Alicia Keys' husband thinks she's a natural mother

Alicia Keys is an expert at motherhood.

The R 'N' B singer who gave birth to her first child nearly two years ago naturally had the ability to be a parent according to her rapper husband.

Swizz Beatz said: "She's just a natural mum. She even surprised my mum, who wanted to give her tips but was like, 'What tips can I give her?! She's already ahead of the game.'"

The 33-year-old DJ - whose real name is Kasseem David Dean - added that he and his 31-year-old wife plan on having more children to accompany their 21-month-old son Egypt Daoud and his boy Prince Nasir, with a former partner.

He told website People.com at the ESPY Awards "God willing, yes. Everything just has to flow."

The couple were married in July 2010, three months before Egypt was born, however Swizz insists that the pair enjoy an exciting relationship.

He said: "We have a lot of fun and we're very family oriented."

Asked what's the most surprisingly thing about his new life, he replied: "That you can really be married to your best friend."
