During an interview with MTV, Swizz Beatz had a few kind words to say about his Super Star wife, Alicia Keys. He talks openly about being in “love” with the pop singer, and how finding real love has changed him into “a better person”.
Check out what Swizzy had to say about loving Alicia Keys when you continue reading…
“It’s just a feeling,” Swizz said of he and Keys’ relationship. “Love is a word that’s powerful but the feeling is even stronger…To identify that feeling is something that’s amazing because it doesn’t only come from your partner. It comes from your love for music, your love for people, your love for a lot of things, and I think that once you identify the feeling of love, you’ll be a better person.”
“I’m a better man. I think that having love in your life, it just has that effect. Because then you spread love. You can’t enjoy love without spreading love. I just think that it all falls in the pocket.”
*Side Note* He must really want Mashonda to keep talking because every time he opens his mouth and raises his hand to praise his love for Alicia Keys, he’s using the other one to back hand his ex. At what point will people stop talking…I don’t understand how stars don’t want the media to talk about their relationship, yet the stars keep running to the media to talk.

Seriously, he was was doing a interview about his music and was asked a question about his wife. I’m sorry but I don’t think it’s fair to say he shouldn’t say anything. Mashonda has moved on (so she says) so have Swizz he’s in love with AK and just like any other person he has the right to express that love.

@Callie,
If you talk about your relationship to the media then the media will ask questions. If you want your private life to stay private then you say things like I don’t discuss my private life, or you keep it simple, down to one statement. Think Beyonce!
Every time Swizz says something, that means Mashonda has a right to respond or defend herself in the public eye, and it becomes a public cycle of he said v. she said.
The best way to avoid these wars is to say as little as possible or nothing at all.
It has nothing to do with liking or disliking Swizz, is all about the PR.
He can say I love my wife, but unfortunately he said a lot more, and implied a lot more. Whatever a celebrity puts in the public arena is fair game for the media good or bad.

@MrsGrapevine 2,
I agree with you 100%. even if the interviewer asks about his new marriage, it seems a little insensitive to gush about being sooo in love given the circumstances. Its tough enough trying to get over a failed relationship without your ex’s new relationship being thrown in your face so publically. all three need to pull a Beyonce and stay quiet about their private lives.

@MrsGrapevine 2,
I don’t think he implied anything, go look at the video on mtv he really was just answering a question, and he answered it as he was speaking on love in general. Plus, Mashonda is the one who started talking first so in your logic he has the right to keep defending and speaking on his love for Alicia. *sigh* Anyways I wish all the best. I’ve never seen Alicia or Swizz this happy before, I believe what is meant to be will be.

@Callie,
By mo logic it doesn’t matter who spoke first if each person keeps trying to control the other person’s message. Thus the cycle of he said/she said. For the record, Mashonda didn’t speak first.
Alicia Keys is not talking much. It’s mostly Swizz and Mashonda going back and forth and back and forth.
IMO, he sounds like he’s never had love “in general” before. Ouch!
Didn’t we learn this lesson with Brad Pitt, don’t shy away from your love, but don’t twist a knife in your ex’s heart either.
I remember Jennifer Aniston on Oprah and every news source talking about Brad Pitt missing a sensitivity chip.
These women were already scorned in public, they are going to be bitter and more sensitive. It’s the same in real life.
Lastly, I don’t want any harm to come to AK or Swizzy. So instead of trying to control the message they should learn from Beyonce. Silence goes a long way.

@MrsGrapevine 2, no offense but how is a blog going to tell somebody how to express themselves?? Blogs say what they feel everyday and dare somebody to tell them to shut up. It is your opinion that what Swizz said was insensitive to Mashonda but she recently made a comment on her blog about the element of freedom and folks said she was taking a shot. Even in her Vibe interview she said she wasn’t in love so was that insensitive to swizz? Now that she has a weekly blog she will be doing alot of talking. We all know that if Swizz would not have answered the question about his marriage then the title of this post and others would have probably been “Trouble in Paradise, Swizz doesn’t acknowledge……” But he answered it and there is still a problem. Mashonda spoke on her new man and Swizz spoke on his new wife, does it matter who said more than the other? For the record Beyonce/Jay do talk about their marriage they just control how often.

