Keys seen wearing engagement ring

Singer Alicia Keys is said to feel "thrilled" and "blessed" about her engagement to boyfriend Kasseem 'Swizz Beatz' Dean.

US Weekly reported that the American artist was spotted showing off a seven-karat diamond ring while the couple were on vacation in Hawaii.

Kasseem, a producer, is thought to have popped the question to the Grammy winner a day before she turned 29, on January 25.

A friend said: "They are currently in Hawaii celebrating the engagement and her birthday. She feels blessed."

Their marriage will be Kasseem's second. He filed for a divorce from singer Mashonda in April 2009.

The 31-year-old record producer has two sons, Prince and Kasseem Junior, and a daughter named KeAira.

Alicia's debut album Songs In A Minor sold more than 10 million copies across the world and won her five Grammy awards in 2002 including Best New Artist and Song Of The Year for Fallin'.
