He also has three other children by three women - Prince Nasir, 12, six-year-old Kasseem and four-year-old Nicole.

Grammy winner Beatz has produced for every major name in the record industry, including Beyonce, Chris Brown, Dr Dre and Kanye West.

He has his own record label, Full Surface, which he set up when he was 23.

According to reports last month Alicia is currently close to signing a $12million deal to buy the Englewood estate belonging to actor Eddie Murphy. 

The deal is significantly less than the original asking price Murphy originally put the home on the market seven years ago for $30million. 

The couple are also selling off their plush New York pad, which is on the market for $17.95million.

Beatz is understood to have bought the home in February 2010, shortly after Keys fell pregnant with Egypt.
