Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz are Official

Its wedding season and Alicia Keys proved that you can be pregnant and still look stylish and beautiful in your wedding dress. This past Saturday Keys, who is in her last trimester, said “I do” to music producer, Swizz Beatz.  So often women shy away from walking down the aisle when they’re pregnant because of how they think they’re going to look in their dress.   Keys looked like an Egyptian Goddess in her Vera Wang gown, head piece and Christian Louboutin shoes. The 29 year old songstress and husband, whose real name is Kasseem Dean (31), had a small intimate wedding with their close family and friends in southern Corsica Piantarella, located in Italy.  The wedding may have been small but there were some really big names in attendance such as Bono, Tommy Hilfiger and Queen Latifah. Soon-to-be mother Alicia Keys is now stepmother to two sons and one daughter.

All summer Keys has shown the world how to be fabulous and pregnant at the same time. Her looks have ranged from rompers to mini dresses. Bye bye 80′s mom hello fabulous! Of course you want to be comfortable while you’re pregnant but gone are the days where you have to wear mom jeans and oversized shirts. Women are embracing their baby bump and looking like hot mama’s while doing so!

Shar Jackson and K’Fed putting the kids first- even Brittney’s!

This story was first published by Sassy on babble.

Shar Jackson and Kevin Federline may not be suited for each other in the romance department since they’re no longer together but that doesn’t mean they don’t get along and put their children first.

Jackson and Federline have 2 children together, Kori, 5, and Kaleb, 3 and we all know who else K’Fed has children with. Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1, get to spend time with their half siblings and get to bond with them.  Both Kevin and Shar think that’s important.  Shar says that she and Kevin get along great and that she even helps out with Britney’s boys.  “We definitely make sure the kids all bond together,” Jackson told reporters Tuesday night at EA’s Launch For The Need For Speed Game in L.A. “I mean, they’re siblings, they need each other.  We’re not together or anything but we’re definitely still a family unit,” says Jackson, the ex Moesha cast member.  You know, I really give them credit, even Federline, for putting the needs of their children first and foremost.

Jackson continues, “Honestly, we’re like the best of friends. Obviously, the relationship didn’t work out for a reason, and we’re cool with that. But we’re still a part of each other’s lives. And our children get to see two people who aren’t together but still have a great relationship, and I think that’s really important.”  Too bad Britney couldn’t figure this stuff out. 

And Shar gives Kevin alot of credit in the parenting department and says she trusts him completely with their children: “I know he’s in a good place,” she says, “the kids are in a good place, and I made sure from day one – I told him, ‘You make sure you have our children.’ ”

Jackson said that she and Kevin don’t really talk about the “Britney stuff” because it would be a “non-stop” conversation, so they just focus on other, more important things-the kids!  At least Sean and Jayden have some stability in their little lives!