@,
I wasn’t speaking as a blogger. As a blogger, I want them to keep talking.
I was saying that from a PR stand point.
Secondly, I am a blogger. I open myself up to ridicule every day. I have been called all sorts of names, some of which I wouldn’t use against my enemies, BUT, I also know it comes with the job. I didn’t think I was being negative, but that didn’t stop people from seeing it as negative, or telling me how I should write. Case in point…Also, I didn’t defend Mashonda although you’re taking it that way. I said when are they going to stop talking, not when is “he”.
Like wise, Swizz may have had positive intentions, but that doesn’t mean we all see it that way either. He hasn’t been that nice to Mashonda in the press and vice versa, so I don’t know what to make of his statement.
Lastly, Beyonce talks about her marriage now, and has opened up over time. But for years, she has said no comment. Her wedding was a secret, and no one has pictures of her wedding. She doesn’t send out press releases about her relationship either. I think everyone else knew what I meant, like you know what Swizz meant, right?

I totally agree with you Mrs.Grapevine….they dont want to answer the real questions or talk about real issues, instead he wants to pretend they are the perfect couple. It makes me sick.

I am so tired of Swizz Beatz and Mashonda, they say they have moved and I really wish they would. I agree they can easily take the Beyonce/JayZ approach but neither has, mashonda continues to talk about her marriage. they both need to stop talking, not only does swizz need to stop but so does mashonda bc every week she is talking about her failed marriage. I really hope that they are both happy..i have to be honest, when i see pics of swizz and ak, they really do look happy and that happiness does appear to be genuine. if you look at old pics of swizz and mashonda they just look as if things werent right in their marriage. they just didnt look as happy as swizz and ak does..who knows maybe they are truly happy together. i just hope that mashonda can find the same happiness.

I agree. Mashonda and Swizz Beatz looked tormented on the red carpet.
Swizz does have that glow now.

@Michelle,
I know real life never fail to show you the truth, everything else is just human desires and fantasy. When you create something out of hurt and pain it usually ends the same way. So Michelle let me pose the same question to you what do you know? Relationships don’t fail because of the relationships but because of the people in those relationships and the same goes for marriages.

@resurrected, I never said that I knew, which is why I do not judge the situation because I do not know. You are correct the people in the relationships are the responsible parties for the success or failure of the relationship, and that means that if the relationship was not solid from the beginning and if someone settled then that is the type of relationship that they will have. Mashonda settled for Swizz!! he showed her who he was before she married him and she still did it, it was never solid. In Alicia’s case, as far as I know he hasn’t cheated on her or mistreated her, so she cannot base her relationship with him off of his relationship with others, only her experiences with him, and if he has then time will tell. I know people that are on a second marraige and it has lasted for many, many years because that person grew or they were a better match for each other than the previous marraige. Like I said sometimes these things just happen.

@resurrected,
Well he married her as well or at least ask her to marry him as well so does that mean that he settled. Yeah some things don’t work out but that is still because of the poeple within the relationships. So maybe Swizz is willing to do more for Ak then he was willing to do for Mashonda but he will still be giving of himself to make it work sounds like the same thing to me.

ok, so the man is in love and he said so, big deal, that’s all it is, sometimes realtionships don’t work and you move on, sometimes you get the bad part of a person and someone else gets the better part because they have grown, it happens. Maybe she brings out something in him that Mashonda did not, it happens people move on. I love the way that these two maintain their privacy, they say only what they want to say. I should say him because AK says nothing. I love it. Mashonda doesn’t need to respond, she has said enough, we have heard it all, its over, he is in love with someone else. This happens every single day people.

@Michelle,
I think the reason this issue is such a sore topic with a lot of people (myself included) is because of the way Swizz and AK started their relationship (while he was still married) and also the fact that he repeatedly cheated on Mashonda and even had a baby with another women during that time. mashonda stood by him through all of that, and for him to say that he finally found real love is like a slap in the face. just because this type of situation happens every single day does not mean that it is right or morally sound.

