They are one of the music
world's golden couples, supporting each other through their careers and helping
to raise two-year-old son Egypt. But it seems that things
weren't always so rosy between Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz, as the superstar
has admitted that she found him 'annoying' when they first met. Speaking to Marie Claire, the
32-year-old opened up about the couple's long journey to romance, while posing
for an ethereal new photo shoot. 'Honestly, I didn't really like him that
much,' she said, talking about when she first met the American hip hop artist
while they were both teenagers. 'I though he was ostentatious. He'll drive the
fastest, brightest car, wear the biggest jewellery, the loudest jacket;
everything with him is really over the top,' she admitted.
'I was like, he is so
annoying,' she said, reminiscing about when she saw him drive past a restaurant
in a huge white Rolls-Royce Phantom. But after years of knowing each
other, and not quite managing to work together, the pair found themselves in
the studio, and a relationship soon followed. 'I fought tooth and nail,' she said, admitting that she originally didn't
want to work with him. 'Finally though, we did it and we had a ball.' 'I think we've taught each
other a lot,' she said. 'He's taught me how to live more fully and I've taught
him how to live more deeply.' The singer also admitted that she struggled with
the negative attitudes of people close to her during her rise to fame.
'There might have been
people in my life who, now, when I look back, I realise were kind of insulting
or abusive - verbally or emotionally - or just not supportive,' she said. Speaking about her beloved
two-year-old son, the singer says '[He] never gets grouchy or grumpy. He has a
great disposition.' The Girl On Fire singer poses in a number of show-stopping
gowns for the shoot, looking provocative in a sheer grey chiffon piece on the
cover. In another shot she's pictured wearing a floor-length leopard-print
dress, cinched in at the waist with a buckled belt, paired with gold stilettos.
