Just days after discussing racism in an interview, Alicia Keys and her husband Swizz Beatz took a break to indulge in lighter topics while spending a leisurely day at the beach. The 39-year-old singer-songwriter shared a YouTube video titled “Black Love” on Sunday, featuring the couple’s thoughts on spending time together during quarantine and the concept of ‘ghosting’ in relationships.

Alicia, clad in a gray hoodie and black mesh trucker hat, appeared relaxed alongside Swizz, who sported a white hoodie and backward pink hat. With their children playing nearby, they engaged in a Q&A session, reflecting on their increased togetherness during the pɑndemic.

Describing their quarantine experience as “real married,” Alicia expressed her enjoyment of the extra time spent together, relishing in the constant presence for their children. The couple also discussed the modern slang term ‘ghosting,’ with Swizz suggesting he would resort to it only if the energy between them felt off. Alicia, however, viewed ghosting as a means to definitively end a relationship, emphasizing the importance of communication.

When asked about the impact of parenthood on their relationship, Swizz emphasized the enhanced bond they shared with their children, despite joking initially about the loss of freedom. Alicia recommended taking time before starting a family, while Swizz highlighted the maturity children bring to parents.

Closing the video, Alicia revealed her enjoyment of writing letters during quarantine and expressed gratitude for their togetherness, affirming their love for each other with a sweet exchange and a kiss.
