The Grammy winning singer/songwriter Alicia Keys and her producer/rapper husband Swizz Beatz have welcomed their first child together, a baby boy, on October 14 inNew York City.

Alicia Keys no longer has to waddle around looking like a balloon that’s about to pop at any second, because she finally did! The ‘If I Ain’t Got You’ singer gave birth yesterday (Thursday, October 14, 2010), which is a bit of a surprise because the baby’s due date wasn’t until sometime in November…Congratulations to the happy parents!

E!News explains, Daoud, pronounced da-ood, is Arabic for David, Swizz Beatz’s middle name. His first name could be because the country of Egypt holds a very special place in Alicia heart. In the midst of dealing with the loss of a loved one and struggling to finish her third album, Alicia spent time there and was struck with profound inspiration that she’s said was life-changing.

In other news –Keys announced her forthcoming track ‘Wait Till You See My Smile’ is set for release later this month.

Proud father Swizz took to Twitter to express his joy over his new bundle.”I’m so thankful for everything I been blessed with in my life wowwwwww,”.

Baby Egypt is Alicia Keys’ first child, Swizz’s fourth.
