Alicia Keys and her family were spotted enjoying a picturesque water taxi ride in Venice on Thursday, making the most of their vacation in the scenic Italian city. The 41-year-old singer looked stunning in a tropical print summer dress, accessorized with large gold hoop earrings and chic sunglasses, as she waved cheerfully from the boat. She was accompanied by her husband Swizz Beatz, 43, and their two sons, Egypt Daoud, 11, and Genesis, 7.

The family was first seen at Venice airport before boarding the water taxi and later dining at the upscale Ristorante Da Ivo, located just a few meters from the iconic St. Mark’s Square. Joining them on this family getaway were Swizz Beatz’s three children from previous marriages: Prince Nasir, 21, Kasseem Jr., 15, and Nicole, 13.

Alicia’s radiant look was completed by her long, dark braids and natural makeup, highlighting her beautiful features. Swizz Beatz, whose real name is Kasseem Dean, kept it casual in a pink T-shirt and a navy and white cap, capturing memories with his camera.

Married since 2010, Alicia and Swizz share a deep bond, clearly enjoying their time exploring Venice together. The couple appeared relaxed and happy, soaking in the sights of the historic city.

This family trip follows Alicia Keys’ recent defense of her performance of “Empire State of Mind” at the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations in the UK last month, where she faced some criticism but stood by her artistic choice.
