Alicia Keys has sparked rumors suggesting she has got secretly engaged to boyfriend Swizz Beatz. The "Doesn't Mean Anything" hitmaker was spotted flashing out a possible engagement ring on Sunday, January 24 during a vacation with her producer beau in Hawaii.

The couple were photographed taking a stroll along a Hawaii beach the day she was allegedly proposed. In the picture, the 29-year-old singer, who was clothed in casual white shirt, showed off her engagement ring on her left hand, while holding the hip-hop musician's hand tightly with the other hand.

Of the proposal, a pal told Us Magazine that Beatz asked for the "Smokin' Aces" actress' hand in marriage with a 7-carat ring a day before before her January 25 birthday. While a representative for Keys denied the engagement rumor, another friend revealed that the lovebirds "are currently in Hawaii celebrating the engagement and her birthday." The insider further noted, "She is thrilled. She is with the man who has inspired so much of her music and her new album [The Element of Freedom]."

In December 2009, Star Magazine reported that the "Try Sleeping with a Broken Heart" hitmaker had already thought about moving in together with hip-hop musician. The couple were seen house hunting in New York. At the time, the lovebirds were said looking at a duplex penthouse. A source said, "Alicia and Swizz were holding hands as they looked around for about 20 minutes."

Swizz Beatz, whose real name is Kasseem Mike Dean, confirmed his romance with Alicia Keys back in May 2009. Before romancing the 29-year-old beauty, he was married to R 'n' B singer Mashonda, with whom he has a son named Kasseem Dean, Jr. In April 2008, he and Mashonda decided to split, and finally filed for divorce in February 2009.