@LovelyDay, my problem with the whole her sticking by him while all this happened is that she went into the situation eyes wide open, when someone shows you who they are you should believe them. She married him after he cheated on her and had a baby by someone else, she made this bed, he showed her right then and there and she continued the relationship. I cannot feel sorry for that. I say the same thing to her that I would say to my sister or a girlfriend. Once you married him, you accepted him for exactly what he was based on how he treated you prior to the marriage. Women always believe that they can change a man a man has to want to change himsel for the better and maybe Alicia makes him want to do that, maybe she holds his feet to the fire and maybe he loves her so much that he is willing to change to make sure that he does not lose her, sometimes that is just the way it is.

@Michelle,
I agree with you!!! When I found out that Mashonda married him knowing he was a cheater, I no longer saw her as just a victim. Maybe she believed marriage would be different, and though that was his way of committing. IDK, but she knew what she was marrying.
Which means so does AK. But that’s a risk AK is willing to take. Her ending may be different, or it may be an “I told you so”.
I do think people change, and each relationship is different. So I hope he is a better man, but only time will tell. Right now, we are comparing the beginning of a relationship to the end of a 10 year one.

@Michelle,
There is only a story if people talk.
If Swizz wants to talk about his love, then Mashonda has a right to talk about her pain.
Swizz has been very outspoken, in fact just as out spoken as Mashonda.
Quite frankly, I wish Mashonda would be quiet, too. Both camps are using this publicity to their advantage. It may very well go on until Swizz and AK have a second child.

@MrsGrapevine 2, I see no problem with a man or woman talking about their love for their spouse if they are asked, clearly he is not ashamed of it. Mashonda can talk if she likes but it is not doing her any good, she comes off as desperate, and the things that she spoke on most recently is really not her place to speak on, this is now his family. The kids are his and he will have to be the one to bring them together, so it’s one thing to talk about your new wife and your love, it’s another to talk about someone elses personal business, that you no longer have any say in, other than deciding whether or not you want your kid to be a part of that extended family.

@janetfromNC, Nobody is dumb we all realize that none of these children will have their father in the home but that was the case before Alicia. We know Swizz can’t be in several places at one time. With that being the case would you rather him not try at all to see his kids? No matter what happened with the marriage he is not wrong for at least trying to be a presence in his childrens life, how do you know he doesn’t call them on the phone everyday or does webcam?? You don’t know what he does to keep up with his kids. I mean really we have Lil Wayne in jail and he can’t see none of his umpteen kids…Swizz had his first kid at 19/20 so I hope after many bad decisions he has matured, that is possible you know.

@ who???, If you realize this grown man is not in the home with all his kids, that shows irresponsibility(if it was the mothers that would be the first thing said). I never said he was wrong for “trying” supposedly to be there via email(lol),webcam,and phone, but that is not the definition of a FULL TIME FATHER SWEETIE! Lil Wayne really has nothing to do with this current situation, but if you must, then lets go there….Wayne was only married 1(one) time, there are no rumors about him cheating or having affairs when he was married, and when he did divorce Toya, they remained FRIENDS and you saw his daughter EVERYWHERE with him! Furthermore, Wayne is man enough to have all his baby mamas in the same room together, and no one person has a problem! So lets just say WAYNE (VS) SWIZZ, HANDS DOWN WAYNE WINS !!! BACK TO SWIZZ, I would hope after 4 kids a MAN OR WOMAN has matured considering they are GROWN enough to keep producing their off spring.

@janetfromNCR, so if what you are saying about irresponsibility is true, then there are a great deal of irresponsible men out here, there are many great fathers that are not in the home with their children, due to whatever circumstance, but they take care of their children. I would prefer to have a father that loves me and takes care of me and spends time with me outside of the home than to have a miserable father who is always arguing with my mother and unhappy inside the home, your point is not valid. A real woman would not keep a man from his children, she would encourage him to have a healthy relationship with his kids and bring them into the fold. I believe from what I have seen f
