2nd, 2010 at 8:25 am
ms info: i think my morals are good. i havent ever cheated & dont plan on it. i wont knowingly date a married man as ak did. & if im dating & find out he is married, it is over. IT IS that simple. If it is truly love once he at least legallly separates(papers files) & moves out & isnt in marital counseling, we could try again.
But I have lied. I stole candy from the 7-11.
i guess she is only human, not the superwoman she claimed.
August 2nd, 2010 at 8:44 am
Tweeting and sending blogs personal info that is so not Alicia’s style. Swizz no wonder folks of skeptical of your intentions
August 2nd, 2010 at 8:45 am
Love, honey you are obviously praying to the wrong God because it’s like Moe said, “God honors marriage.” God is not going to tell you that you need to be with somebody else’s husband or wife. That is you own selfish desire; not God’s. Repent.
August 2nd, 2010 at 11:02 am
They are a beautiful couple and you can see the love……….
I wish them nothing but God’s blessings of love, good health, peace and true happiness.
Only God forgives and loves unconditional and ask us to do the same.
Our sin is that of gossip which spread lies and malice towards others.
God is love! Love is God! I embrace God completely in my live.
I sin every day and always ask forgiveness from the most high!!!
August 2nd, 2010 at 4:56 pm
humpty hump.
August 2nd, 2010 at 6:36 pm
I have always admired Alicia talent.But now she has disgraced herself with a man not equal to anyone.
I hope she had the financial savy to protect HER MONEY from being mingled with whatever he has.
Romance without finance is IGNORANCE!
I HAVE ADDED HER to the prayer list so she can will have a perfect child.
For him also,to find a way to pay his indebtness esp. to the child that’s already here.

August 3rd, 2010 at 2:40 am
Listen you got your opinion and i got mine.They way you feel about AK is how i feel about Ciara and i use to like her. As far as AK songs, who told you to believe everything you hear? And i still stay Ciara is just as bad. There is nothing humble about her fake a**. Do you actually think that she would be invited to the White HOuse because she is fit? Please you are nuts. After her nudity, stripper dancing and telling young girls how to ride a d**k you really think the President would let that slide and have her around his daughters….wake up. We can go on and on about AK or Ciara but it really isn’t our business. If you feel this strongly about her now, stop listening to her music, i stopped supporting Ciara a long time ago.
August 3rd, 2010 at 9:23 am
@ to the blind 1: stay civil. dont get an attitude. let us have a mature conversation. i def didnt know it was a song about d*ck riding. I thought the controversy was over the vid.
i do think ciara could be invited to the WH for fitness. ciara started off earnest & as she matured she did risky think. bk has down some risky things in her vid & she too dresses slutty @ times, buy why does she get a pass? remember that song ‘cater 2 u’?
back to ak: so i am wrong to believe ak? she seemed very earnest & has presented herself as such. she has always said she writes her songs from her experiences, to teach lessons, to inspire..so that is why i admired her & respected her.
i havent supported her last cd, & i change the radio station when she comes on.
October 15th, 2010 at 10:04 am
Very well said lilkunta. I have always loved AK and her songs made a lot of sense to me in the past. I no longer av much love or respect for her cos wat she did to Mashonda is horrible and karma will surely come to play in her marriage. It is only a matter of time.
