Alicia Keys and still-married record producer Swizz Beatz are stepping out together after months of fighting rumors of infidelity. The twosome made their first red carpet appearance as a couple at Gotham Magazine’s annual gala at Capitale in New York City Tuesday night.

The bold move comes just a week after Swizz opened up about his pending divorce from R&B songbird Mashonda in an interview with DJ Enuff: “It was the hardest thing I’ve ever been through,” he said before accusing Mashonda of sabotaging their marriage by creating a rift in his relationship with his oldest son.

He may not be divorced just yet by hip-hop producer Swizz Beatz is already eyeing a future with A. Keys, a new tabloid scoop claims.

Swizz, 31 –who is currently divorcing wife Mashonda — presented Alicia with a 7-carat diamond ring as he proposed marriage to the Harlem-bred songbird in Hawaii on Jan. 24, according to the Feb. 7 issue of Us Magazine.

“They are currently in Hawaii celebrating the engagement and her birthday. She feels blessed,” a friend of the previously-clandestine couple blabbed to the tab.

Singer filed for divorce from Mashonda, his wife of 4 years, in April 2009. His relationship with Keys is rumored to be behind the couple’s split.

If Mashonda’s Twitter Open Letter to alleged homewrecker A. Keys had you sitting on the edge of your seat, just wait until Swizzy’s soon-to-be former wifey gets word of this: Hip-hop supercouple Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keyshave sparked rumors they are set to move in together after they were spotted house hunting in lower Manhattan this week, Star Magazine snitches say.

Beatz, real name Kasseem Dean, confirmed he is dating Keys in May, after a long and messy split from Mashonda. The exes split in April 2008 after four years of marriage, and Mashonda filed for divorce in February.

Now Alicia, 28, and Swizz, 31, are reportedly taking their controversial relationship to the next level by purchasing a duplex penthouse.

“The place is amazing. It even has a 2,000-square-foot terrace… Alicia and Swizz were holding hands as they looked around for about 20 minutes,” says a spy.

On Friday, The YBF received a set of images featuring Swizz Beatz and his piano-playing Buss It Baby Alicia Keys sucking face in January of 2008…when the hitmaking producer was very much attached with his now-estranged wife, Mashonda.

Swizz has long denied hooking up with Alicia during his marriage to the R&B singer, despite Mashonda’s allegations to the contrary.

Chris Brown has unveiled the special effects-laden video for his comeback single, “I Can Transform Ya” — featuring Lil Wayne and Swizz Beatz. The extravagant vid was directed by lensman Joseph Kahn, who also worked with Chris on his hit “Forever” video.

For those who care, here’s a teaser of Chris Brown’s new music video “I Can Transform Ya” — featuring Lil Wayne and Swizz Beatz — which will premiere this Tues., Oct. 27 @ 6AM ET/PT on MTV Jams, MTV Hits and MTV.com.

The track will be featured on Beat Down Brown’s upcoming album Graffiti, scheduled for release Dec. 15. The video was directed by Joseph Kahn, who also worked with Chris on his hit “Forever” video.

Alicia Keys and her producer beau Swizz Beatz were spotted having an intimate dinner for two in St. Tropez, France on Wednesday.

Swizz, as you may recall, is still married to R&B singer Mashonda.

Hip-hop producer has paid to the late King of Pop painting a portrait of the late superstar.

Turns out A. Keys’ still-married Buss It Baby is an avid art collector, and he created this mixed-media piece, featuring Jackson during his heyday as child star of The Jackson 5, as a tribute to the music icon.

Swizz calls the piece “Remember The Time.”

“R.I.P. MJ the great. I took some time out to do a dedication piece tonight instead of rocking in the studio,” said in a Tweet Tuesday.
