Recent rumors have stated that Alicia Keys is pregnant. As of right now, they are indeed just rumors as there has been no confirmation from any sources, and the pictures that have surfaced could have been doctored or shot from a misleading angle. The most recent picture, which shows Keys singing from a side angle with a bump in the right area on her body lead some to believe that she was pregnant, could have easily been taken when she was inhaling deep before singing, giving it the appearance that she had put on a little extra weight toward the middle of her body. Keys has not commented on the photo, and still the rumors persist.

Hip Hop Weekly first posted the rumor two weeks ago, but other sites did not jump on the bandwagon until recently. Keys has been dating producer and boyfriend Swizz Beatz for quite some time. Swizz has been caught up in a custody battle with his former wife, and recently became engaged to Keys, according to recent reports. Representatives for either side have not commented on the engagement, but one source did say that the two of them took an extended vacation to celebrate their engagement.

So for now, the outlets wait to hear the news straight from Alicia’s mouth. Is she pregnant? It is not a sure thing, but the pictures do appear to show a pregnant Keys.

Last week rumors swirled about Alicia Keys being secretly engaged to producer Swizz Beatz. Sources told US Magazine that Swizzy surprised Keys with a 7-carat rock while they were in Hawaii celebrating the singer’s birthday. Now, the newest rumor is that the couple have purchased a penthouse apartment together to celebrate.

According to the NY Post, Keys and Swizzy purchased the New York penthouse from Lenny Kravitz for a reported $14.5 million. A source close to Kravitz confirmed the sale of the huge duplex apartment in Manhattan, which was previously rented from Kravitz by Nicole Kidman and Denzel Washington. It has been on the market for eight years. The building also boasts celebrity tenants Courtney Love and Liv Tyler. The couple’s rep told the paper, however, that the rumors are not true. Keys and the producer have been linked together for well over a year. While neither has confirmed that there is a relationship, Swizzy’s soon-to-be-ex, Mashonda, has stated publicly that Keys was one of the main reasons for the split between her and Swizz .
